M6 Web, 89 Avenue du Général de Gaulle, 92575 Neuilly Sur Seine Cedex   | | Weekend Roundup: How Japan's Past Shadows Asia's Future Posted: 13 Mar 2015 04:55 PM PDT  WorldPost Weekend Roundup  Getty/WorldPost Illustration TOKYO -- Looking out onto Tokyo's towering neon cityscape, it is difficult to imagine the utter devastation of Japan's capital 70 years ago this week in one of the world's greatest overlooked atrocities -- the unsparing American firebombing that incinerated more people than either of the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima or Nagasaki. In this respect, Japan is a long way from its past.
But a visit to Tokyo this week by German Chancellor Angela Merkel -- during which she noted how her country had accepted culpability for its WWII fascist aggression in a way that Japan has not -- also highlights how the past still shadows the present -- and the future -- in Asia. (In Europe, also, the past has returned from another angle as Greece is demanding reparations from Germany).
In Beijing on Sunday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called on Japan's nationalist Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to mark the upcoming 70th anniversary of the end of the war with German-like remorse if the growing animus between the two Asian giants is to be put behind them. Such a move is the essential step for the "re-Asianization of Japan" as the world order shifts.
Writing from Frankfurt in The WorldPost this week, Jürgen Jeske looks back to other critical lessons from the early post-war years -- the now forgotten policies that enabled Germany's "economic miracle" of recovery to take off.
Historian Stefan Ihrig looks at how the Islamic bent of Prime Minister Erdogan's "new Turkey" resembles the secular "new Turkey" of Atatürk at the turn of the 20th century. Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown warns Britain against going its own way apart from Europe.
Writing from New Delhi, Shashi Tharoor sees Indian Prime Minister Modi's visit this week to neighboring states in the Indian Ocean as an attempt to balance China's new plans for a 21st century "maritime Silk Road." Sital Kalantry and Harjant Gill weigh in from different sides on the controversial documentary on rape in India, "India's Daughter."
Ahead of the September summit between Chinese President Xi and U.S. President Obama, Harvard's Joe Nye argues that "only China can contain China" if its neighbors feel threatened and react by building their militaries. Seeking to boost the nascent global recovery through more open trade while also following up on climate change pledges, will be high on the summit agenda, notes Minxin Pei. WorldPost China Correspondent Matt Sheehan reports this week from Tianjin on official hostility to grassroots protests against local corruption despite the much vaunted anti-corruption campaign from President Xi at the top. He also reports on the ironic arrest of five women activists celebrating the passage of China's first draft law on domestic violence.
When it comes to trade agreements, not any trading regime will do if it further harms the environment, Sierra Club Director Michael Brune writes. Former U.S. labor secretary Robert Reich also worries that the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (which does not at this point include China) will only serve the interests of multinational companies at the expense of workers.
Writing from Istanbul, Behlül Özkan says the ray of hope for democracy in a Middle East swept up by ISIS fervor is the secular Kurds. WorldPost Middle East Correspondent Sophia Jones reminds us of the ongoing toll in the Syrian civil war in light of its four year anniversary. This week's "Forgotten Fact" also turns to Syria and looks at how the country's artifacts aren't just being destroyed by the Islamic State -- they're also being looted.
As Iran's negotiations with the West over its nuclear program come to a head, Akbar Ganji analyzes the power struggle in Tehran.
Sir David Tang ponders the symbolism of socialite Paris Hilton -- heir to a fortune from hotels, including the famed Havana Hilton -- meeting up with Fidelito Castro in Havana as Cuba undergoes a defrosting of relations with the U.S..
In his comments to The WorldPost "Future of Work" conference in London, long-time presidential adviser David Gergen spells out three ways to help create well paid jobs in the future "from the bottom up," including by supporting women entrepreneurs. Chelsea Clinton adds that women are still "not there" in terms of equality in the workplace. WorldPost partner Fusion reports from the conference that the British minister of state for culture and the digital economy credits McDonald's as "the biggest education institution in the country" for the kind of "soft skills" workers will need in the future. In a poll by Singularity University this week, most tech executives say the most important thing in any new venture is "failing fast" and not sticking with a losing effort.

|   | | 8 Habits Of Incredibly Happy Women Posted: 13 Mar 2015 03:30 PM PDT T.G.I.F.  Michael Rowe via Getty Images Over good food and good wine, I was talking to two women about one important topic that threaded us together. They were new friends who shared so much between motherhood, Minnesota winters and current and past teaching careers. As our voices got louder, and more urgent, we leaned in closer. We were talking about happiness, debating whether or not it belongs on our top five wants for our kids.
It's tempting to say no because there are so many other things our society needs -- kindness, compassion, education, even humor.
But there are two secrets that will always keep my kids' happiness at the front and center of my heart lists. The first is that we adults are ever-striving for it as well. And the second is that all of these other needs lead to happiness if we choose to see it that way.
The happiest women I know realize that there are habits they're in control of that lead to joy. Here are eight of them.

Culture Shift is a weekly newsletter curated by the HuffPost Arts & Books editors. From literature to visual arts, poetry to performance, get your culture fix here.
This week we're talking about New York's exclusive sex parties, the power of semicolons, Frida Kahlo in Detroit, a history of female surfers, loss in literature and rock 'n roll savior Toro y Moi.
Everyone Who Wants To Understand Loss And Trauma Should Read This Stunning New Book
"The triumph of A Little Life's many pages is significant: It wraps us so thoroughly in a character's life that his trauma, his struggles, his griefs come to seem as familiar and inescapable as our own. There's no one way to experience loss, abuse, or the effects of trauma, of course, but the vividness of Jude's character and experiences makes the pain almost tangible, the fall-out more comprehensible. It's a monument of empathy, and that alone makes this novel wondrous." (Read more here)
How Frida Kahlo's Miscarriage Put Her On The Path To Becoming An Iconic Artist
"Before Frida Kahlo reached her 25th birthday, the Mexican artist had contracted polio, survived a horrific bus accident and endured a traumatic miscarriage. However, the loss of her baby -- compounded by the alienation she was experiencing while living in Detroit -- shaped her artistic vision and propelled her career forward, as shown in a new exhibition put on by the museum that brought her to the city 80 years ago."

Here's What Really Happens At One Of New York's Most Exclusive Sex Parties
"In this episode of the HuffPost Love + Sex Podcast, co-hosts Carina Kolodny and Noah Michelson discover a sex party called Chemistry, which takes place several times a year in New York City. Chemistry is an exclusive event that requires participants to fill out a questionnaire about their interests and feelings about sex and sexuality before being approved to join in the fun. The party regularly draws close to 200 people who come together for a sensual experience that involves music, food, theatrical performances like burlesque dancing and even knife throwing and -- oh yeah -- sex."

Toro Y Moi Is Going To Save Rock 'N Roll Even If No One's Asking Him To
"Chazwick Bundick is happy to let you label him. Better known as Toro y Moi, the stage name under which he rose to indie fame, Bundick's quick to shrug at 'chillwave,' the winky Hipster Runoff-invented genre he helped make popular in the late 2000s, and is in no hurry to give his new album, 'What For?' a definitive identity. 'I'll leave it to other people to label,' he told The Huffington Post." (Read more here)

Before Female Surfers Were Sex Symbols, They Were Trailblazers
"In honor of Women's History Month, we look back at the pioneers of women's surfing -- the original role models. These women who surfed in the '50s and '60s didn't have to deal with the pressure of billion dollar brands and sensationalist media, but they did have to face male-dominated lineups and rigid stereotypes about the roles of women." (Read more here) Semicolons: How To Use Them, And Why You Should  "Does the semicolon really need a defense? The punctuation mark has seemingly won more earnest supporters than snide detractors over the years, even as its use has plummeted. In 2012, Ben Dolnick wrote eloquently of his 'love story' with semicolons in The New York Times' Draft blog. In 2008, the Guardian tallied up the pro and con factions among well-known writers who had gone on the record regarding semicolons: 11 for, 4 against, 3 undecided. Perhaps not the unanimous support a period might garner (surely we can all agree on something as utilitarian as a period), but still a landslide win for the semicolon."

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Africans belonging to today's Diaspora, and especially those of my generation (I turned 29 a month ago), are undergoing a real return to the roots, born not of a label's well-orchestrated marketing campaign, but of an absence -- and subsequent need for validation -- of their cultural heritage. A need to know and learn more about it, and more importantly, to assert its validity and importance."

Each weekday we'll tell you what insiders in the media industry are talking about, thinking about and reading. Suggestions or tips? Email us. THE NUTGRAF Some new hires and changing of titles in the media world today: Ex-Navy SEAL Rob O'Neill is now a Fox News contributor, and Democratic political commentator James Carville has been named a guest columnist for liberal watchdog Media Matters. O'Neill is the former sniper who claims to have fired the shot that struck and killed Osama Bin Laden during a 2011 raid in Pakistan. He'll apparently be offering "military expertise and analysis" on both daytime and primetime shows. His tie to Fox News is that he was the shining star of its super-hyped-up special last year, "The Man Who Killed Usama Bin Laden." And just like that interview drew major criticism, we're sure the news of him being hired by Fox will as well. Then there's James Carville, not an ex-Navy SEAL but ex-"Crossfire" host on CNN who left the network in 2013 to join Fox as a contributor; he recently left the post, increasing speculation that he's going to work on Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. His gig as a columnist at Media Matters should only raise further suspicions. Media Matters founder David Brock is a staunch Clinton supporter (he sits on the board of a pro-Hillary super PAC), as is Karen Finney, a senior fellow at Media Matters who worked in the Clinton White House. His first post there was about the media overreacting to the Hillary Clinton "email scandal." — Catherine Taibi (@cathtaibi) PULLQUOTE “I want to clarify that I'm not a racist and in no way was my comment directed at you but rather the work of the [make up] artist, which left much to be desired.” — Univision host Rodner Figueroa apologizing to Michelle Obama, whose appearance he compared to someone from the cast of "Planet of the Apes." The network fired him on Wednesday. TOP STORIES NBC Chief Medical Editor Nancy Snyderman Steps Down Snyderman's departure comes just a few months after the network reprimanded her for breaking an Ebola quarantine.

March 13, 2015 | | | 2015 Regional Contracting Forum Sound Transit was one of several government sponsors of the 2015 Regional Contracting Forum, where contractors from around the area came together to learn about getting work on public projects. Over 1,000 prime, small and minority/women and disadvantaged businesses attended Tuesday’s event at the Washington State Convention Center. This is a very good annual event and exhibitors include the region’s largest government agencies. This year’s exhibitors included King County, Port of Seattle, University of Washington, Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Department of Enterprises Services, Washington State Office of Minority & Women’s Business Enterprises, Port of Tacoma and the City of Seattle. Through the workshops and networking at the forum, we were able to deliver information on upcoming agency procurement and contracting opportunities. You can learn more about doing business with Sound Transit here. Federal Way Link Extension update The Sound Transit Capital Committee was briefed Thursday on the Federal Way Link Extension progress. This very important project expands light rail from the Angle Lake Station at South 200th in SeaTac, which opens in 2016, to Kent/Des Moines by 2023 and then to Federal Way when more funding is secured. The agency recently conducted an environmental review of the Federal Way project that includes four route alternatives and multiple station options. Those alternatives include routes on SR 99 and I-5 as well as SR 99 to I-5 and I-5 to SR 99. The project’s Draft Environmental Impact Statement will be available soon for public review and comment. We’re hoping to receive a number of comments, which will help the Sound Transit Board identify a preferred alternative this summer. Tacoma Trestle open house In a move that will eventually increase capacity and improve reliability of the Sounder south line, the old wooden Tacoma Trestle east of Freighthouse Square in Tacoma is being replaced with a modern, double-track bridge. At an open house next Thursday, you can learn more and comment on the 60 percent design concepts for the trestle and platform, learn how the track and bridge will be built and next steps. The new train bridge will enable three more Sounder south line round trips to run by 2017 and the platform extension will accommodate longer Amtrak trains when passenger rail service is rerouted to Freighthouse Square. The open house is Thursday, March 19 from 4-6 p.m. at the Jane Russell Commons, William W. Phillip Hall, University of Washington Tacoma, 1918 Pacific Ave. One of the unique features about this open house is that you can attend online. The online open house will be from March 16-23. Sounder Service to M’s We’re looking forward to a good Mariners season and, as we have in the past, Sounder trains will be running to select Sunday games again this year. The first special Sounder service will run for the Mariners game on Sunday, April 19, at 1:10 p.m. vs. the Texas Rangers. Nine more game-day trains are planned throughout the season. Get the schedule We are also operating trains to select Sounders FC matches this year. The next special Sounder service for the Sounders FC is Sunday, April 26, at 6:30 p.m. vs. the Portland Timbers. Eight additional game-day trains are planned throughout the season. Get the schedule Mike Harbour, Sound Transit Deputy CEO
The Sound Transit Capital Committee on Thursday:
| - Approved an agreement with Bellefield Office Park Realty LLC to reimburse Sound Transit in the amount of $1,600,000 to add a traffic signal and other improvements at the intersection of 112th Avenue SE and SE 15th Street, as part of the East Link Extension.

Nació sin ojos, pero trabaja como perro de terapia haciendo feliz a la gente |   | | You thought there wouldn't be any more racist frat news? LOL Posted: 13 Mar 2015 02:34 PM PDT  Friday March 13, 2015 After Oklahoma Racism Incident, SAE Chapters At Other Campuses Face Scrutiny The video of Sigma Alpha Epsilon members at the University of Oklahoma singing a racist song has prompted inquiries into other chapters of the fraternity. SAE chapters at the University of Texas at Austin, Texas Tech University and Louisiana Tech University are facing extra scrutiny this week from both school officials and the national fraternity organization to ensure brothers on those campuses are not engaging in similar offensive behavior. The national office for SAE disbanded the University of Oklahoma chapter late on Sunday after video surfaced of fraternity members singing a song that referenced lynching black men and included the lyrics, "There will never be a n****r SAE." Former SAE members from other chapters have since come forward to The Huffington Post and other outlets -- as well as to some online forums such as Twitter and Reddit -- to say they heard the same lyrics years ago. "SAEs across the country and their advisers -- even without the fraternity headquarters being involved -- have already started these conversations," fraternity spokesman Brandon Weghorst told The Huffington Post on Thursday. "What do we need to do so people don't view us like this, and how can we enhance our outreach to other campus groups, particularly around issues like diversity?" SAE national headquarters is investigating whether a similar song was performed at their Louisiana Tech University chapter in 2010, Weghorst said. He described an "active investigation" into the allegation that the Louisiana Tech members sang the racist song and whether "there's a cultural issue" in the chapter. Read more.  Oklahoma SAE Chapter Considering Lawsuit Against University, Attorney Says An attorney representing the University of Oklahoma's Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter, which was booted from the school this week because of racist behavior, said the chapter's board is not ruling out a lawsuit against the university. At a press conference Friday afternoon in Oklahoma, attorney Stephen Jones said a lawsuit based on the school's eviction of the fraternity members is not the "first choice" of the SAE chapter, but is on the table. Jones, best known for representing Oklahoma City Bomber Timothy McVeigh, is requesting a meeting with university administrators for unspecified goals. He did not state what the fraternity's board specifically wants to see happen with the university and the chapter. The OU SAE chapter was disbanded by its national organization on Sunday night after video surfaced of undergraduate members joking about lynching black men and singing, "There will never be a n****r in SAE." One of the students caught on tape has since apologized and said members were taught the song, while SAE brothers from other chapters said they have heard versions of the racist song as well. On Monday, OU President David Boren ordered SAE members to vacate their house by the end of Tuesday and condemned their behavior as "racist," while referring to the fraternity brothers as "bigots." "I think there was a premature rush to judgment," Jones said at the press conference. He suggested it was unfair to paint "members of the fraternity with a tar brush as 'bigots' or 'racists,' I understand the anger ... I think it would've been better to take a more measured response." Jones was retained by the board of directors of the SAE chapter, he said, but is not representing the two members who were told this week that the university will expel them for their "leadership role" in the chant. However, Jones did speculate that the two students' immediate expulsion "would run contrary to due process." "It would be difficult to say a university has a right to censor speech, no matter how distasteful it is," Jones said. Read more.  Harvard Sued For Allegedly Retaliating Against Professor Who Defended Sexual Assault Survivors A former Harvard University professor filed a federal lawsuit Thursday alleging the school discriminated against her as a female employee and denied her tenure due to her advocacy on behalf of sexual assault survivors. Kimberly Theidon, who was assigned the endowed designation of the John L. Loeb Associate Professor of Social Sciences, said she was led to believe she was a shoo-in for tenure in 2013, as first reported by The Huffington Post. But she was denied tenure on May 28, 2013, and was informed her employment would be terminated on June 30, 2014, after Theidon said she had privately complained to her superiors that she was paid less than her male counterparts and had provided guidance to victims of sexual harassment on campus. Theidon said a Harvard administrator told her a committee had discussed her "political activity" when considering whether to award her tenure. When Theidon's employment ended in June, the lawsuit claims, the university informed her the second mortgage on her home, which had been provided by Harvard, would be "due in full upon her departure" and requested she arrange for "prompt payment" of the loan. The lawsuit seeks back pay and compensation for loss of a tenured professorship at Harvard. It also asks for punitive damages, but does not seek a specified amount. Read more.  The Answer To Campus Rape: More Guns, Say NRA-Backed Lawmakers College anti-rape advocates have joined a pro-gun control group to oppose National Rifle Association-backed lawmakers who say allowing students to carry firearms on college campuses will deter sexual assaults. Know Your IX, founded by student sexual assault survivors, is working with the gun control advocacy organization Everytown For Gun Safety to demand that pro-gun lawmakers stop "exploiting" the issue of campus rape to loosen gun laws. Pro-gun rhetoric, the groups say, hijacks the work students have done in recent years to address sexual violence. "It's proof there's a fundamental misunderstanding in campus sexual assault," said Erika Soto Lamb, spokeswoman for Everytown for Gun Safety, the group backed by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. "The gun lobby is hijacking something that is already in the news for its own purpose to sell fear and sell more guns and allow more guns everywhere." In Florida, for example, state legislation is moving forward to allow guns on campus despite opposition from students, university police and former GOP lawmakers-turned college presidents. State Rep. Dennis Baxley (R) -- a sponsor of the bill who admits a close relationship with an NRA lobbyist -- has cited campus rape as reason for allowing firearms at colleges. Similar debates have taken place this year in Nevada and Indiana. In all, legislation has been proposed this year in at least 14 states to allow guns on campuses. Pro-gun groups, including Students for Concealed Carry, founded after the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007, have long insisted students would be safer if more carried guns. That argument won over legislators in seven states that have laws allowing guns on campus. But now, gun advocates backed by the NRA are adding sexual assault as fresh reason for students to be armed in dorm rooms and classrooms. Students for Concealed Carry has repeated the argument multiple times on Facebook last month alone. "Honestly, it's an opportunity for us to reach audiences we would not normally be able to reach," said Michael Newbern, a spokesman for Students for Concealed Carry. "We've been saying this for a long time -- this is not new to us. We're happy that people are now paying attention to us, paying attention on a larger scale to what we've been saying for years." The NRA is backing lawmakers in more than a dozen states who this year are proposing to erase restrictions against guns on college campuses. The NRA declined to comment. However, NRA radio host Cam Edwards said recently during his show that opponents of campus carry laws "are OK with real sexual assaults happening." "Frankly, they're wrong," said Dana Bolger, a sexual assault survivor and co-founder of Know Your IX. "Lawmakers are basing their legislation on rape mythology -- that the greatest threat to a potential victim is a stranger." Read more.  Brown Students Don't Trust The School To Fix Sexual Assault Policies Around 400 Brown University students demonstrated on the Providence, Rhode Island, campus on Wednesday in the latest sign of distrust in the administration's handling of sexual misconduct cases. The students wore dollar bills taped across their mouths to symbolize what they contend was a conflict of interest in a recent investigation into an alleged date rape drugging. Just a day earlier, a smaller group had staged a similar silent protest at a Brown University Community Council meeting. Two female students have accused a male student of spiking their drink at a Phi Kappa Psi party in October. But in February, following botched toxicology tests for a date rape drug, the university declined to hold a judicial hearing on the accusations. Students have pointed out that the alleged drugger's father sits on the Brown Corporation, a board that among other responsibilities, sets the budget, makes strategic policy and chooses the university president and senior officials. Three students who spoke to HuffPost on the matter noted that they have no actual evidence of favoritism. The university has said that the connection played no role in its decision to drop the case. But many students see the whole series of events as evidence that Brown has not progressed much in its efforts to improve the handling of sexual assault claims. Since the university came under federal investigation in July 2014, Brown has launched a task force, hosted events around the issue and begun to implement reforms to its sexual misconduct policies. "I think that it is frightening to consider that despite these efforts, any semblance of justice is still an impossibility for many student survivors," said Will Furuyama, a senior involved in this week's protests. "Because of the way the university has been handling cases of late, I think many students are rightfully fearful and distrusting of the university's adjudication process." Read more.  University Of California Students Condemn Anti-Semitism After Controversies Students at two University of California campuses have passed resolutions condemning anti-Semitism after incidents on two UC campuses, including the painting of swastikas on the doors of a Jewish fraternity at UC Davis. The UCLA Undergraduate Students Association unanimously passed a resolution on Tuesday amid controversy over the tough grilling of a Jewish candidate for a student office at UCLA in which student government representatives interviewing her questioned her ability to be impartial because of her religion. At UC Berkeley, the student senate passed a resolution condemning anti-Semitism late last month, after the Davis and UCLA incidents had occurred. "This represents an important step towards an inclusive and safe climate, especially in light of recent events," UCLA student association president Avinoam Baral said on Wednesday. Read more.

The White House released a short video of Joe Biden doing a million bicep curls, demonstrating his strong grasp of the vice president's role. And HuffPost reporter Jen Bendery is pretending to be Lindsey Graham by giving up email, instead expressing herself through an endless series of Fox News and Sunday talk show appearances. This is HUFFPOST HILL for Friday, March 13th:HILL GIRDS FOR PATRIOT ACT FIGHT - Matt Sledge and Ali Watkins: "Mike Rogers, director of the National Security Agency, sat down to talk face to face with his fiercest critics in a House office in January. The visit was more than just a courtesy call. With the legal authority for the NSA's phone data dragnet set to expire June 1, Rogers needs his enemies. Reformers are girding for a fight with congressional leaders, and the looming deadline to reauthorize several Patriot Act provisions gives the former group unprecedented leverage. This time, 'we're in a different moment. ... This is the first reauthorization debate that's happened post-Snowden,' said Neema Singh Guliani, a legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union, who was referring to whistleblower Edward Snowden's exposure of the spy agency's mass surveillance in 2013." [ HuffPost] Here's the video of Joe Biden doing a million bicep curls. CONGRESS HAS NO E-MAIL RULES - Fortunately, Congress doesn't do anything. Erica Werner: "Members of Congress who are demanding Hillary Rodham Clinton's emails are largely exempt from such scrutiny themselves. Congress makes its own rules, and has never subjected itself to open records laws that force agencies such as the State Department to maintain records and turn them over to the public when asked. There's also no requirement for members of Congress to use official email accounts, or to retain, archive or store their emails, while in office or after. That's in contrast to the White House and the rest of the executive branch." [ Associated Press] ANYONE SEEN VLADIMIR? "A wave of savage mockery broke over President Vladimir Putin across the Internet on Friday, sparked by days of absence from public view, despite official insistence it was business as usual in the Kremlin. State television footage of Putin working at his residence failed to quell the tide of fantastical theories circulating online that the 62-year-old Kremlin leader had died, been deposed, or traveled to Switzerland to watch his girlfriend give birth." [ Reuters] OBAMA FEELING FREMDSCHAMEN FOR SENATE GOP - Paige Lavender: "President Barack Obama said he's "embarrassed" for the group of Republicans who sent a letter to Iran warning against a nuclear deal with the United States. ' I'm embarrassed for them,' Obama told Vice. 'For them to address a letter to the ayatollah -- the supreme leader of Iran, who they claim is our mortal enemy -- and their basic argument to them is: don't deal with our president, because you can't trust him to follow through on an agreement... That's close to unprecedented." [ HuffPost] CAUGHT GRAHAMING - HuffPost's Jen Bendery is pretending to be Lindsey Graham today by not using email. Follow along via #iamlindseygraham. HOUSE PROGRESSIVES GOING AFTER RAHM - Roque Planas: "U.S. Reps. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and Danny Davis (D-Ill.) are urging their colleagues to throw their weight behind Jesus 'Chuy' Garcia, a grassroots candidate threatening to unseat Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel in next month's runoff election. Grijalva and Davis told The Huffington Post they will host a fundraiser in Washington on March 24 to win backing for Garcia from national politicians, including members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Progressive Caucus. The efforts to organize more members of Congress around Garcia’s campaign come amid increasing national attention to the Chicago race, which many see as a contest between the Democratic establishment, in the person of Emanuel, and the more grassroots, populist elements of the party. 'There needs to be a national presence,” Grijalva told HuffPost. ' Just like when we rallied behind [former Mayor] Antonio Villaraigosa in Los Angeles -- not only porque es Latino, but because he's right on the issues." [ HuffPost] DAILY DELANEY DOWNER - Senate Republicans are nostalgic for the 1990s, Kristina Peterson reports: "The Senate Republican budget slated for release next week is expected to generate savings by turning more responsibility for Medicaid and food-stamp programs over to states, GOP lawmakers and aides said Thursday. While details of the document aren’t final, Republicans would propose turning funding for those programs into something similar to a block grant, said Senate Budget Committee Member Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.)." Block-granting is what they did to welfare in 1996, effectively blocking the program from ever costing more money or helping more people.

Follow us on Twitter - @HuffPostHill CAUGHT GRAHAMING, PART 2 - Scott Conroy: "With his microphone still hot, C-SPAN 2 captured what [Rick] Perry said next about Graham, who also is considering a presidential run. ' Lindsey is my buddy,' Perry said as he signed the board. 'I am a big Lindsey Graham fan. I think he is one of the most knowledgeable people we have on foreign policy, and we need to listen to him. He is a very, very bright Republican senator. He’s carved out his niche, and it is foreign policy.'" [ Real Clear Politics] HILLARY CLINTON STILL MORE POPULAR THAN EVERYBODY ELSE - Jeffrey Jones: "Hillary Clinton is one of a few potential 2016 presidential candidates to have a significantly higher favorable (50%) than unfavorable (39%) rating among the American public. And the 89% of Americans who are familiar enough with Clinton to have an opinion of her is more than any other potential 2016 presidential candidate. Clinton's relatively high scores on both dimensions give her a better starting position regarding her image than other competitors would have in the 2016 U.S. presidential election." [ Gallup] NO WONDER JAMES INHOFE WAS ABLE TO MAKE THAT SNOWBALL - Bobby Magill: "Solar, wind and other renewables are making such a big difference in greenhouse gas emissions worldwide that global emissions from the energy sector flatlined during a time of economic growth for the first time in 40 years. The International Energy Agency announced Friday that energy-related CO2 emissions last year were unchanged from the year before, totaling 32.3 billion metric tons of CO2 in both 2013 and 2014. It shows that efforts to reduce emissions to combat climate change may be more effective than previously thought." [ Climate Central] MITT ROMNEY! Former Massachusetts governor and 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney (R) said President Barack Obama could boost former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's chances in the 2016 election if he strikes a nuclear deal with Iran. In a USA Today op-ed published Friday, Romney expressed his disapproval for a potential deal, but said a deal would appear to be a 'political home run.' ' The president would look, well, presidential,' Romney wrote. 'An agreement would also boost the prospects for Hillary Clinton: achievement by association.'" Of course, Romney thinks such an agreement would be bad. [ HuffPost] Modern Healthcare has some news about the latest "doc fix" fix. REMEMBER THE DEBT LIMIT - Things will get real in the fall. Brian Faler: "The Treasury Department announced today that it has begun using so-called extraordinary measures to avoid breaching the debt limit. In a letter to Congress, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew urged lawmakers to lift the legal cap on borrowing, saying his agency has had to begin shuffling money around to avoid defaulting on the debt." [ Politico] RIP Michael Graves. BECAUSE YOU'VE READ THIS FAR - Please enjoy the final sentence of this New York Times story about how baby wipes ruin sewer systems. COMFORT FOOD - Will Ferrell literally played for 10 MLB teams yesterday. http://atmlb.com/1GJTR1T - Epic treehouse apartments. http://huff.to/1Gyps33 - 21 dogs who made poor life choices. http://bzfd.it/1L7oBNs - President Obama reading mean tweets. http://huff.to/18i0YQmTWITTERAMA@jbendery: So far today, I've 1) talked on the phone more than I have all week, 2) gotten a fraction of my work done, 3) cursed. -jb #iamlindseygraham @LEBassett: .@jbendery is already wandering around the office aimlessly, mumbling to herself about Sunday shows. https://t.co/DSoJh7vxBX @samsteinhp: so, @jbendery is going without email for a day to see what it’s like to be Lindsey Graham and she’s in the WORST mood right now Got something to add?

(C) 2014 The Huffington Post PO Box 4668 #22504 New York, NY 10163-4668 -   | | NYPD Edited Eric Garner Wikipedia Page Posted: 13 Mar 2015 01:30 PM PDT Read This, Skip That...   | |  Wikipedia entries for cases of police brutality—including pages for Eric Garner, Sean Bell, and Amadou Diallo—appear to have been edited from computers within the New York Police Department's network at its 1 Police Plaza headquarters. Capital New York traced around 85 NYPD IP addresses to the Wikipedia edits, which have altered and attempted to delete entries on stop-and-frisk, scandals, and prominent city figures. In Garner's case, phrases such as "Garner raised both his arms in the air" were changed to "Garner flailed his arms about as he spoke." An NYPD spokesperson has said the "matter is under internal review." | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  According to a statement by an attorney for Oklahoma University's Sigma Alpha Epsilon, the disbanded fraternity may sue the university. The Oklahoma chapter of the frat was closed and two members expelled after video emerged showing members participating in a racist chant. Newly retained lawyer Stephen Jones—who also served as lead defense attorney for Oklahoma City bombing suspect Timothy McVeigh—told The Oklahoman newspaper that he is reviewing paperwork to decide what legal steps can be taken. No decision has been made yet about whether to sue the school or its president, David Boren. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  Dallas police arrested a man suspected of shooting and killing 36-year-old Ahmed Al-Jumaili, a recently arrived Iraqi immigrant who was shot outside his apartment complex while watching snowfall for the first time. The suspect has been identified as 17-year-old Nykerion Nealon, who was identified with the help of a witness. Jumaili had escaped violence in Iraq and moved to Texas with his wife and brother in February. "The family was taking photos," said Dallas Police Major Jeff Cotner. "That's the first time they had seen snow. A pretty snowfall brings out the child in all of us." It remains unclear whether Jumaili was hit in a random shooting or if he was a target. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  According to an upcoming Steve Jobs biography, Apple CEO Tim Cook once offered a sick Steve Jobs—who suffered from a side effect of cancer called ascites—a portion of his liver, but Jobs turned him down. "He cut me off at the legs, almost before the words were out of my mouth," Cook told Brent Schlender, author of Becoming Steve Jobs. "'No,' he said. 'I'll never let you do that. I'll never do that.'" Cook describes the encounter as an example of Jobs's selflessness. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In an interview with a Mexican broadcaster on the second anniversary of his rise to the papacy, Pope Francis claimed his pontificate "will be brief: four or five years; I do not know, even two or three. Two have already passed." The Argentine also said that he misses his life before becoming pope, calling the Catholic Church's bureaucracy, "the last court that remains in Europe" and that he misses going out unrecognized for pizza. Francis argued that his predecessor, Benedict XVI, was "courageous" by opening the door for popes to resign from office. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  A virulent form of bird flu has been discovered in Arkansas, prompting Mexico and up to 40 other countries to impose new import restrictions on U.S. chicken. Arkansas is home to Tyson Foods, the largest chicken company in the world. Economists say the restrictions are likely to hurt poultry farmers because the virus—a highly pathogenic H5N2 avian flu that does not pose a threat to humans—is unlikely to kill enough chickens to offset the drop in demand. Kansas has ordered a quarantine on its poultry-producing counties to attempt to prevent contamination from a strain found in Missouri. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Richard Kirk, the 48-year-old man accused of killing his wife after eating pot candy in Denver has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. He's accused of killing his wife Kristine Kirk last April. She was on a call with 911 dispatchers claiming that her husband was paranoid and hallucinating after eating marijuana candy. On the call, she can be heard begging her husband not to get the gun from the safe, then a gunshot, then the line went dead. The couple had three sons. | | | | | | | | |  The man who allegedly planned the attack on Nairobi's Westgate Mall in 2013 that left 67 dead has reportedly been killed by a U.S. drone strike in Somalia. The al Shabab fighter, named Adan Garar, and two others were apparently targeted while in a car near the town of Bardhere. Garar was accused of planning several other failed attacks on the coastal city of Mombasa. | | | | | | | | | | Ten members and associates of the DeCavalcante family, the mobster clan said to be the real-life inspiration for The Sopranos, were arrested on Thursday for allegedly plotting to kill a man, distribute drugs and run a prostitution business. An undercover FBI agent reportedly infiltrated the family by gaining the trust of 71-year-old Charles Stango, the alleged "capo" or captain of the organization. "The FBI is confident this is a severe blow to the La Cosa Nostra family," said Richard Frankel, head of the FBI's Newark office. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  A suburban soccer player has been sentenced to eight to 15 years in prison for fatally punching a referee during a recreational league game near Detroit last year. Thirty-seven-year-old Bassel Saad punched referee John Bienewicz, 44, in the neck or throat last June. He pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in February. Saad, a Lebanese citizen, could reportedly be deported over the charge. | | | | | | | | THE DAILY BEAST | ABOUT US | CONTACT US | © Copyright 2015 The Daily Beast Company LLC
