Dayton's News Source :: Top Stories - Civil Service Board Announces Police Recruit Scores
DAYTON -- The Dayton Police Department is lowering its testing standards for recruits.
It's a move required by the U.S. Department of Justice after it says not enough African-Americans passed the exam.
Dayton is in desperate need of officers to replace dozens of retirees. The hiring process was postponed for months because the D.O.J. rejected the original scores provided by the Dayton Civil Service Board, which administers the test.
Under the previous requirements, candidates had to get a 66% on part one of the exam and a 72% on part two.
The D.O.J. approved new scoring policy only requires potential police officers to get a 58% and a 63%. That's the equivalent of an ‘F’ and a ‘D’

Please pardon this brief departure from my normal folderol, but every so often a member of the chattering class issues a nugget of stupidity so egregious that no amount of mockery will suffice. Particularly when the issuer of said stupidity holds a Nobel Prize.
As The Saudi Tanks Roll To Bahrain | RedState
Sadly, President Obama, is worse than evil. He suffers from the Peter Principal and Peter Pan Syndrome in vicious synonymy. He has neither the professional experience in national policy, nor the intellectual honesty to deal in fairness with adverse facts. Data that contraindicates his ideological fantasies that command and control economics can work simply doesn’t exist in his magical world. In Obamaland, political oratory marks the very day on which the levels of the oceans begin to recede.
Why is this just news now?? This was talked about quite a bit in early October 2008. It had to do with a targeted run on “money markets” and then was simply squelched. It always seemed like the Bush administration knew more but thought it was too risky to tell the common folk.
A few links:
””Money Market Run” – 9/17/2008
”Run Ends on Money Market Funds” – 9/29/2008
”How the World Almost Came to an End on 9/18/2008” – 2/8/2009
There are more, but this was no surprise to the old or new administration.
Financial terrorism suspected in 2008 economic crash - Washington Times
Pentagon study sees element

The Washington Times
8:54 p.m., Monday, February 28, 2011
Evidence outlined in a Pentagon contractor report suggests that financial subversion carried out by unknown parties, such as terrorists or hostile nations, contributed to the 2008 economic crash by covertly using vulnerabilities in the U.S. financial system.
Democrats have had a real fondness for hammering Bush on the deficit. It’s getting harder, especially since the Obama administration will have added 4.5 TRILLION to it by the end of FY2011. However, Bush actively tried to trim back expectations of what a government can do and to present realistic arguments on the future of Social Security in particular. I have been looking for this particular piece of video for a bit. Notice the reaction of the Democrats to his chastising them for their defeat of his proposed Social Security reforms. Yet today, his words ring true as the “trust fund” is in deficit and all Social Security spending is via direct tax collection and borrowing, a mere 5-years into the baby boom bubble.
Wind Energy, Renewable Energy [Michigan Capitol Confidential]
By Jack McHugh | Feb. 9, 2011
A recent article in Slate by Robert Bryce describes how Texas has more wind generator capacity than any other state — around 9,700 megawatts. But last August, when state electricity demand set a one-day record of 63,494 megawatts, all those windmills contributed just 500 megawatts, or about 5 percent of their rated capacity.

For several years now, STRATFOR has been closely watching developments in Mexico that relate to what we consider the three wars being waged there. Those three wars are the war between the various drug cartels, the war between the government and the cartels, and the war being waged against citizens and businesses by criminals.

Children’s hospitals have been told by drug companies that they will no longer get discounts for medications, like the cancer drugs above, that are known as “orphan drugs.” The change is an unintended consequence of the new health law, and it is costing hospitals millions of dollars.
WASHINGTON — In an unintended consequence of the new health care law, drug companies have begun notifying children’s hospitals around the country that they no longer qualify for large discounts on drugs used to treat rare medical conditions.

My personal "pat-down" experience
By Kristia Cavere
The images on television of children, the elderly, and other individuals who pose zero threat to our aviation security experiencing "pat-downs" by TSA officials at airports is disturbing. This issue became personal to me as I was forced into a pat-down and threatened that I would never get through security until I complied, and I now believe that these demeaning acts are unconstitutional.

I received this from a friend.
It will take you a few minutes to read, which I hope you will do, from beginning to end. The sermon was met with resounding applause, most unusual (unheard of in a synagogue).
I think that the simple act of applauding must have, at that moment, given the congregants a feeling of exhiliration.
The sermon was delivered on Rosh Hashanah 2010 by Rabbi Shlomo Lewis in Atlanta, GA. It is now referred to as the Sermon of the Century.

More Ethanol Means Dirtier Air - Robert Bryce - National Review Online
And Obama’s EPA just gave this corrosive and un-green fuel another bailout.
The Environmental Protection Agency announced on October 13 that it had approved an increase in the amount of ethanol that can be blended into gasoline from 10 percent to as much as 15 percent. Apparently, the Obama administration’s plan is to forget about ethanol’s negative impact on consumers and their gasoline-powered equipment, ignore the facts when it comes to air quality, and instead pander to the farm lobby.

A Vatican official told the media this week that Islam will sooner or later conquer a majority of Europe.
LifeSiteNews reported:Europe will grow more “Islamicized” if Christian Europeans do not start having more children, and going back to Church, a senior Vatican official said this month. Msgr.
