There are two wonderful women who would serve as inspirations at the Inaugural.

Meet Reverend Detherage. She works diligently within the doctrine of AME. She focuses on justice, the legal standing of women and seeks solice in ministry with prison populations.

Rev. Kimberly L. Detherage is an itinerant elder in the African Methodist Episcopal Church and the Pastor of St. Mark A.M.E. Church, Jackson Heights, New York.   

Prior to being appointed to St. Mark she served as Pastor of Bright Temple A.M.E. Church, Bronx, New York and Bethel A.M.E. Church , Arverne, New York.   Before being appointed to Pastor Bethel Rev. Kim served as the Minister to young Adults and Minister to Youth at  Bridge Street, A.W.M.E. church, Brooklyn, New York.  For 15 years. Rev. Kim owned her own law firm and has been engaged in the practice of law for over 20 years.  Rev. Kim serves as a Board member on the First Episcopal District Self Help Board, an Instructor for the Ministerial Institute, and also serves on the New York Conference Board of Trustees, Board of Examiners and previously served on the Ministerial Efficiency Committee. She co-authored the legislation on clergy and lay sexual misconduct which can be found in the Book of Discipline of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, has provided extensive training on the Church’s Sexual Misconduct Policy and conducted workshops on a variety of issues. Rev. Kim received her BA in Speech Communications and her Juris Doctor degree from Boston College in 1982 and 1985 respectively.  In 1996, she received her Master of Divinity Degree from Candler School of Theology at Emory University with certificates in Black Church Studies and Women’s Studies.  In 1997, she completed a program of studies in Clinical Pastoral Education with Emory University Health System.  

Rev. Kim is excited about the future direction of AME/WIM and looks forward to the strengthening  the internal and external structure of the organization.  With the support of the Executive Board, District Presidents, Coordinators and all women in ministry we can make a difference, and set a standard for the church at large.   Our mission this quadrennium is to honor the legacy of Jarena Lee and trailblazing women past and present by defining, supporting and expanding the presence of women in ministry and the AME church.

Michael Savage Agrees w/ Justice Scalia on Gun Restriction - 7/30/12

Joe, we need gun control not more of the same.

I realize a democracy demands a record and detail to circumstances for legislation, but, the testimony for gun control is reasonable, the testimony for otherwise is extreme. We need to stop this ever growing danger in our country.

There is going to be weather problems in the USA today.

The temperatures are drastically different in minor changes in longitude across the country.

The systems are high velocity and moving very quickly if one observes the 12 hour loop.

Just as a point of interest, the Intertropical Convergence Zone is gaining some water vapor simply because there is now a tropical storm off the northwest shoreline of Australia. The storm will drive the heat into the ocean to cool the troposphere. What is alarming about this storm is the fact water vapor from the tropics was required to bring about development of the vorticity. That is new and it is still more proof of the ever growing dangers of the Climate Crisis. Earth is headed in the wrong direction and its residents has to stop polluting the air mass surrounding this planet.

UNISYS North and West Hemisphere Water Vapor Satellite (click here for 12 hour loop - thank you)

The first clue that lead to an investigation of Australia yesterday was the severe border of the air mass in the lower left corner of the satellite picture on the 9th. The border was too defined and demanded attention to detail. The water vapor content was off. Honest, it is what brought my attention to the southern hemisphere.

UNISYS North and West Hemisphere Water Vapor Satellite

The vorticity at the southern border of Greenland is gone in the January 10 satellite above. That has translated into higher energy to the system closer to the Equator as the water vapor begins to be re-established. The rapid transport of energy into the equatorial region with the return of water vapor is driving the severe weather in the USA today. The system was established yesterday, but, it lacked the heat containing water vapor to drive higher energy into the system.

The most severe example of radical temperature differences in minor changes in longitude is noted in... 







10 F near Grand Junction, Colorado 
(Longitude 108° 33' 0" W ),
 and 

56 F near Dallas, Texas 

(Longitude 96°48′W). 

That dynamic is going to cause problems today. The systems are moving and changing quickly.

There is approximately 1000 miles between those two cities, but, on a planetary scale with a fast moving troposphere, 1000 miles is nothing.

The added water vapor near the Australian continent moved the Cyclone system to a higher vorticity and provided for a storm that will move heat to the ocean.

January 10, 2013
1118 gmt
The Weather Channel Australia Satellite

Besides the cyclone in the northwest, there is higher water vapor over the southeast and near Brisbane. That water vapor now present in the southeast comes from the Antarctica system and is contributing to the velocity of the cyclone now that wasn't occurring yesterday. The dynamics of the water vapor supply to the cyclone is different and removes the need for equatorial water vapor. There was a change in temperature over Antarctica yesterday as this was occurring.

The Intertropical Convergence Zone will recover, but, the water vapor lent to Australia will not simply return to the Equator. The ICZ needs to 'rebuild' the water vapor from available resources there. During the time there is a drier troposphere there is damage to the carbon sinks and capacity for CO2 absorption of these areas will be reduced. 

All this loss of carbon sink capacity adds up and increases to the heat within Earth's troposphere. The changes are incremental, but, it is on a path of increase and not a RETURN to a normal biotic and flourishing troposphere.

The loss of biotic content of Earth is exponential occurring at every corner of the globe. These are highly complicated systems and the unwinding of their complexity to cause a homogeneous and hot global desert takes time. Governments are playing with a timeline set to continue to limit the ability of Earth to support life at 98.6. Get over it, already!

Appoint Barney Frank as Interim Senator for Massachusetts.

There really isn't anyone else prepared to take on the Senate seat vacated by Senator Kerry for the 3 months until an election is held.

Massachusetts needs someone who already knows the issues, not someone who is a quick study of them.

Governor Patrick is a busy man. He is seeking to end abuse of any municipal unemployment in Massachusetts, while freezing unemployment insurance contribution rates by employers, he is seeking a dam safety bill, has just sworn in a new member of the LGBT Board and some of his most important focus is a Compounding Pharmacy Industry reform bill. 

But,in all his work, I sincerely hope he sees the Interim Senator in the serious light it should be viewed. Former House Representative Frank may have retired in time to serve the country this one more time in a vital absence created by John Kerry moving to the President's Cabinet.

There are many important votes coming up in the next three months. Considering we are all hoping Rep. Markey is elected to the USA Senate it is only best and correct to place someone in the Interim Senator seat who knows the issues at hand and agrees with the vote Representative Markey would make.

Rep. Markey would be a wonderful Senator and one Massachusetts could count on and be proud of. He today has sent recommendations to Vice President Biden regarding a federal bill on gun control.

There are many in Massachusetts and the country that would like Governor Patrick to place Retired Representative Frank to the Interim Senate seat. He sincerely is learned about the issues at hand and could vote tomorrow if necessary without doing any research or making in roads. If Barney looks bored, it is probably because there isn't much anyone can tell him about the issue at hand.

Thank you, Governor Patrick.

It is called corruption, not politics.

Florida List for Purge of Voters Proves Flawed (click here)

By FORD FESSENDEN

Published: July 10, 2004

Florida election officials used a flawed method to come up with a listing of people believed to be convicted felons, a list that they are recommending be used to purge voter registration rolls, state officials acknowledged yesterday. As a result, voters identifying themselves as Hispanic are almost completely absent from that list.

Of nearly 48,000 Florida residents on the felon list, only 61 are Hispanic. By contrast, more than 22,000 are African-American.

About 8 percent of Florida voters describe themselves as Hispanic, and about 11 percent as black.

In a presidential-election battleground state that decided the 2000 race by giving George W. Bush a margin of only 537 votes, the effect could be significant: black voters are overwhelmingly Democratic, while Hispanics in Florida tend to vote Republican.

Elections officials of Florida's Republican administration denied any partisan motive in use of the method they adopted, and noted that it had been approved as part of a settlement of a civil rights lawsuit.

Secretary of State Katherine Harris hired a firm to vet the rolls for felons, but that may have wrongly kept thousands, particularly blacks, from casting ballots. (click here)

BY GREGORY PALAST

...Early in the year, the company, ChoicePoint, gave Florida officials a list with the names of 8,000 ex-felons to “scrub” from their list of voters. But it turns out none on the list were guilty of felonies, only misdemeanors. The company acknowledged the error, and blamed it on the original source of the list — the state of Texas....

And whom was Governor of Texas before being president?

Bill Nelson compares Rick Scott's voter purge with a 2000 attempt (click here)

Bill Nelson on Tuesday, May 29th, 2012 in letter to Gov. Rick Scott
...He warned Scott about repeating the ordeal in a May 29, 2012, letter."In the 2000 Florida election, at least 1,100 eligible voters were wrongly dropped from voting rolls in an attempt to purge a list of felons," Nelson wrote. "Many of those who were dropped showed up to vote and were told they could not. And in a presidential election decided by 537 votes, that erroneous purge may have been a factor."...

Congratulations, Governor Christie.

I like the guy. He is honest. Governor Christie is a mover and a shaker, there is nothing wrong with that. Sometimes things needs someone to look at it differently and find a better path. I think that is what Christie has done and seeks to do.

This morning on NBC’s Today Show, Chris Christie reacted to being on the brand new cover of TIME. (click here)

Jeb Bush cannot hold a candle to the guy. Jeb Bush is 'establishment.' Jeb Bush had a Secretary of State that threw an election in 2000 to benefit his brother. It is called corruption. Jeb Bush doesn't know the difference between an L-shaped recession and a V-shaped recession according to testimony before a Congressional Committee. Jeb's intention was to push President Obama out of office. He didn't care about honesty and he was under oath. Maybe he refused to take an oath is actually the case. Jeb Bush's educational programs were designed to destroy unions, not benefit students. They are separate subjects. Destroying unions does not equate to better education in the classroom. Changes within the tenure program for teachers with low performance rates when there is no logical explanation for it, is the change needed by unions; not their destruction. Why go on?

The Democratic Party has spent the better part of two years fighting for voter access to polls. They have fought voter ID and voter purges. What do they think happened in Florida in 2000? Somehow that is different?

The USA has a young, talented hispanic professor in Delaware I would love to have considered for the EPA

He is a fairly popular guy with his students so he may not be available. But, the research he has conducted and conducts with his grad students are vital to the future of the EPA.

His research has an affection for Zeolites. They can be made to serve high capacity solar collectors.

The Lobo group (click here) is part of the CCST at University of Delaware. The main research focus of the group is on the study of structure, synthesis and application of porous materials. In addition there is also research on catalysis and photocatalysis.


Small Pore Zeolites: (click here) Effective Catalysts for the Selective
Catalytic Reduction of NOx

Who needs water for hydroelectric power? Steam energy. The application for energy production is astounding and it doesn't pollute.

Zeolite is a mineral (click here) that can store up to four times more heat than water. And what’s better, unlike water which gradually cools off, zeolite retains a hundred percent of the heat for an unlimited amount of time.

Zeolite – which means ‘boiling stone’ in Greek- was named for its peculiar properties. Zeolite is extremely porous. So much so, that a gram of the stuff has a surface area of a 1000 square meters (10,764 sq ft). When water comes into contact with zeolite it is bound to its surface by means of a chemical reaction which generates heat. Reversely, when heat is applied the water is removed from the surface, generating large amounts of steam....

Curriculum Vitae of Raul F. Lobo (click here)

He is a very talented chemical engineer as  is the departing Secretary Jackson.

President Obama cannot forget Former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm for his new cabinet.

Governor Granholm is more than qualified for an Obama Cabinet Position.

I realize President Obama is being criticized for his gender bias in the 2013 cabinet, but, he sometimes views appointments as reclaiming the expertise of the party.

Senator Kerry was more than qualified for the job of President in 2004, yet, due to vicious campaigns against him, he was denied that opportunity to lead. He now has his esteem returned to him as the new Secretary of State. 

I sincerely believe President Obama is seeking to set the record straight in many instances when he makes appointments and nominations.

Governor Granholm was once a prospect for the US Supreme Court. As long as President Obama is restoring status to qualified members of our country, he needs to consider the Former Governor for a position within his administration. 

She might refuse. She is a university professor and has a husband and private life she relishes, but, she should consider serving with President Obama for the next four years. 

Secretary Solis is leaving. I am sure she longs for her personal life, too. It has been a gruelling four years for the Cabinet. The hostility from extremists in the country has been an outrageous dynamic few could stand up to. I admire all those that served for this President Obama's first term.

The good Governor knows labor. She is familiar with the unions and knows how the Bush years failed Michigan. She should be considered for a position in the second term.

Australia's extreme heat required a new color on the charts.

There has been a very odd absence of water vapor at the Intertropical Convergence Zones at the Equator of Earth. It has been noted for about the past 16 hours. I believe the reason is the extreme heat over Australia. This is extremely hot for Australia. 52 degrees Celcius is the equivalent of 125 degrees Fahrenheit. Wildfires have been out of control, yet again.

This is what a normal Intertropical Convergence Zone looks like with water vapor evident.

Below is what the Intertropical Convergence Zone has looked like over the past 16 or so hours.

The Weather Channel Australian Satellite

There is the water vapor and today Australia is reporting a break in the heat. The planetary water vapor is becoming sparse throughout the troposphere because of the increasing heat. This is all part of the negative feedback loop of high concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane due to human activity.

For as tragic as this is in Australia, it is a global event adding to the stress Earth's biotic systems experience due to Greenhouse Gas Emissions by human activity.

SYDNEY — Bush fires raged out of control (click here) across Australia’s most populous state Tuesday, fanned by intense heat and high winds in “catastrophic” conditions that targeted homes and triggered evacuations.

More than 140 fires were burning across New South Wales state late in the day, around 40 of them uncontained, state Rural Fire Service commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons told reporters in Sydney.

“You don’t get conditions worse than this, we are at the catastrophic level,” he said.

Introduced after the 2009 Black Saturday firestorm in Victoria state, which claimed 173 lives, a “catastrophic” rating means fires will be uncontrollable, unpredictable and fast-moving, with evacuation the only safe option....

HOBART, Australia (AP) — Officials searched Monday (click here) for bodies among the charred ruins of more than 100 homes and other buildings destroyed by wildfires in the Australian island state of Tasmania. Around 100 residents remained unaccounted for, three days after the fires broke out.

As scores of fires raged across Australia's parched southeast, a volunteer firefighter suffered severe burns to his hands and face while fighting a grass fire near Gundaroo village, about 220 kilometers (138 miles) southwest of Sydney, the New South Wales state Rural Fire Service said in a statement. The firefighter was flown to a hospital in Sydney....

Thank you. General McChrystal is a family man. He understands what our nation is all about when it comes to protecting the innocent and vulnerable. He is correct, there simply is no place for these guns in our society.

Retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal (click here) hit the late-night talk show circuit on Tuesday with an appearance on “The Daily Show,” where he discussed gun control, his experiences serving in Afghanistan, and the “addictive” nature of the military.

Host Jon Stewart kicked off the interview by touching on a topic that has been under much scrutiny following the deadly shootings in Aurora, Colo., and more recently in Newtown, Conn. – gun control.

McChrystal, who has handled a veritable artillery of advanced weaponry on the battlefield during his military career, took a decidedly different tone when it came to guns landing in civilian hands.

“I don’t want them on our streets, I don’t want them in our schools,” McChrystal said firmly. “I don’t think that most people are prepared to carry them.”...

...The move (click here) would be something of a shock, given that AIG just launched a high-profile television ad campaign called "Thank you, America," in which it offers the public its gratitude for the bailout. On Tuesday, the company promoted the ads on Twitter, even as it came under fire over the lawsuit.

Securities experts said AIG's board needs to consider the matter as part of its fiduciary duty, but also said it was unlikely they will actually join.

AIG said its board would meet Wednesday to discuss joining a lawsuit filed against the government by the insurer's former chief executive, Maurice "Hank" Greenberg.

Greenberg, whose Starr International owned 12 percent of AIG before its near-collapse, has accused the New York Fed of using the rescue to bail out Wall Street banks at the expense of shareholders, and of being a "loan shark" by charging exorbitant interest of 14.5 percent on the initial loan....

I think AIG needs a pay check loan if they think they were played for high interest rates!
Name Bush and Paulson in the lawsuit, they set the rates.

Here is some sound advice for AIG;

6. Lines of credit from finance lenders. (click here) Finance lenders such as Household offer small lines of credit to consumers with less than perfect credit histories. These credit lines range from $2,000-$5,000 with interest rates from 25-35% APR.

Everybody has to try I suppose.

AIG is like the child that never leaves home.

There are actually people that believe 'Doing Nothing' and putting more guns in the hands of Americans will end this? Joking.

The American Media is still having this antiquated discussion?

Amazing.

This is simply the latest article regarding the actions of James Holmes' in the news. Has everyone forgotten James Holmes' planned for the possibility of other gunmen in the audience in the theater.
