Fam Pract Manag. 2006 Jun;13(6):16-20.
As two young family physicians who are excited about our profession, we were sad to see yet another editorial outlining all that is wrong with family medicine ["Reinventing Family Medicine," April 2006]. Lately, every time you open an AAFP publication the themes are the same: unhappiness, declining match numbers, and specialists receiving all the reimbursement. Even worse are the published opinions on how to "fix" family medicine. These opinions seem to be written by burned-out family physicians who bow down to specialists, have no idea how to cultivate successful businesses and don't know what matters to medical students when they make career choices.
We are lucky to be working in young, aggressive family medicine groups (one with three family physicians in rural South Carolina and one with 30 physicians in six locations in suburban North Carolina) where we provide top-notch medical care including same-day appointments and multiple in-house ancillary procedures such as CT scanning, MRI, DEXA scanning, ultrasound, two-dimensional echocardiography, colonoscopy, endoscopy, vasectomy, nuclear stress testing and a sleep lab. We know of several other family medicine groups who do the same.
Our patients love the fact that virtually any procedure or diagnostic test they may need can be done by their doctor in their medical home. Excellent patient care is always our primary focus. We were surprised by Dr. Sanford Brown's comment that patients select specialists to do their procedures. We have had the exact opposite experience. Our patients sometimes refuse to undergo diagnostic or screening procedures unless they are done by their doctor in our offices. We were offended by Dr. Brown's suggestion that family physicians are inferior to specialists. When did we stop believing in ourselves? Family physicians are the real doctors who cultivate patient-physician relationships and are depended on in good times and bad. Our patients call us to verify that the treatment a specialist has recommended is right for them. We must work together with specialists, remembering that they depend on us. Our excellence should command their respect, which, in turn, benefits our patients.
Dr. Brown's editorial is a perfect example of the attitude that is causing the perceived decline of family medicine. Instead of focusing our efforts on the electronic health record, as the Future of Family Medicine project suggests, or on Dr. Brown's list of skill sets, let's fight for equal hospital privileges, better reimbursement and a reduction of certificate-of-need requirements for office-based imaging equipment. Let's not expose third-year medical students to downtrodden, specialist-idolizing family doctors who feel threatened by midlevel providers and retail health clinics. Let's show them the real future of family medicine – aggressive family medicine practices where the physicians make a salary equal to any specialist while practicing world-class, comprehensive care and having fun doing it.
Dr. Sanford Brown gives a wonderful description of a reinvigorated practice of family medicine. Many pessimists believe our specialty is shrinking because of less hospital work, less maternity care and fewer procedures. Family medicine is not shrinking but morphing into a much broader community-based specialty. Thirty years ago, patients generally came to see us only when they were sick. Illness care dominated our office schedules. Today, we do comprehensive preventive medicine and chronic illness management and attend to the psychosocial needs of our patients, along with providing traditional acute illness care. Our work has become so broad and complex that brief office visits are no longer adequate for every patient. As we reinvent our specialty using online communication and electronic records shared with our patients, we should celebrate that family medicine is a specialty of great breadth that has expanded its scope of practice.
I read Dr. Sanford Brown's editorial with interest. I believe Dr. Brown's facts are right, but I suspect he is not a full-time practicing physician. I am a rural physician currently on leave of absence due to professional burnout and depression. For the past 20 years, I have tried every conceivable practice arrangement and have watched my revenues fall while my working hours, lawsuits and patient expectations increase. Meanwhile, the radiologists are taking one in every six weeks off, and the ophthalmologist is complaining that the dues at his exclusive country club have been increased to more than $30,000 a year. I don't know how to fix our broken health care system, but until primary care physicians are paid on a par with other specialists, we are going to continue to see early retirement by doctors 50 years old and older and less interest in primary care by medical students.
I found Dr. Brown's thoughts in "Reinventing Family Medicine" to be very provocative and, quite often, spot-on. Today's family physicians are frequently not family doctors in the traditional sense of the word. A lot of our residency training is wasted time. We do need to be leaders in information mastery and championing its importance for quality patient care. We should quit fighting for procedure privileges and focus our energy in a more productive way: We should reclaim house calls. That's a war we can win just by showing up!
"Do we truly take care of families? In fact, if we had to restrict our practices to families, we would not survive. Our patients are family members, but for the most part we don't care for whole families." I do take care of families.
I do take care of families I see children, their parents, their grandparents, their aunts and uncles, and their cousins. Families are my base. I have multiple four-generation families in my practice. In contrast to Dr. Brown's assertion, I could not survive on "individual" medicine.
Although I do not claim obstetrics as part of my practice, four years ago I delivered a baby in the emergency department of our 25-bed hospital. Since then, I have taken care of him, his mother and his now 2-year-old sister. Last year, all were present in the exam room when I triaged and initiated treatment for his grandmother who was having an MI. This is the family medicine for which I signed up – not the OB and the MI parts, but the family dynamics part.
In areas where the population is transient, primary care physicians are abundant or patients are more specialty-focused, family physicians are going to struggle. Do we still have something unique to offer? Absolutely. But we're misleading ourselves and our future colleagues if we ignore the reality that family medicine in a city of 500,000 has very different challenges than in a town of 5,000 or less.
Rather than change the definition of family medicine, let's be open to the reality that family physicians are appreciated and rewarded most where they are needed most. Other disciplines in medicine seem to acknowledge this concept without reservation. If you're not a physician who is inclined to work in a high-need area, be prepared for the challenges that lie ahead.
Perhaps this is where Dr. Brown and I find common ground once again. If our training included preparation for these challenges rather than checklists of irrelevant clinical rotations and procedures, maybe the disillusionment and dissatisfaction felt by so many family physicians would be avoided. We need to train our residents to navigate the turbulent waters of practice in the "real world," wherever their real world turns out to be. But they still need to understand that "family doctor" is what it says it is, and they should be proud to be one. If they are not, they picked the wrong job.
I agree with much of Dr. Sanford Brown's editorial. However, if we return to simply encouraging well visits and prevention models, we have given ourselves the kiss of death. If we go back to teaching prevention, doing well visits and "managing families," as Dr. Brown proposes, family medicine should be passed to midlevel providers. These are the areas where they excel. There is no need for 11 years of post-high-school education and training to do the things Dr. Brown outlined. I am wholeheartedly in favor of better training in our residencies in the very areas he suggests. However, we must be the forerunners of treatment, not just prevention, for the ailments we see daily. We should be managing patients' diabetes, COPD, asthma, heart disease and other chronic conditions. This is well within our realm, and we should be good at it. We should also be doing more procedures. As an employed physician, my scope of practice no longer includes all the things I was trained to do, but I remain grateful for the training I received. It makes me a better doctor.
If family medicine continues to decline, we may need to reduce the time it takes to complete our training, which would in turn reduce our educational debt. This would make family medicine a more attractive career choice for many students.
I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of a colonoscopy from Drs. Grunsky and Capps until they've done as many as the gastroenterologist who did mine, who also did a yearlong scope fellowship before he began private practice. It's comforting to know your doctor does 50 colonoscopies a week and has done more than 10,000 procedures. I don't worry about his technique or whether he knows what he's looking at. I find it much more comforting than going to an FP who took an Academy course and just finished his 50th proctored case. Ditto for endoscopies and reading CTs, MRIs, ultrasounds and nuclear stress testing.
I sympathize with Dr. Holscher but suggest that it is conceivable for us to make as much money as ophthalmologists, radiologists and other specialists if only they would accept our pay scale. Barring that, it really is possible for an FP to make a good living – even while working part time as I do – if they know how to run their own practices. I preached this for more than six years when I wrote FPM's "Practice Diary" department.
I suspect that Dr. Switzer was a GP before he became an FP. It is ironic that the old GPs were more family physicians in the true sense of the word than are many of our current FPs. Practice in a city of under 5,000 and you may still be able to do it all.
Dr. Buffey objects to spending 11 years on post-high-school education only to practice prevention and family dynamics. Might I point out that preventive medicine and psychiatry are specialties with training programs as long as family medicine's. What I object to is us working for people with far less education than that. I agree that we need to reclaim our niche of doing acute and chronic ambulatory care better than everyone else instead of copying bits and pieces of every other discipline.
It is gratifying to me that Dr. Scherger shares my vision for the specialty.

Peloton Pauses Classes After Employee's Positive Test
Brock Fritz
Peloton held out as long as it could before canceling live video classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The fitness company announced Monday that it will discontinue livestreaming classes from its studios in New York and London after a New York employee tested positive for coronavirus last week. According to CNN, no classes were held at the New York studio over the weekend. Peloton originally planned on returning to live classes on Tuesday before making the decision to cancel.
The blog post, which came from Peloton cofounder and CEO John Foley, said that the pause in live production will go through April 30.
"We will continue to monitor the situation as it evolves," Foley's post said. "In addition to the thousands of classes across 10 fitness disciplines available on-demand, we'll continue to add new, pre-recorded content like our recently launched Fit Family Programming and Dance Cardio to continue to bring you the best workouts possible during this time."
According to The Hill, a Peloton spokesperson emailed the company's members Monday, saying that it believes its workout videos are essential for community wellbeing while much of the population is practicing social distancing. Members, who can purchase Peloton bikes and treadmills and pay a monthly subscription for live classes, will continue to have access to archive classes, which include disciplines like cycling, treadmill and strength.
"We had continued to operate our New York and Peloton studios in adherence with guidance provided by the local governments and public health authorities in both regions," the spokesperson said.

"Be it known to all who enter here that Christ is the reason for this school. He is the unseen but ever present teacher in its classes. He is the model of its faculty and the inspiration of its students."
Seton Catholic Central was built in 1962 at 70 Seminary Ave in Binghamton, NY and opened as Catholic Central High School in 1963. When the school opened as Seton Catholic Central High School in 1976, it housed students from both Catholic Central High School in Binghamton, NY and Seton Catholic High School in Endicott, NY. The schools had to merge because of declining enrollments and a deficit. The Sisters of Charity, who staffed Seton, and the Sisters of St. Joseph, who manned Catholic Central, were moved to the new school to be the main part of the faculty with Reverend VanAmburgh as the principal. The tuition at the time of the merger was $500 per student (it had increased $50 more than the tuition at the two high schools), with a maximum of $950 per family.
The class of 1977 was the first graduating class from Seton Catholic Central and had 281 members in it. Classes included math, science, English, foreign language (including Spanish), physical education, social studies, and business. Popular activities for students included chorus, newspaper, ski club, Marian Association, key club, mission club, pep club, bowling, and basketball.
The building has two floors and a basement with 39 classrooms, including the band room, chorus room, computer lab, science labs and art room. The gymnasium has been used for various sporting events, including basketball, musicals and plays (featured on the stage), graduations, masses, assemblies, and other events. The building also has a chapel near the gym that is used for daily masses and is also used by religion classes during the school day. Within the building there is also a library with computers that is used for studying, the Saintly Grounds afterschool café, and a main office.
In 2011, Seton Catholic Central High School became Seton Catholic Central when it opened its doors to students in 7th and 8th grades. Today Seton Catholic Central has students in grades 7- 12 and has approximately 355 students, with Mr. Patrick Monachino as the principal. The school offers many class options for all learning levels, as well as many sports and activities for all students. Students from all over the Binghamton area attend the school, as well as international students from places such as Germany, Italy and Asia.

WHERE ARE THE INDICTMENTS? RICO – THROW THE BOOK AT THEM – LOCK THEM UP

Charitable charity ! ! ! !
Just good down home folks doing good work!
A Charitable Foundation Folds
Have you wondered why the Clinton Foundation folded so suddenly after Hillary was no longer in a position of influence? Perhaps this summary will provide some insight??
They list 486 employees (line 5)! It took 486 people who are paid $34.8 million and $91.3 million in fees and expenses, to give away $5.1 MILLION
This is real. You can check the return yourself (see below). The real heart of the Clintons can be seen here. Staggering but not surprising.. These figures are from an official copy of the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation for the tax year 2014. The copy of the tax return is from the National Center for Charitable Statistics web site. You can obtain the latest tax return on any charitable organization there.
The Clinton Foundation:
Number of Employees (line 5) 486
Total revenue (line 12) $177,804,612.00
Total grants to charity (line 13) $5,160,385.00 (this is less than 3%)
Total expenses of $91,281,145.00
Expenses include:
Salaries (line 15) $34,838,106.00
Fund raising fees (line 16a) $850,803.00
Other expenses (line 17) $50,431,851.00 HUH??????
Travel $8,000,000.00
Meetings $12,000,000.00
Net assets/fund balances (line 22) $332,471,349.00
So it required 486 people, who were paid $34.8 million, plus $91.3 million in fees and expenses, to give away $5.1 MILLION! And they call this a CHARITY?
(It is alleged that this is one of the greatest white-collar crimes ever committed. And just think—one of the participants was a former president and one (gasp!) wanted to be elected president of the United States. If justice was truly served they would both be in prison).
Feel free to pass this on to your friends so they can also be informed
A 2011 memo that raises questions as to where Bill Clinton's philanthropic endeavors ended and for profit ventures began.
In a 2011 memo, an aide to Bill Clinton laid out the messy relationship between the Clinton Foundation and the former president's personal interests, detailing how some foundation donors also paid Clinton to speak and provide consulting services.
The memo was released on Wednesday as part of a Wikileaks dump of Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta's hacked emails.
Doug Band, a long-time aide to Bill Clinton, wrote the 2011 memo as part of an internal audit at the Clinton Foundation. In trying to explain his role in the Foundation, Band also brought up a series of instances he and his consulting company, Teneo Holdings, helped Bill Clinton secure for-profit contracts.
The memo, which was being circulated to some in Clinton's inner circle including Podesta, reinforces Republican criticisms of the blurred lines between the foundation and professional interests of the Clintons and their associates.
"Independent of our fundraising and decision-making activities on behalf of the Foundation, we have dedicated ourselves to helping the President secure and engage in for-profit activities — including speeches, books, and advisory service engagements," Band wrote. "In that context, we have in effect served as agents, lawyers, managers and implementers to secure speaking, business and advisory service deals. In support of the President's for-profit activity, we also have solicited and obtained, as appropriate, in-kind services for the President and his family — for personal travel, hospitality, vacation and the like."
At one point, Band even referred to the former president's money-making enterprises as "Bill Clinton, Inc."
Band said he and Justin Cooper, another long-time aide, weren't separately compensated for helping Bill Clinton profit.
"We do not receive a fee for, or percentage of, the more than $50 million in for-profit activity we have personally helped to secure for President Clinton to date or the $66 million in future contracts, should he choose to continue with those engagements," he continued.
Band offered specific examples of donors who also worked with Bill Clinton in a private capacity as well.
Band noted that Laureate International Universities was a foundation donor, having donated $1.4 million at the time the memo was written. The for-profit college network ultimately retained the former president as an adviser, paying him millions of dollars over several years.
"Laureate is a Foundation relationship that evolved into a personal advisory services business relationship for President Clinton," Band wrote in the memo. He said he began managing the relationship which Teneo partners took over in 2011, and which Band said "is very time-consuming. Laureate pays President Clinton $3.5 million annually to provide advice and serve as their Honorary Chairman."
Another Teneo client, GEMS education, had donated approximately $780,000 by the time the memo was written in 2011.
"Gems approached President Clinton in 2009 to seek his personal services as an advisor to the company," Band wrote. "Justin and I convinced them to initiate a relationship to the Foundation, which they did; that relationship has grown into a business relationship for President Clinton and a donor relationship for CGI."
In an email to Podesta, who at the time was involved with the Clinton Foundation, Band brought up the fact he had been required to sign a conflict of interest policy because his wife designed bags for the charity and his consulting firm represented some of the foundation donors.
"Oddly, wjc (William Jefferson Clinton) does not have to sign such a document even though he is personally paid by 3 cgi (Clinton Global Initiative) sponsors, gets many expensive gifts from them, some that are at home etc," Band wrote. "I could add 500 different examples of things like this."
A spokesperson from Teneo forwarded a statement to USA TODAY.
"As the memo demonstrates, Teneo worked to encourage clients, where appropriate, to support the Clinton Foundation because of the good work that it does around the world. It also clearly shows that Teneo never received any financial benefit or benefit of any kind from doing so," the statement said.
The email with the memo was part of a near-daily dump by Wikileaks. The Clinton campaign has neither confirmed or denied the authenticity of the emails, but they blame the Russians for the hack, saying President Vladimir Putin is trying to skew the election for Donald Trump.
Trump immediately jumped on the report at a rally in Ohio Thursday.
"The more emails Wikileaks releases the more lines between the Clinton Foundation, the secretary of state's office and the Clinton's personal financiers — they all get blurred," Trump said.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions revealed Thursday a federal prosecutor was evaluating certain issues involving the FBI, the (click)Clinton Foundation and Uranium One, but said he would not appoint a second special counsel at this point.

ARE YOU A CITIZEN? THE QUESTION UPSETS THE CRIME SYNDICATE OF SANCTUARY STATES
The question is this. Back when the Constitution was written just about everyone in the United States was a citizen; well except the Native Americans. We doubt that they were counted, a great many of them lived in the West and South; areas which did not become states until later on.
So we pose a salient question! What would the Founding Fathers have said if say, Virginia brought in two million Englishmen for a one year visit in 1790? Would they be counted in the Census? We doubt it.
Or what would the powers in charge say if two million Quebecois strolled down from the North landing in Massachusetts due to an invite? The possibility of them being counted is highly unlikely.
In today's very volatile theater the Supreme Court must weigh in on the counting of illegals who flood states like the Sanctuary State of California, thereby garnering them a higher portion of representation that would ordinarily not happen.
Counting of ILLEGALS IS ILLEGAL – THE SUPREME COURT HAS TO PUT A STOP TO IT.
The United States Census is a decennial census mandated by Article I, Section 2 of the United States Constitution, which states: "Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States … according to their respective Numbers .
The United States Census is a decennial census mandated by Article I, Section 2 of the United States Constitution, which states: "Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States … according to their respective Numbers … . The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years." The United States Census Bureau (officially the Bureau of the Census, as defined in Title 13 U.S.C. § 11) is responsible for the United States Census. The Bureau of the Census is part of the United States Department of Commerce.
The first census after the American Revolution was taken in 1790, under Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson; there have been 22 federal censuses since that time. The current national census was held in 2010; the next census is scheduled for 2020 and will be largely conducted using the Internet. For years between the decennial censuses, the Census Bureau issues estimates made using surveys and statistical models, in particular, the American Community Survey.
Title 13 of the United States Code governs how the Census is conducted and how its data are handled. Information is confidential as per 13 U.S.C. § 9. Refusing or neglecting to answer the census is punishable by fines of $100, for a property or business agent to fail to provide correct names for the census is punishable by fines of $500, and for a business agent to provide false answers for the census is punishable by fines of $10,000, pursuant to 13 U.S.C. § 221-224.
Why putting a citizenship question on the census is a big deal
By Catherine E. Shoichet, CNN
Updated 6:49 AM ET, Wed March 28, 2018
States decry census citizenship question
(CNN) It sounds like a small change, in a survey many people forget about minutes after they take it.
But the Trump administration's plan to put a citizenship question back on the US census is a big deal.
Even if talk about polls and statistics usually makes your eyes glaze over, here's why you should pay attention:
The census isn't just an academic exercise. It's the basis for deciding the number of representatives each state gets in Congress and how billions of dollars in federal funds are distributed.
Monday's announcement by the Commerce Department marked the beginning of what's likely to be a lengthy battle in the political arena and in court. California has already filed a legal challenge, and other states and civil rights groups have also threatened to sue.
Here's a look at the issues at play — and what's at stake:
Why is this coming up now?
The Justice Department asked officials to add the citizenship question, saying it needed better data on the voting age population to help enforce the Voting Rights Act. In a memo Monday, Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, whose department runs the census, said he was granting the Justice Department's request.
Supporters say this is a common-sense question that simply makes sense to ask.
Critics argue that the Justice Department has other ways to get citizenship data without interfering with the census. They say the change is a political decision aimed at shifting the balance of power — and that it's no coincidence administration officials made the push to add a question that runs the risk of significantly undercounting immigrant, minority and low-income populations.
What exactly are critics concerned about?
Advocates fear that when undocumented immigrants or people in immigrant families receive the census form in the mail, the citizenship question will stop them from completing and returning it.
Immigrant rights groups say this couldn't come at a worse time, as many in immigrant communities are already losing trust in officials and afraid to answer their doors.
"In the past, the census would always make a big effort to tell people that they don't share their information with other government agencies. I think that's something people will not take too seriously this time," said William Frey, a demographer and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
Citizenship question: political power shift? 05:24
Demographers and other experts — including several former directors of the census — have warned that adding a citizenship question could result in reduced response rates and inaccurate answers.
In his memo outlining the decision, Ross said he'd weighed concerns about an undercount, but didn't see enough evidence showing that the citizenship question would materially decrease response rates.
"I find that the need for accurate citizenship data and the limited burden that the reinstatement of the citizenship question would impose outweigh fears about a potentially lower response rate," he wrote.
Who is the census supposed to count?
The decennial census is supposed to count everyone who lives in the United States, whether or not they are citizens.
That data is used to calculate all sorts of things, including the number of representatives each state gets in Congress, the number of votes each state gets in the Electoral College and the amount of federal funding local governments get for programs like Medicaid, Head Start and the National School Lunch Program.
Are certain geographic areas more likely to lose representatives in Congress or federal funding?
The 2020 census is still years away. And it's too soon to say for certain how things will play out.
But if response rates drop significantly, some states could find themselves losing a House seat or federal funding.
Blue states are far more likely to lose money and power over Census citizenship question
States with large immigrant populations like Texas, California, Florida, New Jersey, New York and Illinois could be affected, Frey said.
But it's important to note that population trends have shifted in recent years beyond these traditional gateways. Significant growth in immigrant populations has occurred largely in the Southeast, from small towns in rural communities to bigger cities like Charlotte, North Carolina, and Atlanta.
States like Georgia and North Carolina could see an impact, too, Frey said.
What are the political implications of this?
Even before the Commerce Department's announcement, the 2020 census was becoming a political flashpoint.
President Trump's re-election campaign sent an email to supporters last week, endorsing the idea of adding a citizenship question and slamming opponents of the move.
"The President wants the 2020 United States census to ask people whether or not they are citizens. In another era, this would be COMMON SENSE … but 19 attorneys general said they will fight the President if he dares to ask people if they are citizens. The President wants to know if you're on his side," the email said.
Democratic lawmakers fired back on Tuesday, slamming the administration.
"Trump is worried about losing power so he's trying to take ours away," California Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard said on Twitter.
Hasn't this question been on the census before?
Yes, but not since 1950.
For years, however, it has appeared on the American Community Survey, an ongoing sample survey conducted by the Census Bureau.
It's no surprise to see census questions shifting with the times, said Margo J. Anderson, a professor of history at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.
"It was a big deal to ask if someone had a radio in 1930. In 1940, not so much," she said.
Citizenship questions were regularly on the census until 1950. In 1960, they were removed from the list.
"Lots of questions go off the census when they're not very important anymore," Anderson said. "In 1960, we had essentially had very low levels of immigration for 30-35 years. … There weren't very many new immigrants coming. When you started collecting the data, there wasn't much to find out."
A citizenship question reappeared in 1970 on the long-form questionnaire sent to a sample of households at the time.
"We passed major new immigration legislation in 1965, and so the question became relevant again," Anderson said.
It remained on subsequent long-form questionnaires until they were discontinued after 2000. It became part of the American Community Survey, which the Census Bureau began using to collect more detailed household data in 2005.
So is this a done deal?
California sues over Census citizenship question
The state of California immediately challenged the plan, filing a lawsuit in federal court on Tuesday. Former Obama administration Attorney General Eric Holder also blasted the move and said his organization, which focuses on voting enfranchisement and redistricting, would also pursue litigation against what he called an "irresponsible decision."
And some Democratic lawmakers are also trying to block the move in Congress.
This much is clear: With immigration increasingly a political flashpoint and midterm elections looming, debate about this controversial census question is just beginning.

CENSUSCITIZEN QUESTION
FOO = FACEBOOK
March 28, 2018 thenewbostonteaparty 1,812 Comments
(click)Controversy continues to swirl around how the consulting firm Cambridge Analytica obtained personal data from over 50 million Facebook users without their knowledge and used it to target ads to individuals in an effort to help Donald Trump be elected president in 2016.
But a more serious case of apparent misconduct involves Facebook data going to a different presidential campaign – this time in 2012. In this case, which is getting far less attention, Facebook reportedly voluntarily provided data on millions of its users to the re-election campaign of President Obama.
If true, such action by Facebook may constitute a major violation of federal campaign finance law as an illegal corporate campaign contribution. The matter should be investigated by the Federal Election Commission – an agency I am quite familiar with, because I served as one of its commissioners from 2006 to 2007. The commission enforces campaign finance laws for congressional and presidential elections.
A federal law bans corporations from making "direct or indirect" contributions to federal candidates. That ban extends beyond cash contributions to "any services, or anything of value." In other words, corporations cannot provide federal candidates with free services of any kind. Under the Federal Election Commission's regulations, "anything of value" includes any "in-kind contribution."
Whether or not the Obama campaign and Facebook violated this ban is an open question. It should be investigated by the Federal Election Commission and potentially the U.S. Department of Justice.
For example, if a corporation decided to offer a presidential candidate free office space, that would violate federal law. Corporations can certainly offer their services, including office space, to federal campaigns. But the campaigns are required to pay the fair market value for such services or rental properties.
According to Carol Davidsen, the former media director for Obama for America, Facebook gave the 2012 Obama campaign direct access to the personal data of Facebook users in violation of its internal rules, making a special exception for the campaign. The Daily Mail, a British newspaper, reported that Davidsen said on Twitter March 18 that Facebook employees came to the campaign office and "were very candid that they allowed us to do things they wouldn't have allowed someone else to do because they were on our side."
The type of data that the Obama campaign was mining from Facebook is a more sophisticated version of the type of data that has long been provided by professional direct mail marketers – something pioneered by Richard Viguerie. Viguerie, for example, has detailed personal data on "12 million conservative donors and activists" to whom his company sends letters and emails on behalf of his clients. He provides information to campaigns looking for votes and money, and to nonprofit and advocacy organizations raising funds.
Political campaigns must pay for these services. Under a Federal Election Commission regulation, giving a mailing list or something similar to a campaign is considered an "in-kind contribution."
So if Facebook gave the Obama campaign free access to this type of data when it normally does not do so for other entities – or usually charges for such access – then Facebook would appear to have violated the federal ban on in-kind contributions by a corporation. And the Obama campaign may have violated the law by accepting such a corporate contribution.
What about the story currently in the news about Cambridge Analytica using Facebook data for the Trump campaign? The important legal distinction may be in the way the data were obtained. Fox News reported that the Trump campaign hired Cambridge Analytica to do political research on voters and reportedly to "help the campaign target specific voters with ads and stories."
The real controversy now involving the Trump campaign deals with exactly how Cambridge Analytica obtained the data it used for the campaign. A CNBC report says that Cambridge Analytica bought the data from Aleksandr Kogan and his company, Global Science Research, which obtained the data through an app and a psychological test taken by Facebook users.
The amounts paid by the Trump campaign to Cambridge Analytica for its services – and the use of the Facebook data – are listed in its spending reports filed with the Federal Election Commission. This proves that the Trump campaign paid for services in the same way that campaigns routinely hire and pay direct mail marketers. So the Trump campaign did not get an illegal corporate contribution from Cambridge Analytica or Facebook when it received free access to very valuable data.
Whether or not Global Science Research and Cambridge Analytica violated any Facebook rules regarding this data is not the responsibility of the Trump campaign. From the standpoint of federal campaign finance law, the Trump campaign met its obligation to pay for and report this spending and did not violate the ban on corporate contributions.
However, whether or not the Obama campaign and Facebook violated this ban is an open question. It should be investigated by the Federal Election Commission and potentially the U.S. Department of Justice. The commission handles most routine violations of the law, which are civil matters. The Justice Department is responsible for investigating knowingand intentional violations of the law, which are criminal matters.
Although the statute of limitations may have already run out on this conduct by the Obama campaign, one thing seems certain: Carol Davidsen's admissions should provide a sufficient basis for opening a federal investigation of what may have been a serious violation of the law by the Obama campaign.

CHINA WINS 51 to 49 – HOW WE CAN STOP THEM BY TURNING THE TABLES
March 25, 2018 thenewbostonteaparty 80 Comments
President Trump has engaged China in battle; no more patsy U.S, we now will play by our rules. Like it or not they have no choice. Behind the scenes fisticuffs, bare knuckle Asian martial arts will occur. But don't sell Trump short on this pugilistic octagon rumble, he is no Clinton, Bush, Obama, the patsies of old relinquished our technology to the enemy – for WHAT? Corporate America wanted to expand, they wanted to make more money and they knew that China was ripe for the taking; or were they? We find out decades later that the Chinese played the game of Three-card Monte expertly. Shells, cards or marbles whatever the game was it was fixed from the beginning. China said take it or leave it; 51 to us 49 to you. Technology poured in like the icon waters of the Yangtze. Their ability enhanced to such a degree they now threaten America with inovation.
In the mean time we racked up trillions of dollars of debt buying Chinese products. They converted this windfall purhasing companies worldwide. Technology, manufacturing, software, biotech, oil and mining were not unscathed. Their hand reached into Latin America and Africa. Their thirst to become a world wide leader in all aspects by 2035 has them driven. Hegemony in shipping lanes, contested islands and seas without contestation manifests their ability to threaten the free world. Who will stand up to the Chinese Dragon?
But a view from afar is it possible that we hold the cards? When an entity owes the bank $100, the bank owns the entity, but when an entity owes the bank a $1,000,000,000 the entity now owns the bank. Getting in too deep in the borrowers side can have unintended consequence. We shall see if the United States plays hardball in the tariff arena.
Our suggestion to address the Chinese threat is simple. Notify China that imports into the United States will be halted immediately. Repercussions yes? This will cause chaos in the China workspace. Three hundred fifty million people will be out of work. They will not be happy campers, but will be dragons out for vengeance. What could China do? Threaten us, with what? They have a trillion or two in treasury bills, so what. Paper, is all it is; paper tiger holding paper. Revolution will ensue, workers of the China hinterland world will unite. Leaders will be targeted. No Tienanmen Square here – this will be the Peoples Army taking to the street seeking blood. And blood it will be for the Commies. Will it happen? Time will tell.
China leadership mostly never takes a calculated risk, their adventures are planned decades ahead. Case in point, Boeing made a deal with the Chinese devil transferring jet engine technology and trade secrets to the Chinese. And now China is building civilian aircraft to compete with China. They also have prototype F-35 to challenge us in the skies. This is no checker game, it is for real. And the controversy continues as the United States is set to sell and transfer nuclear reactors along with technology to suppress submarine detection. This vividly brings to mind the iconic saying by Vladimir Lenin, "The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them." Lenin was most prescient.
Over the years we have bought Chinese made products manufactured by slave labor thereby transferring trillions of dollars to China. In turn they have purchased manufacturing firms, oil companies, mining companies, software-computer companies and technology. Their industrial espionage is well known . On their way to equivalency in many industries China now is an existential threat to the United States and its neighbors. Take the most recent Spratly Island dispute for evidence of such.
Where do we stand now? China has amassed one trillion in U.S treasury bills. Their present currency reserves top three billion. Trump has continue to criticize China for currency manipulation. Actually the are not currency manipulators. He is mistaken.
What China actually has done is to enslave 350 million people over the years (the early stage of the accumulation process) producing products for export – mostly to the United States. These employees effectively were slaves. As stated above, China amassed billions of dollars through this paradigm. Then with the haul in hand they bought worldwide companies with the loot; companies such as those involved in manufacturing, technology, mining, oil, pharmaceutical and retail.
A very simple solution to solve our China problem. China demands that if American companies want to do business in China they have to partner with a Chinese company to enter the market; in most cases our companies are minority players owning 49% of the enterprise.Trump has to read China the riot act. How will that work? We no longer will take it the 49% deal; it is 100 or nothing.
It is time for us to tell them point blank: we demand that our companies be allowed to own 100% and be able to repatriate their profits, if not we have an alternative. No more Chinese imports into the United States will be allowed from China starting tomorrow.
The fallout here will be the same as if a nuclear bomb hit China. Mass layoffs will challenge the leaders. Revolution will ensue. We don't think the Chinese leadership wants to see this happen.
CHINA SYNDROME BY MICHAEL OBERNDORF
Posted on October 6, 2015 by thenewbostonteaparty
China? CHECK THE LAST TWO PARAGRAPHS
I have been spending time in Hong Kong this past year, and recently took a short trip into China proper. Several things struck me as being not at all what I expected, in both places. Not surprising, though, given the Ministry of Propaganda, aka, the "mainstream" media, filtering of what we are allowed to hear about. The skewed, leftist-agenda driven misinformation and downright lies that they spew out daily rarely paint a picture of what the world is actually like. Thus, I thought I would share some of my personal observations that if skewed, are skewed in the direction of proudly-American patriotic conservatism.
Hong Kong was taken as a colony by the British in 1841, as part of a treaty ending a brief war over opium. Over time, it became a great Asian commercial center and lots of people got very rich there, including many Chinese. In 1992, Hong Kong was returned to China by the British who were definitely watching the sun set on their former empire, and on their standing as a first tier nation.
However, rather than imposing the idiotic central planning that communists are infamous for, the ChiComs allowed business to continue pretty much as usual: largely unregulated and untaxed. As a result, Hong Kong continued to prosper, bringing huge amounts of capital and trade to, and through, it. I saw more Ferraris in 10 days last winter than I had seen in the previous 10 years in the US. Unemployment appears to be minimal. The parks have only retired people, not the jobless, in them, and the homeless are very hard to find. Poverty seems darn near non-existent, and, unlike America's Democrat-run cities, it's safe and clean. It reminds me of what America was like back when I was growing up, in the 1950s and early '60s. And though they have experienced some recent unrest among the Chinese residents regarding the local political process, international business – the source of Hong Kong's fabulous wealth – has been mostly unaffected. This, of course, may change, but for the more or less immediate future, Hong Kong will likely maintain its #1 ranking as the most free place for doing business in the world. The USA, by the way, under Obozo and his Merry RINOs, has sunk to #17.
China proper, too, had some surprises. When I crossed the border into Shenzhen – Hong Kong and the New Territories are not part of the Mainland and you have to have a visa to cross from them into China – I expected there to be a big change from booming Hong Kong. Instead, it looked very much the same – well dressed (often expensively) people, lots of luxury cars, but with China license plates, lots of big construction projects, and so on. Unlike our border with Mexico, where the poverty, crime, filth, and pollution are a stark contrast, Shenzhen clearly has benefited from its proximity to the epitome of free enterprise. But while Shenzhen was similar to Hong Kong, there were recognizable differences.
One of the first things I noticed on the cab ride from the crossing to my hotel – a marvelous Crowne Plaza – was that there were, what were clearly homeless wino-types, sleeping in the parks. These people are not supposed to exist in Mao's worker's paradise, but they do indeed, though not in great numbers. I wonder how they have managed to stay out of sight of the all-seeing eye of the People's Police. And this relates somewhat to another Chinese anomaly – ghost cities and unfinished housing.
The Ministry of Propaganda has mentioned ghost cities, but mostly as curiosities, with little or no serious analysis. These cities are complete, with wonderful housing and shopping malls, but no more than 10% occupancy in any of them. And out in the smaller cities and towns and the countryside, I saw hundreds of relatively new three and four story western-style buildings, constructed to the point of just needing finishing – wall and ceiling finish, window glass, etc. – and then apparently left to sit, some obviously for more than just a few months. So, with all this vacant, potentially occupiable housing, why are there still homeless on the streets? And who is supposed to fill it all, since other than the handful of homeless, everyone seemed to have places to live?
What this suggests to me is that all these are make-work projects, to keep people busy, who would otherwise be idle, and thus, potential trouble-makers, but producing nothing of real value to the country. Indeed, I saw lots of idle workers, sitting around day after day, playing cards (gambling! shocking!) apparently victims of government dictating which businesses operate when. While it is always possible that there is some brilliant central master plan behind all this, it sure isn't obvious, and instead hints at endemic systemic problems for which they are unsuccessfully groping for a solution.
Add to this the obvious popularity of Western Culture, and China becomes less of a stable, monolithic, communist state than we are led to believe it is. Virtually no one wears traditional Chinese clothes, except a few ethnic minorities in very rural areas of southwest China, and it is not unusual to see spiked, blue/green/red hairdos. Western music is everywhere, and television and advertising are clearly modeled after ours and Europe's. This embracing of Western, non-Chinese culture hints at the adoption of Western values, sooner or later, and may be a major factor in the increasing crackdown on internal dissent. Interesting times, indeed!

TRUMP APPOINTS A GUIDED MISSILE – JOHN BOLT-ON
Ambassador John Bolton heads to the White House as National Security Advisor A game changer, familiar with navigating the swamp and with vast experience in wading through the bureaucratic matrix. When it come to dealing with rouge regimes Mr Bolton is our guy. He now works for a man who shares the same philosophy first hand. Rogue states ruled by so-called leaders for life, such as XI and Rocket Man will now face off with an equal. John Bolton is a neocon; a no nonsense guy when it comes to dictators.
The pundits are aroused, their blood boiling because they see "war" coming into focus. We tell them that war is what is needed. Trade war with China on the horizon, but a down and out brouhaha is a given. Blowing North Korea to smithereens will send them back to the stone age. Then they will understand what happens to blowhards. There will be no more future threats from Rocket Guy. If they even consider transferring any technology or giving assistance to trouble makers in the Middle East it will be our duty to neutralize the individuals. Muammar Ghaddafi can attest to that.
From Sputnik News:
With John Bolton's appointment as Trump's new national security adviser, the circle closes on any remaining hope of the 45th President of the United States embarking on a different course from every other president that has preceded him in the Oval Office in recent years, when it comes to foreign policy.
A devoted disciple of the (click) 'bomb them to hell and ask questions later' school of US politics, Bolton's hawkish foreign policy credentials are so extreme he makes John McCain seem like Bambi by comparison.

UNDER THE RADAR – THE HIDDEN AGENDA
The uninitiated haven't heard of the covert plan by the government to euthanize Americans ability to think. Yes, this is happening right under your nose. This stealth network has been in force for decades, but now, because of technology it is more deadly. There is talk of the dangers of cell phones; yes cell phones are frying our brains, promoting cancer cells to tumor. Studies you say, but no proof. Proof is there, but not revealed. Remember cigarettes, the cancer stick? Any link to cancer was denied for decades. How about Area 51, the clandestine base hidden from the ordinary. Does evidence of UFO's exist there? Will we ever know?
Who can forget the General Motors cover-up. Yeah their ignition switch denial. These faulty switches caused vehicles to lose power and shut off. Drivers lost control, hence their vehicles were involved in a mishap, but without power the airbags didn't inflate resulting in death and injury. Were owners notified of this safety issue? NO! For a decade this calamity was hidden in the bowels of GM until a savvy attorney demanded answers.
The defect was not disclosed by GM nor was it discovered by government regulators or transportation safety agencies. Instead, public knowledge came about because Lance Cooper, a Marietta, Georgia attorney who sued GM on behalf of the family of a woman who had died in a crash, obtained thousands of pages of documents from GM and took the depositions of several GM engineers. According to Sean Kane, the president of a vehicle safety research firm, Cooper "single-handedly set the stage for this recall.
The result, six million vehicles were recalled costing GM a billion dollars. However, money could not replace the lives of the 121 people who perished and thousands of injuries that resulted. This takes us back to the sixties in by Ralph Nader. Unsafe at Any Speed: The Designed-In Dangers of the American Automobile by Ralph Nader, published in 1965, is a book accusing car manufacturers of resistance to the introduction of safety features such as seat belts, and their general reluctance to spend money on improving safety. It was a pioneering work containing substantial references and material from industry insiders. It was a best seller in non-fiction in 1966.
What we learned from these examples is to be skeptical of the BIG, either pharmaceutical, automobile, manufacturing or energy. Their ultimate objective is convince you of their doing good, of them being a Good Corporate Citizen. But we remind you that they always have an exterior motive.

The book explains how scientific brainwashing is done, and argues that "hardly anyone can resist such." "Fear, and continual pressure are known to create a menticidal hypnosis. The conscious part of the personality no longer takes part in the automatic confessions. The brainwashee lives in a trance, repeating the record grooved into him by somebody else."
Like their totalitarian counterparts, democratic societies are subject to the insidious influences of mind control. Such influences surround the citizens of free societies, "both on a political and a nonpolitical level and they become as dangerous to the free way of life as are the aggressive totalitarian governments themselves." People must guard against the creeping intrusion into their minds by technology, bureaucracy, prejudice, and mass delusion.
Declassified MKUltra documents
Project MKUltra, also called the CIA mind control program, is the code name given to a program of experiments on human subjects that were designed and undertaken by the United States Central Intelligence Agency—and which were illegal at times. Experiments on humans were intended to identify and develop drugs and procedures to be used in interrogations in order to weaken the individual and force confessions through mind control. The project was organized through the Office of Scientific Intelligence of the CIA and coordinated with the U.S. Army Biological Warfare Laboratories.
The project attempted to produce a perfect truth drug for interrogating suspected Soviet spies during the Cold War, and to explore other possibilities of mind control. Subproject 54 was another MKUltra effort and was the Navy's top secret "Perfect Concussion" program, which was supposed to use sub-aural frequency blasts to erase memory. However, the program was never carried out.[23]
Most MKUltra records were destroyed in 1973 by order of CIA director Richard Helms, so it has been difficult for investigators to gain a complete understanding of more than 150 funded research sub-projects sponsored by MKUltra and related CIA programs

DIARRHEA POURS FROM HILLARY CLINTON'S MOUTH – JAIL THE BIRD
March 18, 2018 thenewbostonteaparty 6 Comments
Hillary Clinton can'g stop debasing the American voter. Her latest trope centers on "white women" who lacked the intestinal fortitude to vote for her. Her claim that these white women voters were under the control of their husbands or significant others when it came to voting. Problem with Hillary Clinton was that she could not accept the truth. White women didn't voter for her because she was a cheatin, lyin, scammin slut. Several Democrats have distanced themselves from Clinton, but the truth be told, these same Democrats supported her throughout her career; these are the same people who kissed up to Harvey Weinstein.
Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, the Senate's No. 2 Democrat and loyal Hillary Clinton supporter, said Sunday that the party's 2016 presidential nominee's recent comments regarding American voters, President Trump and her failed White House bid were "wrong" and "not helpful."
It would take a decade to detail the devious crimes she has committed since entering the political theater. This power hungry b….h repeated what she had sowed. How she has escaped the iron bar motel is beyond belief. Her criminal activity was well known, her lies bigger than the Grand Canyon and most of all she was responsible for the murder of four of our Guys in Benghazi; having lied about the reason for the embassy attack.
Our country will not rest until Hillary Clinton is finally brought to justice under the RICO act. The time is now for Jeff Sessions to grow a pair. Justice now, we want justice now.
PROSECUTE THE HILLARY CLINTON CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE UNDER RICO
Racketeer Influenced And Corrupt Organizations Act (Rico)A federal law, passed in 1970, that allows prosecution and civil penalties for certain acts (including illegal gambling, bribery, kidnapping, murder, and money laundering) performed as part of an ongoing criminal enterprise. RICO has been used to prosecute members of the mafia, the Hells Angels motorcycle gang, and Operation Rescue, an anti-abortion group, among others.
The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly referred to as the RICO Act or simply RICO, is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization. The RICO Act focuses specifically onracketeering, and it allows the leaders of a syndicate to be tried for the crimes which they orderedothers to door assisted them, closing a perceived loophole that allowed a person who instructed someone else to, for example, murder, to be exempt from the trial because he did not actually commit the crime personally
Spying on America!
Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul on Sunday blasted former CIA Director John Brennan for suggesting that President Trump will be remembered as a "disgraced demagogue," saying that Brennan spying on Americans while running the agency was disgraceful.
"This man had the power to search every American's records without a warrant," Paul tweeted Sunday. "What's disgraceful is attacking the Bill of Rights and the freedom of every American."

INCEST AT THE FBI – FIRE MUELLER
Been going for years – FBI Democrat phalanx embedded at the highest level of government have an Omerta , the silent code about criminal activity and a refusal to give evidence to authorities which will expose the their mission. What was their mission? It was to stop at all costs an external threat which would expose their incestual relationship with the Democrat machine. This was manifested in the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton and her conspiracy cronies. No records of those interviewed have been kept, no affidavits and computer/phone evidence destroyed.
The code began in Sicily around the 16th Century A.D. as a way of opposing Spanish rule. The continuous invasions left the Sicilians with feeling of helplessness, mistrust and rage at the government. They believed that the government was there not to help them out, but to make things even more difficult. As a result, the Mafia's golden rule of Omerta was born. It became an unwritten law to keep the government out of their private affairs. Crimes began to be considered personal and justice was received through personal vengeance and vendetta, not by the decision of the government.
So here we have it, the silent code practiced by the top officials of government. All departments from the executive branch to the legislative to the judicial have a surreptitious mission to undermine the Constitution by continuing to take down anyone who interferes with their efforts. One of their prime weapons has been leaks to the media.
However, this Omerta thing was exposed by the election of Donald J. Trump. He presents a clear and present danger to the status quo of government institutions controlled by the progressive hierarchy. This is the reason for the Mueller probe. He is digging deeper and deeper to find a violation of law or some we bit of nothing to taint Trump's collusion with the Russians using a fake dossier to continue his quest of taking down Trump.
Tell you what folks this Mueller has already spent $50 million in the past year and a half with nothing to show for it. Time for him to stop the taunting, fabricating and ruining lives of innocent citizens including the President of the United States. Fire Mueller now; he has gone overboard.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "The Mueller probe should never have been started in that there was no collusion and there was no crime. It was based on fraudulent activities and a Fake Dossier paid for by Crooked Hillary and the DNC, and improperly used in FISA COURT for surveillance of my campaign. WITCH HUNT!"
WE WANT JUSTICE, INVESTIGATE HILLARY CLINTON NOW. WHY IS SHE AND ABEDIN NOT IN JAIL? THAT IS THE QUESTION.

HAMMER DOWN – DRAINING THE SWAMP
The lying cheat finally got what he deserved – JUSTICE! Attorney General Session dropped the hammer down on McCabe. McCabe, a former acting FBI director, was fired Friday night after multiple federal probes and reports showed that he lied to investigators reviewing the bureau's probe into whether Hillary Clinton sent and received classified information on private email servers while secretary of state.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions said he officially fired McCabe after receiving a report from the Inspector General, the findings from the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility and the recommendation of the Justice Department's senior career official. He said the firing was based on Justice Department procedure.

Andrew McCabe FIRED, a great day for the hard working men and women of the FBI – A great day for Democracy. Sanctimonious James Comey was his boss and made McCabe look like a choirboy. He knew all about the lies and corruption going on at the highest levels of the FBI!

We congratulate the Attorney General for bringing the hammer down on a low life cheat and criminal at that.
Republicans have long criticized McCabe for his ties to the Democratic Party — his wife received donations during a failed 2015 Virginia Senate run from a group tied to a Clinton ally, former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe — all while the Clinton email probe was underway.
McCabe returned to the spotlight when Republicans on the House Intelligence committee released its memo on Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuses in connection with the Russia probe, saying that McCabe signed a FISA warrant targeting former Trump campaign volunteer adviser Carter Page.

HILLARY DUMPTY SAT ON A WALL – HILLARY DUMPTY HAD A GREAT FALL
Hillaryy Dumpty sat on a wall,
Hillary Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Hillary Dumpty together again.
It couldn't get better than this. Once again we have seen Hillary Dumpty suffer a dizzy spell; this time in the bathtub. Now it becomes apparent that she finally has lost touch with her senses. Suffering dizzy spells is common for people who have Parkinsons type afflictions.
The time has come for Hillary Dumpty to own up to her malady. Just a day ago she fell twice on a staircase, only to be saved by the two men at her side. Lucky for her – next time though the fall will be more serious. Head trauma, brain swelling and death may result.
It was not long ago where she suffered a blood clot in the brain, the result most likely of blunt trauma to the head when she fainted hitting her noggin on the ground.
Clinton's visit to India suffered another setback this week as the former secretary of state fractured her wrist after slipping in the bathtub at the five-star resort where she was staying, according to a report by DNA India.
The website reported that Clinton was taken to a hospital in the city of Jodphur at around 5 a.m. local time Wednesday. Clinton underwent an X-ray and a CT scan that confirmed a hairline fracture of her right wrist.

The football field lights blind the Mercy Varsity Dance (MVD) girls as they jog to the middle of the field. They strike their starting positions, anxiously waiting for the music to start. All eyes are on them. The first beats of the song ring through the speakers. It's go time. As spectators watch, it seems so easy for the girls to the dance in unison, hitting their moves at the perfect time, but the team has put in many hours and days of work to perfect their performance.
MVD started their season with a dance camp at Oakland Univ., spending a weekend working together, and with other dance teams to build on their skills. The camp gave the girls a great bonding opportunity and they grew very close, leading to a great start and steady foundation of the season.
During the first weeks and days working together, one thing the girls highlighted was team bonding, joining together to work towards their goals. During their team camp, the girls stayed in separate rooms but by the last day, they had become extremely close.
In August, the girls starting regular practices at Mercy, working on building choreography and working on their overall performance. Through August and Sept., the team built their choreography, creating a routine to be used throughout the season.
As Oct. and Nov. near, the nine girls on the dance team work together to critique and perfect their dances. With many big events coming up for them, they want to be able to perform to the absolute best of their ability. When they come into the gym to practice, the space is filled with hard work and good energy.
The team is performing at the Orchard Lake St. Mary's Homecoming game on Sept. 28, and has their big competition in Nov. With so many critical events coming, the team is working even harder to nail every position, every move, and every beat of their routine.
Co-captain Place and captain Avery Ellis have been working very hard to get the choreography and performance where it needs to be before their big events.

Watch: Have-a-go hero grandad tripped up armed suspect as he was chased by police
Police say he could have saved the suspect's life.
Alistair Mason
A grandfather who tripped an armed suspect as he was fleeing police has been hailed for probably saving the man's life.

The man, identified only as "Bill" by police, had just left a library in Columbus, Ohio when he saw the suspect running in his direction.
"I saw who you guys were chasing and I could see that he was holding something in his waistband while he was running from you guys, but he had a pretty good lead on your closest officer," said Bill, who walks with a cane.
"He was coming my way, so I got in his way to slow him down so you guys could get him."
Bill was hailed as an "outstanding community member" by police for his actions, adding that without his action the suspect could have been shot.
The trip caused the suspect to drop his gun, identified by police as a "Glock 9 MM pistol with a high capacity extended clip containing 29 rounds".
Footage shows officers telling the suspect: "You're lucky you dropped that gun, man. Boy, you almost got shot…I almost squeezed the trigger, man."
Columbus Police added: "Community involvement, be it by courage, bravery and/or fancy footwork, helped take a criminal off the streets of Columbus. Thank you 'Bill' for sticking your leg out for us."

A Fine Vessel She Is.
Developer(s) and Others: Arsys Software Inc.
Other Info: Another version of this game exists on the Sharp X68000. Arsys Software Inc. also was a company that was around in the late 80's and early 90's. They are now defunct. Due to the terribly confusing name, "Masaya" is also known as Mesaiya (Katakana spelling), and Masiya. There are other things the company is called, but those are the ones I feel make the most sense. I will follow the Katakana spelling for now, though you can use any of the previous names.
This is a VERY unique kind of RPG for the Sega Genesis that I never hear get mentioned. You are a soldier that travels the solar system finding new planets and making discoveries amongst the stars. You really ARE a Star Cruiser in that regard. Along with your helper robot, Freddy, you'll fight off space ships in deep space with various weaponry and once you land on a new "planet" and such, you will travel on foot...blasting anything in your path that will bring the federation closer to their goals. You will fly vast distances to reach new areas and it will appear as if there is nothing all around you.
I wanted to say that the graphics of this game are very impressive. Unfortunately, there are several reasons why I cannot do so. For starters, the 3D opening is impressive, but unless there is something that I am doing wrong, you really play the game from a first-person perspective, which potentially hampers my experience with this game. It would of been nice to see your character in the 3D world, but I suppose that's asking too much. Secondly, while the colors of the anime characters are sharp and pretty smooth for the Genesis, most of the objects (like trees) that are made up of 3D polygons look pretty terrible. Its not because they are 3D...on the contrary, its quite impressive to see 3D of this kind for an old Genny title. It's the color usage. Third, while it's awesome to "Warp" to different locations, the special effects overall are very simple and don't really do anything great. The animation is also good in some spots, but choppy in other spots. As far as the sound goes, I like the music. The sound effects are very "meh", but the music is pretty cool, though it's quite repetitive.
The gameplay is like this: Basically, you don't gain level ups. You must work to upgrade your equipment and shields (Shields act as your HP) and travel around space in order to do this. Your main place of operations starts on an orange planet of some kind (shown in an image below) and there is a mechanic who can repair your shield and restore your energy. What's with energy? You need it to travel, heal your shields, "Warp" from destination to destination, and other things. It slowly goes down and without it, you can't really do anything. As far as upgrading stuff, the game is very slow in terms of progression and the controls are rather awkward and navigating can be a pain if you don't know what you are doing. Thankfully, due to the warp system and the neat autopilot (The game makes your space craft automatically go to a set destination), this is somewhat forgivable. However, autopilot is a bit flawed because if you aren't careful, enemies will clobber you as you pass by. The game at first glance may come off as cheap and quite difficult, but once you get around the controls, it becomes a lot more bearable. With some work, this game could've rocked out loud, but due to some gameplay issues and poor color use, the game is only playable. It's a bit interesting, but probably too slow for most.

My Police Force was off today when I went to check the location it's in. Powered up and it said U25 RAM FAILURE, which is pretty lame since I just replaced that less than a year ago. Is there something that could have made it go bad so quickly? I might do NVRAM this time around.
While you are in the backbox, don't forget to add fuses to the bridge rectifiers.
Another option is to put in one of my Bridge Boards.
It will address the fire hazard problem if one of the bridge rectifiers go bad.
Just take a look on my website http://www.inkochnito.nl and click on the Bridge Board image.
This should work if you can't find one too.
Would anyone have an extra police force spinner, mine came without the whole top (DOH!) Thanks!
Just added another system 11! Up to 5 now.
This weeks project. Taking 2 and making 1.
Added RollerGames today. This one will be next weeks project. It should clean up pretty nicely.
Sign me up! Own 2, want more!
Find myself going back to the system 11 games as well. Simple fun games, that even non pin heads like.
Jokerzzzz is hands down the best bang for buck Sys11 out there. Great game.
You're catching up to me dude .. you'll need that bigger house down south you were talking about.
That is the scary thing. We are looking at land. Which means room to build an outbuilding. I guess it will have to be as long as one row for all the system 11's. Then I can just drop them in as I find them.
Being over 1/2 way feels like a feat unto itself.
Are you going for it, too? All of them?
After replacing C30 on Diner to fix my display not showing anything and causing the game not to boot, the issue is back. It's only been a few months. I ordered 5 of those caps, so I could replace it again, but could that really be the issue? Is there another part of the display reset circuit that might also need to be looked at?
I mean I love system 11's. So I might as well pursue them all........ just means I have to have titles like pool sharks & bugs bunny.

Bigs bunny is a kids game and if you look at it like that, it is what it is. I have people at my place who really like playing it.
I love millionaire. Cool layout and awesome skill shot.
"Realllllly?" Music and speech alone is classic cheese. Fun / unique game actually.
Some work went into my Jokerz this last week. Right side GI not working fixed. Left drop bank not working fixed. LED upgrade done. Upper playfield swap done. I have a couple bulbs on the upper playfield to figure out why they arent working. My Translight is super faded, and the LED's highlighted that even when using frosted LED's. I may switch the Orange flashers on the playfield to Red and Blue. The Orange looks out of place with the upper playfield flashers being Red and Blue, and the playfield not being smoke yellow/orange.
I asked this in the Jokerz thread but does someone make sling protectors for it. It seems to me those slings are in danger of damage since they hang out over the playfield. I know system 11 machines used them in a few machines so I would mind having a few sets.
Also is there a RollerGames club? I'm looking for a protector for the droptarget bank as well.
Working on a Riverboat Gambler for a friend. Started shopping and noticed I can not loosen any of the 10-15 metal screws or posts that secure starpost to the pf....I know when I first got in the hobby I tried to keep turning on a pin once and you end up snapping the post at the base and its a pain to replace. Why do these seize up? Both the ones that are a Phillips or a nut driver will not turn. Thought I read once mismatched metals can seize up. Any suggestions?
Looks like Ill have to clean posts on the pf which is not how I like to clean them.
I've had some success with using a soldering iron to heat the underside of the T-nut. Seems to break the bond.
I've taken a lot of games apart and system 11 seem to be the most problematic with this.
Broken multiples before I read about the heating suggestion.
Thx...heat the T nut, end of bolt or both?
great. sounds like my plan is set.
On Whirlwind I have been getting locked balls kicked out automatically. I asked on here and the first suggestion was to replace the 3 lock switches. I did that and played a few games without issue. On the last test game I was going to play sure enough the balls kick out. So about the same regularity prior to the new switches. It hasn't mattered if there are one or two balls locked.
I set up both 1 and 2 balls locked and triggered each switch on the rows and column that are shared with the 3 lock switches. I did this multiple times. None of them triggered it to kick out the balls. One thing to note is that when it kicks out the balls it just kicks them out. If there is one locked and I drop another into the lock area (as if the next highest switch is triggered) it will say "ball 2 locked" and then kicks out the next ball. So at this point I don't think it's a lock switch activating and causing it to kick out.
I had this happening with my Big Guns and it ended up being intermittent connections in the cabinet/backbox connector for the switch harness. It would seemingly randomly come and go and generally switch test looked totally fine.
I am looking to buy Big Guns in the near future.
I haven't seen any listings for it in awhile.
Check the wireforms for broken welds. Check the paths to the two side lock shots for wear, those are the only spots I've had wear through on mine. Also make sure it's got the little ball for the bagetelle, AFAIK there's no replacement available if it's missing.

Describe what the 3 red LEDs on the MPU are doing.
Did you replace the capacitors on the power supply?
Can you measure the voltages on the power supply?
Can you post a picture of the power supply and the MPU?
Atlantis is not a system 11, but a great pin non the less. Cool games man.
Both amazing games. Although Atlantis isnt a sys11. It's 6803. Feels like a sys11 though. And it's still a great machine.
chriss couldn't have said it better myself.
Hmm, that's some pretty good sleuthing. Can I ask what it took to fix this? Reseating the connector? Repin wires and a new header? Reflow solder?
Ok have fixed lots of pins but this is the first time that I have one that does nothing when I power on....Riverboat Gambler and it has a Rottendog PS and I am getting 12v, -12v and 100v on test points but nothing at 5v test point. Ive checked fuses with DMM and they all tone ok. What should I check next. Need to down load manual pdf which will help me see which connectors to check as well.
Reseating it in my case would fix it for a couple games but the issue always came back. I ended up repinning the whole thing.
check voltage on each side of the fuse holder. see if there is power anywhere on the line.
Just my mind rambling but how long will these system 11 games will be desirable before they drop off like the EM machines have?
And guesses.. 15 years maybe?
I'm certain it has a system 11 sound board though. May be why people think it's a system 11.
Did EMs ever have a "drop off?" They were cheap 10 years ago and are slightly less cheap now. What am I missing?
My prediction: all pins will eventually drop off in price, but it won't be for a long time and not until the current generation who grew up with them dies off and the Millennials take over. We'll be pretty much FUBARed by then anyway, so pins will be the least of our concerns.
