tv The Last Word With Lawrence O Donnell MSNBC February 26, 2014 10:00pm-11:01pm PST
10:00 pm
have a great night. thing for arizona. and this time she did. >> after weighing all of the arguments, i have vetoed senate bill 1062 moments ago. >> governor jan brewer has vetoed the most controversial bill in the country. >> i took the necessary time to make the right decision. >> the increasing pressure on arizona governor jan brewer. >> the growing pressure on that state's governor. >> it does not address a specific or present concern. >> they're cloaking bigotry, per say, in the name of god. >> there is an easy thing for republicans to walk away from. >> a growing list of companies. >> it can boil down into a simple business argument. >> apple, intel, yelp, at&t and petsmart are all come out against this bill. >> our society is undergoing
10:01 pm
many dramatic changes. >> we have to reach out and tell our stories. it's the only way we can break down the myths and the lies and the stereotypes that have been told for generations. >> after weighing all of the arguments,er i have vetoed senate bill 1062 moments ago. >> just before midnight east coast time last night, arizona governor jan brewer tweeted this, i assure you, as always, i will do the right thing for the state of arizona. tonight, she did. >> senate bill 1062 does not address a specific or present concern related to religious liberty in arizona. i have not heard one example in arizona where a business owner's religious liberty has been violated. the bill is broadly worded and could result in unintended and unnecessary consequences.
10:02 pm
after weighing all the arguments, i have vetoed senate bill 1062 moments ago. >> then she spoke to some in her base. >> to the supporters of this legislation, i want you to know that long-held norms about marriage and family are being challenged as never before. our society is undergoing many dramatic changes. however, i sincerely believe that senate bill 1062 has the potential eto create more problems than it purports to solve. it could divide arizona in ways we could not even imagine and no one would ever want. religious liberty is a core american and arizona value. so is nondiscrimination. going forward, let's turn the ugliness of the debate over senate bill 1062 into a renewed search for greater respect and
10:03 pm
understanding among all arizonians and americans. >> arizona's senior senator republican john mccain who supported a veto of the bill released this statement tonight. i appreciate the decision made by governor brewer to veto this legislation. i hope that we can now move on from this controversy and assure the american people that everyone is welcome to live, work and enjoy our beautiful state of arizona. joining me now, damian clinco, arizona's only openly gay state representative. luther lowe the director of public policy for yelp, and oscar-winning screen writer and lgbt activist dustin lance black. damian, i hesitate to introduce you that way as the only openly gay legislator in arizona. it's not the label that you want, as you've said, associated with you immediately when people
10:04 pm
think of you. and you normally don't make any public reference to it at all. but this was one of those cases where you felt you had to bring your personal experience into a debate where, i guess it felt for you like simple reason and references to the constitution were not enough. >> you're absolutely right. i feel that, you know, talking about my sexuality on this platform really gave an opportunity to put a face to an issue. this whole debate, you know, i really hope that arizonians, foremost have woken up and they'll start to pay attention to the toxic legislation that moves through our house and senate on a regular basis. >> luther lowe, you're with yelp. what was this decision like at the corporate level to come out publicly and say we want this bill vetoed. what kind of meetings did you have to have? how many people needed to be collected within the company around this issue? >> sure, lawrence. well, you know, this moved very quickly through the house and
10:05 pm
senate and arizona. and we're alerted to it frankly late last week by some of our concerned employees in scottsdale where we have a huge office, about 650 engrowing, about a third of our corporate employees globally. by friday evening we decided to circulate an e-mail with our executive team. by monday evening we had a draft of a letter that he put up on our blog on tuesday morning, imporing governor brewer. >> delta airlines in there, marriott, a lot of other corporations. you could have sat back. why get? >> you know, just the core issues of 1062 and the fact that to it was effectively legalizing discrimination in our state and arizona where so many of our employees lived and worked. and we really love scottsdale. it made it just unconscionable.
10:06 pm
we decided, you know, this is something that we really can't sit on the sidelines over. and so that's why we decided to act. and of course, you know, we only played a small part. it was heartening to see other companies step forward and stand shoulder to shoulder with us. but, you know, we're thankful to governor brewer for not letting this terrible legislation pass in arizona. >> dustin lance black, set this for us within the history of the march for gay rights in this country. i'm not sure we've seen anything quite like this where there's a governmental move against gay rights and there's an uprising, i think like we've never seen before, because it included such powerful players in corporate america. >> yeah, we are starting to see much more of corporate america start to back diversity. and that diversity including gay and lesbian people. we saw that in the amicus briefs
10:07 pm
that were filed there. corporations, businesses are saying hey, when you have more diversity in the room, you get more creative ideas. and more creative ideas are beneficial to these companies and they're beneficial to america. couch this in history, we've seen this group of people, these sort of people who are against equality first pose as advocates of psychiatry saying this should be a mental illness. they lost that battle. then pretended to advocate for children. gay and lesbian somehow hurt kids. science prove that wrong. then they went for the constitution and tried to amend it. now the supreme court isn't on their side at all. that's clear. they went back to the old stand by and standing behind god. the problem now is corporations like marriott, which is mormon-owned or mitt rom know knee who grew up in the same church i did, religious people are coming out saying no way, you have to veto this. and it is unmasking these people, not as people of god but
10:08 pm
homophobes for what they truly, truly are. >> damian clinco, a week ago, we were not covering this story yet. you were going through what was the legislative defeat on this bill in the legislature there. it must have felt kind of lonely while you guys were fighting and losing this fight in the legislature. >> it certainly did. you know, to sit through a process and watch discrimination be passed through a body of government, to discriminate against any minority group anywhere in our country, particularly in our own state is incredibly disappointing. and it did feel very, very lonely. you know, it's incredible the outpouring of support from across this koun from corporations and businesses and individuals. but it's a real shame we're even in this point. 2014, decades after the civil rights movement in our country, here we are talking about
10:09 pm
discrimination. and it's -- and legalizing it and sanctioning it in one of our states. it's really -- it's very disappointing that we're even in this debate now. >> luther lowe, there was a lot of money at stake for the businesses involved here. especially if the super bowl had to relocate. and the indications were they were probably going to relocate the super bowl if this thing passed. some of the corporations involved, the hotel corporations, the airline corporations, obvious financial incentives for them. for you it's a little bit more indirect at yelp. you do do a lot of restaurant recommendations, tourists use yelp a lot inform a lot of different ways. if we take away the financial indentive that yelp and other corporations had to see this bill vetoed, would we have seen the same kind of outpouring of corporate conscious? >> i think for yelp it was a little bit different.
10:10 pm
we're part of the technology industry, and i feel a lot of the technology companies, like apple and intel, who also came out, you associate them with being a little bit more progressive. i think it was a combination of factors. sb-1062 was not aligned with our values and the values of reality in in, many people i could find after we announced our opposition to it. but also, i mean, we did have skin in the game. we got over 615 employees. we told governor brewer we hoped to add hundreds more within scottsdale. you know, it's going to be our second largest office. we love scottsdale and we want to stay there and so we're thankful that she chose to veto this bill. >> lance, what do you take from this? first this devastating legislative defeat, which was a real setback and ignoring of the constitution in the process. and then this rise of allies that you kind of -- you didn't know were there.
10:11 pm
i don't think you would have thought -- you wouldn't bet a week ago the marriott corporation would step up this way or mitt romney would step on this. does it feel -- there's got to be a mix of emotions about what this feels like? >> it feels pretty good, lawrence, i'll be honest. it's really a testament, i've got to say, to people like representative clinco who's coming out and all of a sudden, i think most people -- in fact, i'm sure most people in this country now know that they know someone who is gay or lesbian. someone they work with, a family member, a neighbor. and so they see these bills and they have a real face to who's going to be hurt. and i think those are people who work in corporations, they work out there in the united states. that's why we're seeing this uprising of allies saying no way, you're not going to do that to my neighbor, you're not going to do that to my kid. and i really hope, because this legislation is not, you know, unique to arizona. there are other states that are
10:12 pm
trying to pass this. i hope they look at arizona. and i can't believe i'm going to say this, i hope they follow the lead of governor brewer. >> governor brewer, mitt romney. what lance said about other states is very, very important. what would you say to legislators in other states wlor considering this legislation. you have republicans who voted for it and then said they regret it, they wish they hadn't. would you suggest to these supporters that they could end up in a very similar situation to what happened to those three republicans in your legislation? >> the message is really clear that the discrimination in this state or anywhere else in the country, people around the world have stood up and said this is not acceptable in 2014, anywhere in this country. it gives me a sense of optimism for the future of this issue.
10:13 pm
>> state representative damian clinco, it's only appropriate that you get the last word in this segment tonight. thank you very much. for joining us throughout this story as we' been following it. luther lowe and dustin lance black, friend of the show. thank you for coming back in. thank you very much for joining us. arizona, as lance said was not the only state considering such a law. the battleground for the so-called religious expression bills. and later, chris christie was forced to take on some questions tonight about the bridge scandal on a radio program in new jersey and big surprise, he contradicted himself once again. ♪
10:14 pm
10:15 pm
there was a boy who traveled to a faraway place. my mom works at ge. where castles were houses and valiant knights stood watch. for the kingdom was vast, and monsters lurked in the deep, and the good queen showed the boy it could all be real. avo: all of great britain, all in one place. book on expedia before march 16th and save up to thirty percent. >> i give great concern and
10:16 pm
careful evaluation and deliberate consideration and especially to senate bill 1062. i call them like i see them. despite the tears or the boos from the crowd. i took the necessary time to make the right decision. as governor, i have asked questions and i have listened. i have protected religious freedoms when there is a specific and present concern that exists in our state. and i have the record to prove it. >> even as governor jan brewer is trying to put sb-1062 behind the times in arizona, other states are currently considering similar legislation including georgia, mississippi and utah. joining me now, richard wolffe. the politics for this for governor brewer, you could almost read between the lines of that statement very, very well, carefully written statement that included a careful message to brewer's hard core supporters
10:17 pm
who would support this kind of legislation. >> sure. arizona is a state in flux. it's not a coincidence that in '08 and '12, the obama campaigns in those years looked very closely at the end about putting extra money in because they thought arizona might be gettable. is it more like utah or more like new mexico? this is a country in flux and this is a state in flux. she's not the world's most skillful politician, but actually she was quite powerful tonight. and i think there is some part of the arizona political brain here that's working overtime saying how can i bridge this divide? this isn't the deep south. it's not like my state is moving and the koun trif is moving in a different direction. arizona is moving where the rest of the country is. how can you keep the old political blocs together? she wrestled with that in public today. >> we have seen republican-controlled legislations around the country seeming to work from the same playbook on voting rights
10:18 pm
issues, on cracking down on public employee labor unions, that sort of thing. is this one of those? what's happening in other states on this kind of legislation? >> well, i think what we're going so see is people learning from this arizona experience. you saw a real national push in the republican party to kill this move. what republicans were really afraid of was in the case of arizona opponents would bring a ballot initiative and have a fight in november over repealing this law. it would energize democratic voters. it would bring money in the state, possibly jeopardize the republicans holding on to the governorship this year. i think the other republicans will say we don't want to draw attention to ourselves. there's no upside in this as we saw from arizona. so i think you have these bills pending in state legislatures, but i do think governments learn from each ore. i don't think this is a fight that is worth picking. >> this came up today.
10:19 pm
let's listen to how it came up. >> does it undercut our moral posture, telling uganda and other countries, putin for instance, human rights abuses against people for reasons of their sexuality when one of our states is about to do this? unless it's vetoed by the governor. >> we'll see whether the governor vetoes it. i'm count on the governor. i cannot imagine how that law would withstand the scrutiny of the supreme court of the united states. i hope she'll make the right decision. >> the governor did stop it, as of tonight, but anders had a real good point. we heard putin and other russian officials completely get it wrong about what's going on in this country on these kinds of things. but they're using these little germs like this and turning them into something that isn't there because republican legislatures are giving them these kinds of things. >> we are. it's a big country. there are lots of different
10:20 pm
pieces. maybe people who are more skeptical or opposing america's interest around the world can cherry pick what they want. having said that, just take western europe. america is way out ahead of even countries that might be considered more forward leaning and progressive. at least socially. you have spain, a catholic conservative country voting for same-sex marriage, ahead of the uk, which might consider itself more international. these are unpredictable flows in social culture and change. and america is way out ahead of many other countries that would like to think of themselves as very contemporary. russia could do what it likes. we're not talking about the religious conflicts that are playing out in uganda politics and african politics in general. there's a lot to be proud of in what this country has done for equal rights specifically around same-sex and lgbt issues. yes, there are parts of the country that still have a journey to travel, but i don't think john kerry is going to have difficult fi in explaining
10:21 pm
america's position when it comes to equal rights. >> josh, these things get pushed in the republican legislatures by the ted cruz wing of republicanism, which is number one, we don't care about the party. number two, we just want to cast this vote. we don't care. we would like to win, but if we don't win, it's important for us to cast this vote saying we want this. how is anyone going to be able to suppress that in the republican legislatures? >> i think it's happened in arizona right now. i think you're seeing in ohio, the bill that was proposed has been withdrawn by its sponsors. there are certain things that have tremendous grassroots energy behind them on the right. where there's resistance, business group, certain national politicians like mitt romney trying to push the party to the center on this issue. in some cases you get a lot of pushback. i think there's a real distinction to be drawn in arizona. people look at sb-1070, the
10:22 pm
anti-immigration bill. why did she veto this but sign that. sb-1070 is popular in arizona. she's been a real survivor. made a lot of very smart political choices and held on to a governorship that she probably should have flost 2010. most people wouldn't have been able to thread the needle she did. in this case she was making a move that was correct on the policy merits and fop lar. people in arizona wanted her to veto this bill and she did. >> talk about the pushback from republicans against a veto. the most prominent republicans we were hearing from in arizona were the senators who wanted the veto, and those three republicans who voted for it and changed their minds. i dependent hear -- >> they just wanted it to go away. this is not something where you have a really vocal portion of the party that, like ted cruz is willing to die on this. there are certainly some, but
10:23 pm
it's not going to drive the party. >> quickly, richard. >> this only came up because people paid attention. and the kind of politics, even a couple of years ago without social media, without our attention, honestly, they would have gotten away with it. check the box, the base is happy and no one would have paid attention. >> they got away with it until we focused on it, we the national media. thank you both very much for joining me tonight. >> coming up, a new jersey radio program tonight, chris christie changes his story once again. and in the rewrite tonight, it was celebrity day on capitol hill. we saw another episode of mr. affleck goes to washington and mr. rogan goes to washington. captain obvious: i'm in a hotel.
10:24 pm
and a hotel is the perfect place to talk to you about hotels. all-you-can-eat is a hotel policy that allows you to eat all that you can. the hotel gym is short for gymnasium. the hotel pool is usually filled with water. and the best dot com for booking hotels, is hotels.com. it's on the internet, but you probably knew that. or maybe not, i don't really know you. bellman: welcome back, captain obvious. captain obvious: yes i am. all those words are spelled correctly.

10:29 pm
>> in the spotlight tonight, chris christie takes the unavoidable questions about the george washington woodrow wilson bridge lane closures. christie appeared tonight on new jersey's 101.5's ask the governor radio show. before the governor took caller questions, host eric scott asked him about his former deputy chief of staff bridget kelly. >> what about the situation with bridget kelly, though. you said you were angry when you read about her e-mails to wildstein. you said you personally fired her. >> no, i did not say that. >> you did not -- >> i ordered it. >> i'm sorry, you personally ordered her firing. did you have no face to face with her on that day snf. >> no. >> so there was no opportunity for you to pull her aside and say what was going on? >> eric, by that time it was
10:30 pm
evident from the e-mails what was going on. and it was not appropriate for me to have those conversations. >> because? >> because there was obvious legal consequences going on potentially for her and for others. and by the way, on december 12 and 13th, she was questioned extensively by her superiors and said she had no knowledge, no involvement, no e-mails, nothing. if someone is not going to tell you the truth, they don't tell you the truth. what are you going to do? grab them by the ankles and shake them upside down? till e-mails fall out of their pocket? come on, let's not be hysterical about this. >> here's chris christie during that press conference last month. >> i have not had any conversations with bridget kelly since the e-mail came out. she was not given the opportunity to explain to me why she had lied because it was so obvious she had. and i'm quite frankly not interested in the explanation at
10:31 pm
the moment. it's my judgment for me to get involved with someone who the chairman said he's going to call as a witness between the time i discovered this and the time that she may testify would be not the right thing for me to do. >> tampering with a witness thing? >> i certainly wouldn't tamper with a witness but i could be accused of tampering with the witness. >> since chris christie missed the opportunity to ask her the questions, bridget kelly has refused to submit documents subpoenaed and invoking her fifth amendment right and fourth amendment privacy rights. former port authority deputy executive director bill baroni who resigned in december has handed over documents to the investigative committee, but he, too, has never been questioned by chris christie himself. here's chris christie defending that decision tonight. >> even as that study was starting to fall apart, did you not feel compelled to pick up the phone and say bill, what's going on here?
10:32 pm
>> you look at everything through the prism of what you know after january 8. >> admittedly. >> but you're talking about a time that was before january 8. >> we're going through an internal investigation, all of this stuff will come out over an appropriate period of time. and i'm not going to give into the hysteria of questions that are given by folks who have information today that i didn't have at the time that you're talking about why didn't i ask certain questions. i mean, i didn't ask the questions because i didn't think they needed to be asked. >> joining me now, editor of "the bergen record." and the co-host of msnbc "the cycle." christie said i didn't think the questions needed to be asked, which is what he said on the day he announced he fired bridget kelly. he said i didn't think there was any reason to ask her any questions. tonight he then says at another point, and talking about bridget
10:33 pm
kelly, he said he thought it was completely obvious what had happened. well, no it wasn't. her e-mail, obviously, we all know is the middle of a conversation. you want to know bridget, what preceded that. that's what everyone in new jersey now wants to know. >> i think part of what have he's saying today on that radio program he would have been smarter to have said during the news conference on january 9, which is there's a criminal investigation going on, i felt it was inappropriate for me to ask those questions. i want to know the answers. if he had actually just said i want to know the answers -- >> but there wasn't a criminal investigation going on at the time of the press conference. none. >> well, there was definitely the -- >> the legislative investigation was going on about lane closure, but that's regular government business. >> i would give him this much, that as a former u.s. attorney that at the point that e-mail becomes public, that's a flag. something is going to happen.
10:34 pm
but he didn't respond the way he should have responded. >> no. i would grant him that, too. if he stuck with just one explanation during the press conference, which is i didn't want to be seem to be interfering with a criminal investigation. which eventually an hour later in the press conference he worked his way around to. and if he would just stay with that every day on this question, you go okay, i get it. that might or might not be true, but it's an answer that's kind of bullet proof. but he keeps changing the answers and juggling the little factoids and falsehoods within his answers. he should be able to keep that simple part of his story straight. if he's telling the truth. >> and this is the piece for a lot of people really doesn't make sense about christie's approach here. this is not an uncurious man. this is not a stupid man. so yeah, the right response is of course i want to know. and of course i want to understand why these people who i worked so closely with would
10:35 pm
take this extreme and potentially illegal measure of closing down a bridge for some political retribution. he goes on to say in that press conference that he doesn't even understand why they would link it to the endorsement of the mayor of ft. lee because he doesn't remember having really sought that endorsement. he's saying this part of it doesn't make sense and yet he's not curious enough to want to get those answers either from bridget kelly or bill baroni. that part doesn't add up. this is the man who wants to get to the bottom of this more than anyone else. if he's telling the troou, that he really was not involved, one thing that would make this thing partly go away is if he had some sort of coherent explanation for how his staff could have been doing this, why his staff would have been doing this and him having absolutely no involvement. >> you said the christie choice for the chairman of the port authority should resign. let's listen to what christie said about david samson tonight.
10:36 pm
>> there was one other thing that was in the new york news this week that i wanted to talk to you ant. it goes back to your port authority. the top port authority employee david sam mon was the target of patrick foye. foye was asked, if samson had the moral authority to lead the agency and he flat-out said no. but then wouldn't elaborate on it any further. do you still sand by samson as your appointee? >> strongly, firmly. i disagree with pat foye. >> so he stand strongly and firmly with an appointee who your newspaper, you, say should be forced to resign. >> yeah. i think, you know, if we don't look at the missteps, this was a huge misstep on the part of the governor's. by this point today, now that we know what we know, i think he should say, david samson has been a loyal friend of mine, i have a lot of faith in him, but there's been so many conflicts of interest. leave the gwb scandal aside,
10:37 pm
which samson says he knew nothing about. he said that to me personally that he knew nothing about. he did not recuse himself from a vote for a use of a pass station in harrison, which is new -- near newark. he had a client that was going to benefit from a real estate deal. >> he still works for the law firm making huge amounts of money for the law firm. yeah, you get to do that in this job. have as many outside jobs as you want. >> that's wild. >> just for those conflicts, for somebody who was this no nonsense, going to turn trenton upside down kind of guy. he should say samson should step down. >> and let's go to the e-mail that sam son wrote when he cannot deny that he did not know about the bridge. and that's when patrick foye stopped what was going on at the bridge. and samson wrote an e-mail that said i just read it and confirms
10:38 pm
evidence of foye stirring up trouble. he ends the e-mail in true gangster style saying in this case he's playing in traffic. made a big mistake. that is is the gangster of the guy chris christie just said he has full faith in after newspapers have been calling for his resignation. >> yeah. and again, if we give samson the total benefit of the doubt that he knew nothing about what was going on and that he wasn't involved in any way, this happened directly under him. this happened on his watch at the port authority. and christie is standing right by him and saying yes, this is going on. >> samson knew about it the day that it was ordered to be stopped. and then he did nothing about it. >> and he's angry about it being leaked to the media. he's actually not angry about the traffic being blocked in ft. lee. it's very personal. they don't like each other.
10:39 pm
foye doesn't like samson and samson doesn't like foye. but that's not the response of a chairman. >> thank you both very much for joining me tonight. coming up in "the rewrite" seth rogan, ben affleck and the united states senate. ameriprise asked people a simple question: in retirement, will you outlive your money? uhhh. no, that can't happen. that's the thing, you don't know how long it has to last. everyone has retirement questions. so ameriprise created the exclusive.. confident retirement approach. now you and your ameripise advisor can get the real answers you need.

to get the job done. first i should answer the question i assume many of you are asking. yes, i'm aware that his nothing to do with the legalization of marijuana. >> best joke i've ever heard in a senate hearing. it was celebrity day on capitol hill. seth rogan testified to the senate appropriations subcommittee about the rising costs of alzheimer's disease. >> after forgetting who she and her loved ones were, my mother in law, a teacher for 35 years forgot how to speak, feed herself, dres herself and go to her bathroom herself, all by the age of 60. unlike any of the other top ten causes of death in america, there's no way to prevent, cure or even slow the progression of alzheimer's disease.
10:47 pm
>> that's where .celebrity testimony is usually the most helpful. at otherwise obscure appropriations hearings about how much money we should devote to a particular problem. we would not even know that there was a senate hearing today involving the rising costs of alzheimer's for patients if seth rogan or someone else of his visibility level had not testified. in another senate hearing room today, there was a hearing titled prospects for peace in the democratic republic of congo and great lakes region, which would have attracted no news cameras and no news reports and very few senators if ben affleck wasn't one of the witnesses scheduled to testify. foreign policy.com posted a story about the hearing before it began under the deliberately provocative title, ben affleck to testify before congress as an africa expert. the piece found an anonymous republican staffer at the house foreign affairs committee saying
10:48 pm
that they turned down an opportunity to hear ben affleck testify to that committee on the same subject because, quote, people serious about resolving problems, especially problems related to life and death want to have serious conversations with experts and leaders in the field. not celebrities. well, what if the celebrity is a leader in the field? and what if the celebrity is an expert. and oh, by the way, what is an expert exactly? there is no academic degree that confers expertise about the democratic republic of congo. and hearings in both the house and the senate frequently involve witnesses who make absolutely no claim on expertise. ben affleck has as a solid a claim on the word expert to describe his knowledge of the situation that he discussed today that you could have in a senate hearing, but he specifically disallowed the word expert to apply to himself.
10:49 pm
>> thank you for inviting me here today. my name is ben affleck. i'm an actor and a director and the founder of the eastern congo initiative, a grant-making advocacy organization working with people in eastern congo. i am to state the obvious not a congo expert. >> i have attended literally hundreds of senate hearings and i have heard hundreds of witnesses at senate hearings with farless expertise on the subject under discussion than ben affleck. ben affleck created the eastern congo initiative with the mission to create opportunities social and economic development there. he travels to the drc regularly and has more and better current information about what's happening in that country than any senator on the foreign relations committee. and the senators know that. and so none of the senators tried to trip up ben affleck or expose gaps in his knowledge of the subject at that hearing
10:50 pm
because none of them could do that. and they knew they couldn't. here's a typical sample of ben affleck handling the senate's questions today. >> how do you think we can most constructively support security sector perform, protection of civilians while also not giving an open-ended blank check going forward? >> one things, it allows cabilla to have his cake and eat it, too. we want other armies in our country, never a solution. but also it sort of keeps him afloat in many ways. you know, you're at the mercy of the host country. there you are, but you've got to work with -- which is why they are embedded with the frdc or put in a morally tenuous commission because now they commit abuses. what are you supposed to do? the population grew to resent ways in which manusco, when you say we're going to protect you from civilians, you may be doing it nine out of ten time, but the

time it doesn't happen, people become quite resentful, particularly if they're not your countryman. >> i don't know about you, but there were a bunch of references that ben affleck made there that i didn't understand because i've never been to the drc. so i'm not an expert on the democratic republic of the congo. and affleck is. >> i thank all three of the witnesses here today. and i thank them for their expertise. from time to time we have people who have some celebrity status that come and testify here. you are imminently qualified to give us the benefit of your experience and knowledge, and i think that your credibility is really remarkable because of the depth of your commitment. i thank you. >> thank you, senator. ♪ [ girl ] my mom, she makes underwater fans

As you know, adding a hide NAT rule with Any as a Source is not possible in Checkpoint (at least with R71.30). So the rule below will generate an error during validation:
Verifier warnings: Invalid
in Source of Address Translation Rule. is valid only if the matching Translated column is .
which is a shame, since it's a perfectly fine requirement for asymmetric routing environments.
The fix (call it a "hack") is to add two network objects: 0.0.0.0/184.108.40.206 and 22.214.171.124/126.96.36.199, group them and place created group as a Source. That way the policy will be compiled and installed without any errors and you will still have "Any" as a Source because these two networks include any possible IP address.
According to sk21751 this is by design. It'd be interesting to read though about the reasons behind (performance may be, cause you need to maintain a massive translation table?).

The world doesn't just need more Canada — it needs more Canadian oil, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer said Friday.
As such, Scheer indicated fossil fuel subsidies, which the Greens and NDP have vowed to eliminate, would not be among the cuts he intends to make to corporate handouts and tax assistance to pay for some of his spending promises.
Scheer said earlier this week he would slash at least $1.5 billion from federal handouts and tax-break programs to corporate Canada to help pay for the $9 billion in tax cuts, credits and program spending promised so far in the campaign.
"As long as there is international demand for oil and gas, I believe that Canada should be the one supplying it," Scheer said in front of a local Saint John hospital.
"The projections for consumption of oil and gas well into the future are only expected to rise and I believe it's much better for the world, much better for our environment, for Canada to be supplying that energy."
The former Conservative and Liberal governments have promised to eliminate inefficient subsidies by 2025 as part of pledges through the G20 and G7 economic groups of nations, annually since 2009.
But it wasn't until June 2018 that Canada made any progress on the file, signing an agreement with Argentina to conduct a peer review of each others energy subsidies to identify what can and should be cut. A draft consultation report suggested Canada couldn't itself identify any inefficient subsidies from Ottawa for fossil fuels.
However, Environmental Defence said in a recent report that Canada's $3.3 billion annual federal and provincial subsidies to fossil fuel companies amounts to Canadians paying oil and gas companies $19 per tonne of greenhouse gas emissions, and undermines climate action efforts. The federal portion of that is nearly $300 million, not including the $10 billion or more Export Development Canada loans out to help Canadian companies finance oil and gas production in other countries.
The International Institute for Sustainable Development says Canada spends more per capita on fossil fuel subsidies than any other G7 nation.
Scheer's environment plan includes a pledge to export more Canadian oil and gas, which he said is produced with more environmental regulations and is therefore cleaner than that produced in foreign companies.
Scheer added another $1.5 billion to his campaign promises price-tag Friday, with a pledge to spend that over four years to help provinces buy new MRI and CT scanners to cut wait times.
Scheer said a Conservative government would buy the imaging machines to replace aging ones, which he says would reduce the time Canadian wait for those tests.
Scheer cited a Conference Board of Canada report that found there are excessive wait times for those tests, costing the economy billions of dollars.
"Today, medical imaging equipment across Canada is falling behind," he said. "We don't have enough equipment to meet the growing demand for potentially life-saving tests and the wait times for important tests and treatments are too long as a result."
He says that with Canada's aging population, the demand for those tests will only increase.
The Conservatives said the investment would give provinces more spending flexibility, with the federal government footing the bill for replacing out-of-date medical imaging equipment.
Scheer also said he wrote to every premier before the election to tell them a Conservative government would not cut federal transfers for health care and education, and would increase them by at least three per cent a year.
Scheer is campaigning in Atlantic Canada for the first time, a region where he is trying to carve back out seats for his party after a Liberal sweep of the region in 2015. There are at least a dozen seats in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island the Conservatives are eyeing, particularly after several high-profile and long-serving Liberals opted not to run again.
New Brunswick is home to Canada's largest oil refinery, which almost exclusively processes imported oil. Scheer and New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs are pushing a plan to build an energy corridor across the country where pipelines and hydroelectricity can be shipped, in part so New Brunswick can process Canadian oil rather than foreign products.

Well, we seem to not have been the only ones to notice the problems with the arguments made by Microsoft legal. Larry Augustin, of VA Linux fame, wrote a response that is worth reading. In it he basically says "put them up (the allegedly infringed patents, and where the infringing code/design is), or shut up." The critical "money" quote is
Gutierrez even claims such infringement is willful:
"This is not a case of some accidental, unknowing infringement," Gutierrez asserts. "There is an overwhelming number of patents being infringed."
Setting aside questions of Gutierrez' command of grammar, I take offense at the notion that anyone in the Open Source world is willfully violating a Microsoft patent, particularly since Microsoft refuses to disclose any potential violations:
That is the point after all. Super-secret evidence. Reminds me of the Animal House movie. They are completely unwilling to discuss the the alleged infringements in public. Remember, one of the lawyers says this:
Why won't he do the same thing in public? "There are a number of legal reasons why companies don't do that. No company does that. IBM (IBM) doesn't do that."
Oh really? As I pointed out yesterday, they do. To wit:
ARMONK, NY – 23 Oct 2006: IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced that it has filed two patent infringement lawsuits against Amazon.com for unspecified damages. The lawsuits come after nearly four years of attempts by IBM to resolve its concerns with Amazon.com over infringement of IBM???s patents.
IBM said that Amazon.com has willfully infringed and continues to infringe on a number of key IBM patents, including:
1. US 5,796,967 – Presenting Applications in an Interactive Service.
2. US 5,442,771 – Storing Data in an Interactive Network.
Sorry Mr. Gutierrez, the facts do not appear to be on your side here. IBM does in fact disclose specific patents. Since your argument for not divulging rests upon the assumption that IBM and others do not do this, and we have shown that IBM does in fact divulge the patents, your argument against divulging is rather weak. IBM does this, as should you.
Another blogger made additional comments. I don't agree with some of the thesis around this. There are not millions of contributers to Linux. Microsoft's lawyers are not the biggest/baddest around, they simply have the most money backing them. Which means they can lose and appeal until they exhaust their competitors funds. They have done this to national governments, they can do it to tiny corporations and people. Other minor nitpicking as well on my part. That said, this blogger makes an important point.
But the remaining 150 or so issues – they're the real meat, and that's where Microsoft is afraid – most rightly so. US patent laws – despite all their ridiculous demands and restrictions – do provide for time to rectify errors/transgressions assuming they weren't knowingly committed. Now if you told every single open-source contributor, every avid Linux programmer, every commercial entity whose entire existence depends on the free availability of open source software exactly what was wrong, to what extent, and how it needed to be changed to no longer be an issue – how long do you think it would take for all these violations to vanish into thin air?
Lets say I disagree with 150. I would be hard pressed to imagine 1/10th of that. Given what I have seen in the patents coming out, a fair number of them are weak, and quite likely to be pushed over if challenged.
But, well, it gets better.
Look at some of the text in US patent law
From this site
we see:
In the absence of this marking, actual notice of the specific patent must be given to an infringer, and damages can then only be obtained for infringements after notice. It is important to note that the infringer does not have to have actual knowledge of the patent in the case of marking; however, very specific notice must be given if the patent owner does not mark, or is not making articles and, therefore, has nothing to mark.
Very specific notice. Patent numbers are very specific notice. Highly specific.
So there it is. Without specific patent numbers, without specific pointers to the alleged infringement we have nothing.
Nothing but FUD.
Marketing by legal threats.

- The major U.S. equity indices were mixed in June. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell -0.6%, the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.9%, and the S&P 500 returned 0.5%. Investors are weighing the benefits of corporate tax cuts and strong earnings growth against the threat of a trade war.
- Strong S&P 500 earnings growth is expected to continue. Analysts expect earnings to grow by 19% in 2018 and 10% in 2019. Analysts are also growing more bullish, as estimates for 2018 and 2019 have increased since January of this year.
- Emerging market equities declined -5.2% in June. Concerns about a stronger dollar, the potential escalation of trade skirmishes between the U.S. and emerging markets trading partners, and China's campaign to decelerate its credit growth have led to selling pressure in this asset class.

Chelsea Edge in 'Where the Wind Sings' for Material Girl
photographed by Catherine Booty
styled by me
hair and makeup by Kara Samantha
So, I don't know if I've mentioned on here before but my day job is being a freelance fashion stylist. I'm constantly inspired by beautiful imagery and started this blog long before I got in to the profession to share my love for just some of the things that inspire me on a daily basis. These shared inspirations coupled with my ongoing obsession for clothing and great style were my main motivations for going in to this profession; I wanted to 'join the party' so to speak. To create images that hopefully inspire others like myself.
Despite all this I don't usually (I'm not sure if I have ever?) post any of my on work here on my blog. I think maybe because I want to keep it as a home for things to aspire to, rather than me 'hawking my wares'. But I'm just so damn pleased with this shoot and so proud of the fact that it has been published on one of my most favourite magazines, Material Girl I just had to share it!
It's funny but this little story almost never was… My team and I had been planning this shoot all summer but somehow never got around to doing it because of other commitments, weather etc. Luckily for us in the UK this year we had an unseasonably warm and dry summer. We shot this on one of the very last days of the warm spell at the very beginning of October, in a little village called Malham in North Yorkshire.
Our intended spot was Janet's Foss which is the waterfall that can be seen in the pictures; said to be the home of Janet, Queen of the Faeries. I had visited the landmark once before about 5 years ago at the beginning of summer. Following the path along the river, the smell of wild garlic and the spectacular finish at the waterfall had always stuck in my mind. I'm so glad I finally got to shoot there. There was quite a bit of walking done that day- dragging a suitcase full of clothes along the footpath and Chelsea dressed as a Wild Woman certainly got us some looks from passing walkers but I hope you agree the results are well worth it.

Wood Burning Fire Pit Ideas
If you're considering adding a little flame to your backyard or outdoor living space, you'll want to consider the many wood burning fire pit ideas available.
20 Cozy Outdoor FireplacesSee All Photos
Your first task when planning for a wood burning fire pit is to decide where it's going to be located. Particularly if you're going to be burning any types of wood in your backyard, you want to ensure that this location is totally safe, and that no stray sparks will find a home in nearby bushes, overhanging branches, or dry grass.
Once you've picked the perfect location, you will need to secure any proper municipal clearances for having a fire pit in your backyard, and confirm that you're adhering to all codes. Once you're all clear, it's time to start exploring the design options on the table for wood burning fire pits.
You'll have many choices, the first of which will be related to whether you want your fire pit to be a permanent installation or a portable fixture. If you go with the latter, you can find many design options at your local hardware or home improvement store. If you choose a permanent installation, you may need to have a contractor build and install your fire pit. It'll be more expensive, but it's likely to be much sturdier and, because it'll never move, easier to keep clear of any flammable areas.

With the second edition of the WTT we once again have the hackathon, the programming marathon which will last thirty-two hours (12-13th of November) at the I3P of Turin in Via Pier Carlo Boggio 59. Also this year the event's partners will support the organizers by contributing in hardware, software and much more.
The hackathon is part of the "Make it Wearable" path, along with the "Wearable Business Ideas" contest: the goal is to actively involve technology and innovation fans. Make it Wearable was created with the intent of giving a fair, such Wearable Tech Turin, the dynamism which is typical of the technology industry. In order to participate in the Hackathon, you have to register on the official website. Participants may apply as a team (4-8 members) or individually; in the second case you will have to join one of the teams during the presentation of ideas at the beginning of the competition. Teamwork will be the key to develop the best project and heterogeneous teams from a personal skills point of View are recommended: a hardware and a software expert, a designer and someone with entrepreneurial skills. Don't worry, you don't need to be excel in all these roles because there will be mentors to support the teams during the competition. In addition, the jury will not only assess the technical aspects but also the originality of the idea, the relevance to the wearable theme, the economic feasibility and the presentation of the idea. In short, a good opportunity to work in a group that simulates a project that involves the various departments of a company.
To get to the heart of the hackathon it is useful to say that there will be a division of the projects: you can choose between hardware or software projects. In the first case, the goal of the team will be the creation of a prototype that shows the functionality of a solution in the hardware field thanks to the electronic material provided by our partner company STMicroelectronics. In the second case, Google Developer Group will make available to the participants smartwatches on which you can test the application your are creating. Along with these two important international realities, RedBull and 32 Via dei Birrai will offer a drink to all participants. So you code and have fun with friends. Moreover, a large contribution is made by I3P, where the hackathon will take place, and Treatabit, organizer of the event along with JEToP. The work done by the teams will be awarded: the award for the best hardware project will receive € 500 in vouchers to spend on the purchase of material useful to the development of the idea on the online store Element 14; the best software idea will be rewarded with a wearable device based on Android Wear and € 150 of advertising on Google Play to launch its own application. Moreover, I3P will give one of the participating teams, and not necessarily the winners, the opportunity to enjoy a period of free pre-incubation.
It will be a great event, now it's time to Make it Wearable!

Cloud Foundry for Developers
This course provides a comprehensive hands-on introduction to the Cloud Foundry platform. While the course is designed for developers using Cloud Foundry, we recommend others take the course as well. Operators need to understand how developers interact with the platform. We even encourage high-performing sales and engagement managers to take the course and understand the competitive advantage Cloud Foundry can provide their customers.
The course is language agnostic and does not require coding. However, this course is hands-on, and a successful learning outcome is dependent on active engagement in both presented material and practical exercises. Please read the following thoroughly and ensure you meet the prerequisites.
- Students should be comfortable using command line tools
- Students should be familiar with basic computing concepts
- Students must be able to install software on their laptops
- Students must have an account on a Cloud Foundry Certified Platform. Students may chose to use a non-certified platform, but do so at their own risk.
- A list of certified and non-certified platforms is available at the Foundry.
- We recommend accounts with at least 4G of memory, though the course may work with less if careful.
- We build and test the course on Pivotal Web Services, but any certified platform should work. We do not provide official platform support but will do our best to troubleshoot any issues you have (within reason).
Student computers will minimally have:
- A 64-bit operating system running Linux, OSX or Windows (32-bit will not work as tools do not support it)
- Ability to install new software (such as the Cloud Foundry CLI)
- A suitable text editor
- We recommend Windows users install Windows Powershell and familiarize themselves with it before the class (optional).
During the course, students will install:
We also recommend the following optional tools:
During the course, students will sign up for a free account with Papertrail.

Charles Burchfield writing at his desk, by William Doran (Photo: Charles E. Burchfield Archives, Gift of William Doran)
For years I had Charles Burchfield misfiled under "Depression Era Regional Artists" along with Thomas Hart Benton, John Steuart Curry and Grant Wood. It wasn't a file I spent much time rifling through, so my error wasn't discovered until I saw the show of his work curated by artist Robert Gober in 2010 at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles and the Whitney in New York. (An earlier post detailing that revelatory show is Burchfield on my Mind.)
Everything changed when I saw his work in a full continuum. In just one day Burchfield catapulted from an obscure regionalist whose work I barely knew to one of my favorite artists. My passion for him has only increased with time.
While I was in Chautauqua New York for the opening of my show, On the Surface: Outward Appearances (details here), I was able to see two exhibitions that featured Burchfield and his work. One was serendipitously upstairs from On the Surface at the Strohl Arts Center—The Paintings and Writings of Charles E. Burchfield. By comingling both visual and verbal Burchfieldisms, this show makes the best case yet for his true identity as a visionary, a nature mystic, and a channel. Once you get that it is so obvious, especially when reading the words he wrote.
With the exception of Robert Gober,* art historians have not embraced the deeply mystical aspects of Burchfield's work. He is not included in the list of visionary artists along with the likes of William Blake, Gustave Moreau and Morris Graves. Burchfield doesn't look the part, that's for certain: his unpretentious midwestern demeanor just doesn't suggest "mystic" to anyone. Visiting the Burchfield Penny Museum in Buffalo—which boasts the largest collection of his work—I found the curatorial commentary rather tone deaf to the rhapsodic quality of Burchfield's connection with the natural world. The portrait of him that they seem to draw is one of a benign, hard working landscape artist who had a peculiar tendency towards extra swirls which they refer to as "heat waves".
I get it. Burchfield's ability to see the auric fields that exist around every tree, flower and star is not an aesthetic category that is easy to explain. I had the extraordinary advantage of viewing his work with my friend Linda who possesses a similar ability, so her immediate recognition of what Burchfield was up to reinforced my own intuitive sense of his gift of mystical seeing.
A few of Burchfield's hand scrawled messages included in the Chautauqua show read like mystical pronouncements, as instructions channeled to him directly. One that I did not photograph captures the essence of Burchfield's seminal assignment:
Give yourself up entirely to nature. Let nature woo you.
That line couples nicely with another Burchfield quote:
An artist must paint not what he sees in nature, but what is there. To do so he must invent symbols, which, if properly used, make his work seem even more real than what is in front of him.
Given the increased interest in Burchfield and his work, I am certain there are several researchers working on what will become the newly updated and definitive biography of his life. I hope any future retelling will include a more robust recognition of Burchfield's deeply mystical and visionary nature.
Handwritten notes from the Burchfield exhibit at Chautauqua:
"You cannot grow unless you attempt things beyond your powers."
"It is up to you now, to carry on. Are you equal to the task?"
"You are completely dead – Devoid of any emotional attitude toward nature Wake up – be bold, make bold caricatures & conventionalizations."
*Robert Gober is the one voice that does acknowledge Birchfield's otherworldliness. In his catalog for the show, Heat Waves in a Swamp: The Paintings of Charles Burchfield, Gober goes so far as to describe Burchfield's work as "immersed in what he perceived as the complicated beauty and spirituality of nature…often imbued with visionary, apocalyptic, and hallucinatory qualities."

Name: Joe Waterfield
What do you do? I am a Public Services Officer, this means that I help people to find and use items in our collections. I issue licences for the use of material and I work out where the items can be found physically and digitally.
How did you get here? I studied history at university and since graduating I have been working in the heritage sector.
What are you working on today? Today I have sent a reporter some photographs from the Buildings at Risk Register to use in a newspaper article, I have talked to a librarian about using SCRAN images in a display, and I have supplied RCAHMS GIS data that will be used as part of a collaborative research project.
Favourite part of your job? My favourite part of the job is the sheer breadth of people and objects it puts me in touch with. One day I could be collecting photos of buildings designed by James Salmon for a public exhibition, another day I could be helping a customer access a photograph of a relative.
What did university not teach you? I used archives as a researcher when studying at university, but I had not experienced working in archives 'behind the scenes'. Requesting a particular document is a completely different kettle of fish to actually trying to find that document, especially in a collection as diverse as the items held by RCAHMS.

Representatives from MR BIG were recently invited to attend a meeting with Mary Portas and Minister, Brandon Lewis, in Rotherham.
The event was to celebrate the regeneration of Rotherham's High Street Area and the opening of their community shop.
Market Rasen was one of just four Portas Town Teams, invited to attend.
Sara and Jackie from the MR BIG Board were asked for their views on how the initiative was progressing and for their opinions on the support required from Central Government to continue with town transformation.
Mary Portas offered plenty of praise for the work done by Market Rasen and other Town Teams. She was also keen to emphasise that the national media had unfairly tarnished the work of volunteer teams around the country with their relentless "Portas bashing". She remembered warmly her visit to our town, the fantastic commitment of our independent retailers to their High Street and singled out Greens Of Lincolnshire for particular praise.
Representatives from Central Government will be visiting Market Rasen in May to hear first-hand what our Town has achieved. We understand that Market Rasen is celebrated as one of the fastest-acting and most successful of the initial Portas Pilot Towns.
