    Obama, CEOs mend fences over fiscal cliff - November 26, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Boeing's Jim McNerney was among 5 CEOs Obama called over the weekend about the fiscal cliff, which could give the White House and Big Biz an excuse to mend fences.

    WASHINGTON (CNNMoney) -- Fiscal cliff negotiations are proving to be the perfect excuse for President Obama and the business community to smooth over a rocky four years.

    The White House has struggled to make and keep friends in the business community, thanks to contentious policy fights over financial and health care reforms. Obama famously dubbed Wall Street as "fat cat bankers" and bashed health insurers for raising premiums and denying coverage.

    The tension grew worse during the election when business groups doubled down their contributions to defeat Obama. The financial sector spent more $50 million supporting the President's opponent Mitt Romney, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

    Thanks to a new crisis at hand -- the fiscal cliff -- there are some signs that the ice may be breaking. It helps that the White House and leaders of big businesses are united in their desire to avoid the fiscal cliff -- the Jan. 1 expiration of the Bush tax cuts and the Jan. 2 across-the-board spending cuts -- which economists fear will lead to an economic maelstrom.

    Last week, the president reached out to several CEOs to shore up support for his position in averting the cliff, which includes tax hikes for the nation's wealthy. He invited 12 CEOs of large U.S. companies like General Electric (GE, Fortune 500), Xerox (XRX, Fortune 500) and Honeywell International (HON, Fortune 500) for talks at the White House last week. Over the weekend he called another five CEOs including Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500), according to CNN.

    These talks could set the stage for a more congenial relationship in the next four years. Several business lobbying groups say they have not had a warm reception from the West Wing in the last four years.

    Rob Nichols, president of the Financial Services Forum, a lobbying group for financial CEOs, said the fiscal cliff presents an "opportunity" for the business community and the White House to work together in a way that moves past the tension of the last four years.

    The fiscal cliff has given CEOs plenty of opportunities lately to talk with top officials in the administration and Congress, said Matthew Miller, vice president at the Business Roundtable, which represents CEOs of big business.

    OAG, OPA mend fences - November 26, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Monday, November 26, 2012

    Years of strained relationship between the Office of the Attorney General and the Office of the Public Auditor may have finally come to an end not only with the revival of the Attorney General's Investigative Unit but also as a result of renewed cooperation between the two offices initiated by the new attorney general, Joey Patrick San Nicolas.

    Former AG Ed Buckingham, now a fugitive from justice, scrapped the AGIU, a joint effort between OAG and OPA.

    On his first week in office, San Nicolas led OAG officials in a meeting Friday afternoon with Public Auditor Michael Pai and OPA legal counsels, including George Hasselback.

    San Nicolas said he brought with him to the meeting other officers of the OAG. They included newly appointed deputy attorney general Viola Alepuyo, Civil Division chief Gil Birnbrich, Criminal Division chief Peter Prestley, AGIU chief Ed Cabrera, and victim advocate chief Dixie Inos.

    Just letting them know that this is the leadership of the Attorney General's Office. and we're ready to work together on matters that affect both of our offices.. The Attorney General's Office is the highest law enforcement agency but we work closely with them as far as criminal [case] referrals and also referrals for collections, civil [cases are concerned], San Nicolas said in an interview at the lighting of a giant Christmas tree and Nativity in Susupe Friday night.

    He said he and Alepuyo have been talking about the restoration of the AGIU for about a month now, and that he's glad to know that when he came in on Monday, AGIU was reinstituted.

    San Nicolas left Saipan yesterday for a four-day meeting of the National Association of Attorneys General in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

    Public trust

    Sen. Frank Cruz (R-Tinian), chairman of the Senate Committee on Executive Appointments and Government Investigations, was relieved to know that the OAG and OPA are working together again.

    MC5 – PHUN CITY, 1970 "KICK OUT THE JAMS" "BLACK TO COMM" LIVE – Video - November 24, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder


    MC5 - PHUN CITY, 1970 "KICK OUT THE JAMS" "BLACK TO COMM" LIVE
    SHOWN FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY - "Phun City was a rock festival held at Ecclesden Common near Worthing, England from July 24 to July 26, 1970. Excluding the one-day free concerts in London #39;s Hyde Park, Phun City became the first large-scale free festival in the UK.[1] Organised by the UK Underground anarchist Mick Farren, the festival was notable for having no fences and no admission fees. It was not intended to be a free concert, but funding was withdrawn a few days before the event. Rather than cancel it, the organisers told the scheduled bands who turned up that they would have to give their services for nothing. Remarkably, most of the acts stayed on. Free were billed to play, but withdrew. Those who did appear included The MC5, Pretty Things, Kevin Ayers, Steve Took #39;s Shagrat, the Edgar Broughton Band, Mungo Jerry, Mighty Baby and the Pink Fairies "who were taking all their clothes off as they played". The Beat generation poet William Burroughs also appeared. The Hells Angels - UK had been hired as the security force, but Farren said, "It slowly dawned on us that although none of our original plans had come together, we were no longer in control." Instead, the audience themselves were now in charge, with the organizers just making sure the bands came and went -- it was, if somewhat inadvertently, the first large-scale "people #39;s festival" held in the UK. The poster art was by Edward Barker." - WIKI = and here: http://www.ukrockfestivals.comFrom:butlincat6Views:1 0ratingsTime:13:31More inMusic
