Porkbusters Oust Green Over Flake Flap
Porkbusters has ejected Rep. Bill Greene from its mailing list for passing over group favorite Rep. Jeff Flake for a seat on the Appropriations Committee in favor of Rep. Joe Bonner. Rob Bluey has details: Just when it appeared House Republicans had turned the corner on earmark reform, party leaders did the unthinkable. They picked Rep. Jo Bonner (R-Ala.) for the vacant seat on the Appropriations Committee, bypassing conservative Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and the opportunity to show they were committed to real reform. Bonner may talk a good game when it comes to earmark reform. However, his record is abysmal. The three-term Republican scored just 2% on the Club for Growth's 2007 RePORK Card, meaning he voted for just one of the 50 anti-pork amendments offered by conservatives.
Lloyds TSB invests £3.5m in comms update
The project, run with systems integrator Affiniti, focuses on the installation of a Cisco converged communications system at the bank's new premises in the City of London. Around 1,100 staff will provide support for the bank's cash management and payments, risk management, human resources and pensions, specialist financing, and trade and structured investments services.

The project also involves the setting up of a wireless network, also supplied by Cisco, so that 200 traders within the building are connected to the platform, even in the caf.
It's time to put lines underground
Now because of the actions of some morally bereft, useless slugs who wanted a quick buck and didn't care who it hurt, all 321,000 of us feel threatened and vulnerable (Feb. 14 article, "Laptops missing with IDs of donors / Lifeblood raises alert after suspected computer thefts"). This crime could hurt not only us and the hardworking, good people of Lifeblood, but the community as a whole. If we stop giving blood, what happens to the St. Jude child who needs platelets, the gunshot victim and everyone who depends on transfusions to survive? To the lowlife thieves: Actions have consequences. What if your loved one needs blood. Are you going to donate it?

Abstract painter sees stripes
You got the first letter right. And it wasn't Minneapolis either. It was a trip to Morocco, which is actually South and East of Minneapolis," he said as he smiles. Scully said he was amazed by the intricate decoration he saw on the buildings, patterns repeated again and again. "I thought that the rhythms that I saw in this world were intoxicating," he said. "So I started to make paintings with stripes when I came back." That was 35 years ago, and he has been painting stripes ever since. But not the same stripes. He has done huge canvases, tiny woodblock prints, and everything in-between. As he leads the group round the gallery he points to how the stripes interrelate. He talks about how some become windows within a larger picture, and others stand out as he puts it, like Narcissus.
Société Générale loses $7 billion in trading fraud
I do believe that the free, unbridled, greed driven pursuit of commercial banks playing in off-the balance sheet games with exotic financial arrangements is showing itself to be a recipe for disaster. I think we in the west and east need to have an honest and open discussion about regulation, national banking (possibly renationalizing as most are independent), usury, etc. Most banking, at least in the US, is done ultimately with the authority of the federal gavernemnt (Federal reserve system, corporate limited liability laws, etc.), and since [the US] is a republic, it in theory should be in the interest of the republic. It is questionable if this interest is being best served in the day to day operations of the current banking system Mark Wyatt www.siv0.com .
Hume to Conservatives: 'Get Off McCain's Back '
Increase size of the Amry & Marines (Barack said he wants to do that) Appoint judges like Scalia, Thomas, and Roberts (we already know McCain hates Alito) Promise to expell illegal aliens, at the same time you build a fence. Spend more money for the military to buy more CVAs, F-22s, F-35s, C-17s, KC-45s, B-2s, cruise missles, Viginia class submarines, Aegis Cruisers & Destroyers, etc. That's the bare minimum for him to get my vote as I hold my nose. I don't expect to be voting for him. Pledge to not support RINOs ever again! .
