Having problems with your HP Pavilion dv6000z Notebook ?

HP DV6000 junk, had for less than 2 years, fixed it, broke again.

\015 I bought my DV6000 pavillion laptop, looks great, if it wasnt such a lemon, I paid $800.00 for this computer, motherboard went out, I thought hp was saints when they fixed it immediatly! yeah right 4 months later went out again..this time no fixing it, they said I wasnt eligible even though there's a recall on the motehrboard, video card, soundcard, etc.Also shouldnt it have another 24 mth warranty on new motehrboard like they said? Nope,they said it was a courtesy recall, that they dont have to fix it unless it is a safety hazard??? ummm okay crooks!! I will never buy from hp AGAIN!! hahha who's laughing now, I own 4 computers, 2 being hp and for the rest of my life I will give my money to someone else! HP will carry this reputation forever and How I wish we could sue them like people did Ford Motor over the pinto!\015

Having problems with your Sony VAIO VGN-SZ460N/C Notebook ?

Vaio VGN-FZ340e freezes without reason!

\015 Hi,I have a stock Sony Vaio VGN-FZ340E, and its freezing from nothing.Sometimes I'm doing a lot of stuff on it, using WMP, chrome, corel Draw, and something else on, and everything goes ok, I close everything, the computer keeps running without any other program running toghether, than, it freezes! There is not a reason for it! Sometimes, I leave it turned on during the night to download something, update or do the virus scan, when I wake up next day, I see that it had frozen at 2am. I've already formated it using the vaio recovery disc, and nothing changes, it keeps freezing anytime, with so many different reasons for it.I wish someone could help me with it!\015

Answers :

If you have already formatted the HDD with recovery disks then it can be a HW problem. Most likely a motherboard problem. Otherwise there is no reason for the laptop to freeze.
Possibly you have a programme running in the background that is causing the freezes, could be a screensaver. i think at sometime microsoft will issue an update that will fix this problem.

Life Lately

April has flown by. I am having a hard to grasping that it is almost May, and that in less than twenty days I will be married. As ready as I am, I know I am going to miss wedding planning (don't tell Will). Deciding on all the big and little details has been great. But, I am ready to see final vision come together. Hopefully, everything goes smoothly I can just enjoy the day.

First: Picking out a dress for the Rehearsal Dinner (none made the cut) // Cocktails on the patio
Second: Working on Wedding Programs // First baseball game this season at the new stadium
Third: Ina turned 1 last week! // Bah Mi goodness
Forth: An afternoon pick me up // Homemade pasta

In the Kitchen: Lemon Bars

I always seem to crave lemon bars when the weather warms up. So last week on a very warm and sunny afternoon I decided it was time to indulge. After browsing through multiple cookbooks for a recipe that suited me, I instead turned to the internet where once again the Smitten Kitchen saved the day. Her desserts are always great, and she knows a thing or two about baking so I knew the crust would turn out well. If you're craving lemon bars this season, give this recipe a try. It will not disappoint.

Lemon Bars
Inspired by Smitten Kitchen

1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter cut into chunks, and more for greasing the pan

4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2/3 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup flour
pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, and salt. In a food processor combine flour, sugar, and salt. Then, add butter and pulse until mixture resembles sand. The mixture will be very fine, but will hold together when pressed. Press dough into an 11x7 inch greased baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes until crust is slightly browned. Allow to cool.

In a large bowl combine eggs, granulated sugar, lemon zest, lemon, juice, flour, and salt and whisk until combined. Pour mixture over cooled crust. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes until top is almost set, but still a little loose in the middle.

Dark & Stormy

On a warm, sunny afternoon it is always nice to have a cold drink in your hand. Will and I made these cocktails last week to enjoy on the patio. We are both huge fans of ginger beer, but we rarely touch rum, so these drinks are a nice change from our usual gimlet. Just make sure you have a tall glass, lots of ice, and a touch of lime to enjoy these drinks. A nice afternoon snack does not hurt either.

Dark and Stormy

1 1/2 ounces black seal rum
6 ounces ginger beer

Fill a highball glass with ice. Add dark rum and ginger. Stir to combine and garnish with a lime wedge.

Weekend Recap

This past weekend was filled with wedding related parties. We celebrated our engagement on Saturday night, and I had a bridal shower on Sunday afternoon. It was great to see our family and friends, plus it was a nice reminder that our wedding is just a few weeks away! All of the wedding parties are over, so it is back to the real world today. I hope everyone is enjoying their Monday.

Friday Favorites: Party Dresses

The countdown has begun: in 29 days I will be getting married, but in 28 days I will be at my rehearsal dinner, and I don't have anything to wear. I've been on the search for the perfect white party dress for months now, and nothing has caught my eye. So I'm changing directions and looking at neutrals. To me, they still seem "bridal", but are a little more wearable. Plus, how many white dress can I seriously buy before it becomes overdone. I'm particularly found of FOUR, I've been eyeing the DVF lace dress for a while so I think I may finally buy one. How do you feel about the bride not wearing white to the rehearsal dinner?

Botanical Gardens

Skirt: H&M (similar) // Tee: J.Crew // Belt: J.Crew // Heels: Banana Republic (similar) Bag: Kate Spade // Sunglasses: Karen Walker

I bought this skirt at H&M a few years ago, but it has not gotten a lot of wear. I typically feel like shorter styles look best on me so purchasing this piece was a stretch. The weather has been so nice in Birmingham, that when Will suggested we make a trip to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens I knew it was time to put this skirt up front. It was a lovely spring day outside, and this light skirt fit in perfectly. I'm not sure how much more wear it will get, but I'm glad I've held on to it all these years.

Jamaican Vacation Essentials

Confession: I've never traveled outside the US. So, I am extremely excited about our upcoming honeymoon to Jamaica! It is going to be the perfect trip: sandy beaches, clear water, and lots of fun beverages. When going to the beach I think it is best to keep it simple. A bikini to match the water, gold sandals to wear around the resort, and a cover up that doubles as a dress is all you need. Now, I just have to decide which magazines I am going to bring.

Life Lately

This weekend was the last normal weekend we will have for a while. I spent last weekend at my bachelorette party, and this weekend we will be traveling to Mississippi for our engagement party and my bridal shower. After that, our time will be filled with last minute wedding details, so it was nice to spend some time exploring Birmingham and sleeping in.

First: Fresh Strawberries // Enjoying Domino's Small Spaces specialty issue
Second: Pink Champagne at my bachelorette // Packing for Nashville
Third: Vanderbilt University // Handwritten letters
Forth: Two Chocolate Bunnies are better than one // Simple lunch at home

April 12, 2013

Friday Favorites: Fair Sunglasses

I love sunglasses, but I normally stick to the same pair over and over again. My Karen Walker's get a lot of wear, and for good reason. They are neutral enough to go with anything and stylish enough to keep season after season. But, for the warmer months I'm thinking of switching it up with a pair of light framed sunglasses. I'm a huge fan of FOUR, but ONE is more in my budget. And since they probably won't get that much wear after summer, I should probably go for the less expensive option. Will you be buying any new sunglasses this season?

April 11, 2013

Denim Days

 Dress: Madewell (similar) // Jacket: Forever 21 // Shoes: Madewell // Sunglasses: Karen Walker // Purse: Kate Spade // Bracelet: J.Crew (similar
The weather has been perfect in Birmingham this week. Just warm enough for bare legs, but kind enough for a light jacket (in a few short weeks, that possibility will be gone). I have been debating a denim jacket for a while, but could not find one I like. They were either to boxy or stiff, or too pricey. I'm not sure how much wear I will get out of it so I did not want to spend too much. I picked up this jacket from Forever 21 after work the other day and it was perfect. Soft and a little giving, with a nice little price tag. It is the perfect jacket to throw on after work. I can see myself wearing all spring and into the fall.

In the Kitchen: Strawberry Crisp

 When it comes to fruit I'm usually a purist. I enjoy mine raw and at room temperature. When berries are in season, all I want to do is eat them straight from the container because honestly, they do not need any adjustment. But, every once in a while it is nice to switch it up. I had originally planned on make a strawberry rhubarb crisp but I found out the hard way that rhubarb is scarce in Alabama. The crisp was still sweet a delicious without the rhubarb, and reminded me of strawberry shortcake. Make sure to put vanilla ice cream on top to give it an extra kick.

Strawberry Crisp
Adapted from Ina Garten

1 1/2 pints strawberries, quartered
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup sliced almonds
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter diced

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

New Year, New You: Gallery Wall

I designated a wall in my living room for a gallery wall when I moved in last summer. The wall is still blank. I'm not sure why, but I am terrified of putting one together. I have a few pieces I've designated for the wall through local shops and garage sales, but I still need a few larger pieces. With so many great online print shops, there should be nothing holding me back. It is my new goal to have it completed by this summer. Now, I just need to figure out which print I really love. I'm thinking the  champagne bottles

April 8, 2013

A couple of weeks ago, Will and I took a road-trip across the southeast. Our final leg of the trip ended in Charlottesville, Virginia. I grew up in Virginia, but in the tidewater region which is flat and extremely muggy. My Grandmother lives in the Piedmont region, which borders the mountains, but it had been years since I had seen the Blue Ridge Mountains. We spent Friday touring The University of Virginia, and Saturday we made our way to to Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards with old friends. The scenery was breathtaking. Perched in between the Mountains, we had gorgeous views and good wine and cheese to take it all in. If you are ever in Charlottesville I highly recommend it. Hopefully, it will not be long before we are back for another visit.

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday everyone! This weekend I am in Nashville to celebrate my bachelorette party, and I could not be more excited! I cannot wait to see what my lovely ladies have up their sleeves (they are all so creative). I know it will be filled with a lot of good food, drinks, and maybe a night on the town.

I feel like this image adequately depicts my life right now. I have been traveling nonstop over the last few weeks, and it is not stopping anytime soon this spring. Maybe my summer will be a little more relaxing... Until then I am going to enjoy the open road, if only I had the cute car pictured above.

April Showers

 Dress: J.Crew (similar) // Trench: Banana Republic (similar) // Sweater: Gap (similar) // Rain Boots: Hunter // Necklace: Banana Republic

April showers bring May flowers... right? That is what I'm really hoping for. Even though rainy weather is not my favorite, I do love wearing my rain boots. They are perfect in the winter with leggings and a long sweater or during the warmer months with a dress. I wore them constantly when I was in college, so they are well worth the investment. Put on a sweater and trench coat if the temperature is a little cooler, and call it an afternoon.

In the Kitchen: Ratatouille

After a week of traveling it is refreshing to get back in the kitchen. It is especially refreshing to make a meal that is vegetable rich after a few days of constantly eating out. I enjoyed our travels and getting to see different parts of the south, but being home and in the kitchen is great. Ratatouille is the perfect vegetarian meal. Easy prep and assemble, this version is a one dish wonder. Plus, any meal that reminds me of a cute pixar mouse is a winner in my book.

Adapted from Smitten Kitchen

1 small can tomato sauce
2 garlic cloves sliced
1/2 yellow onion finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium zucchini
 2 small yellow squash or 1 medium
1 red bell pepper
1 teaspoon herbs de Provence
Salt and Pepper
Sour Cream for serving

In a medium sized oval baking dish pour in tomato sauce. Top the tomato sauce with garlic, onion, olive oil, salt and pepper, and stir until combined. Thinly slice zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell pepper.

Arrange the vegetables on top of the tomato sauce so that they are overlapping, but edges are sticking out. Sprinkle the vegetables with herbs to Provence and top with aluminum foil.

Bake at 375 for 40 minutes and an additional 10 minutes with foil removed. Serve with sour cream and your favorite grain, I chose couscous.

Life Lately

I spent last week doing a lot of traveling. It started with a trip home to Atlanta to assemble wedding invitations and do a little shopping. Then I was off to Mississippi to finalize a few wedding details (I think I am almost finished!) After all of that, Will and I hoped in the car and made our way up the east coast to visit law schools and family. It was a whirlwind of a week, and I am so glad to be home and out of the car. I hope everyone's Monday is off to a good start!

Elkhorn Public Schools is proud to sponsor the Partners in Education Mentoring Program, a cooperative effort of educators and community volunteers designed with an academic focus to provide on-going support for student success.  Adults from the community are paired with students who are struggling academically, socially or emotionally.  Mentors meet with their mentee weekly for 30 to 60 minutes.  Meetings are academic in nature and take place on school grounds.

The program has a slightly different format at each level. At the elementary level, the program can take place before, after or during school. Adult mentors are paired with elementary students who are struggling in one or more subject areas.

The middle school program is more individualized and usually takes place during a student’s study hall.

High school students who request a mentor work with their mentors during non-instructional time, including study halls, before school, or after school. Like the middle school format, the needs of the high school mentees are addressed on an individualized basis.

Elkhorn Public School’s Partners in Education Mentoring Program is seeking adult volunteers from our community to mentor students in grades K-12. Mentors are asked to volunteer for at least 30 minutes each week for the entire school year, and may indicate preferred grade levels and times. Orientation will be provided and each building has a facilitator available to answer questions.  For more information call (402) 289-2579.

The Benefits Of Dry Body Brushing And Why You Should Start Doing It This Summer

Supermodel-esque limbs are within touching distance - and no, you don't have to go on a diet of carrot sticks or glue yourself to a spin bike to get them...

Let's get one thing straight: detox diets and body lotions aimed at banishing cellulite almost definitely won't actually banish cellulite. And that's not just our opinion, the dermatologists are with us as well.

But before you lose all hope of trying to achieve supermodel-esque limbs before whipping on your gingham playsuit this Summer, there is something that can help - dry body brushing.

A regular dry scrub using a brush over the thighs and bum is proven to do more to erase dimples and tone any wobbly bits than the hundreds of lotions, potions and creams that flood the beauty sphere daily.

And diminishing cellulite isn't the only amazing thing the humble bristle brush can do - it has amazing benefits for your overall health and well-being of your body, too.

'Luminous skin sends a message of health and vitality,' says Katie Neal, body and skincare expert at Mio, 'and the secret to vibrant, dewy skin lies in your commitment to caring for it. Body brushing can also improve the immune system and increase energy, which is why it should be a staple in every beauty regime.'

Here's what you need to know...

1. It's A Great Way To Exfoliate Without Using Scrubs

With micro-beads banned for good, body scrubs have turned to other exfoliants to slough away dead skin. But for a lot of people with sensitive skin, alternatives like crushed walnut shell or apricot kernels can be pretty skin-ravaging. Er, ouch.

Enter dry body brushing.

'As we grow older, our skin becomes less efficient at shedding layers of dead skin cells,' says Mio's Katie, 'but dry body brushing is fantastic at exfoliating these dead skin cells away.'

That's not all, though, because regular exfoliation primes your skin to absorb the ingredients from body creams and serums much more effectively, which means you get a lot more bang for your buck in the long-run.

2. It Can Prevent Painful Ingrown Hairs

Alongside smooth skin, regular body brushing encourages cell turnover so that your limbs will look and feel supple, and whether you wax or shave, a quick brush is fantastic at keeping pesky, ingrown hairs and clogged pores at bay.

Those undergoing laser hair removal will also find that the process helps to loosen zapped hairs from the root, resulting in less shadows and even less spikiness. We swear by it.

3. It'll Help You Tone Up Without Breaking A Sweat

Gym dodgers rejoice!

While dry body brushing won't completely rid your legs of cellulite, it helps to mobilise and contribute to the even distribution of fat deposits under the skin - and if you stick at it, it's proven to give your limbs a much smoother, and firmer, look and feel.

3. It Has The Ability To Boost Your Immune System

'Bacteria, toxins and waste from our blood filter through the lymph nodes where these substances are destroyed,' explain Natalie Viklund and Marie Hansen, founders of Aevi Wellness, but sometimes, the process can be sluggish.

'Dry body brushing really really stimulates the lymphatic system,' they add, 'and by doing this, we are directly assisting in [removing] pathogens. This strengthens our immune system and lessens our susceptibility to illness.'

We're sold.

4. It Increases Circulation To Help Banish The 'Orange Peel' Look

'Dry body brushing encourages important blood flow,' says Katie, 'and this has a plumping effect on the skin which really helps reduce the appearance of cellulite.'

The best way to do it? Apply a good pressure to the brush as you stroke upwards to really aid that important circulation process. Laters orange peel pins.

5. It Helps Deliver Much-Needed Oxygen To Cells

...which prevents the formation of cellulite, varicose veins and skin discolouration, according to Natalie and Marie.

So how does it work? A healthy blood flow instantly speeds up the transportation of both oxygen and nutrients to the the cells and tissue to help increase collagen for a smooth, supple appearance and feel.

6. It Increases Energy So You Can Skip The Coffee

Morning espresso? Kick it to the kerb.

As blood flow and circulation is stimulated by the zealous brushing action, it lends the body, skin and mind a much needed boost, which is why Natalie and Marie would suggest swapping a bedtime brush for an invigorating A.M. sesh.

'It really increases energy levels,' seconds Kate. 'It's such a great step to add into your skincare routine.'

We're Sold! What's The Best Technique?

'Start at your feet (you can even brush the soles) and work your way up your legs to your arms, chest, back and stomach,' says Dr. Jonquille Chantrey, cosmetic surgeon and skin expert. 'Always brush towards your heart to work with your circulation and the lymphatic system,' she adds.

'Use upward strokes as you move up your body to your arms, heart and back and brush your stomach and chest using clockwise sweeps,' advises Katie. 'Also, make sure you adjust the pressure of the brush to the different parts of your body, so it is comfortable yet stimulating enough to increase circulation.'

And remember: consistency is key. 'You should see a rosy flush to the brushed areas,' Katie continues. 'Do this for a minimum of three minutes, ideally three times a week.'

Busting The Body Brushing Myths

We buy into detox teas, diets and beauty products every day, but according to Dr. Jonquille, there is no clear scientific evidence that we excrete toxins after dry body brushing, contrary to popular belief.

'That said, stimulating the lymphatic system may help to move the lymph (a fluid in the circulatory system containing white blood cells) along,' she says, 'and as a result, our own bodies can remove those toxins at a faster rate.'

DOJ’s “New” FOIA Rule Just Attempt to Formalize Practice They’ve Been Following for Years

As you no doubt have read, the government wants to issue a rule that says they can lie when people request FOIA information. The language reads,

(1) In the event that a component identifies records that may be subject to exclusion from the requirements of the FOIA pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552(c), the head of the FOIA office of that component must confer with the Office of Information Policy (OIP) to obtain approval to apply the exclusion.
(2) When a component applies an exclusion to exclude records from the requirements of the FOIA pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552(c), the component utilizing the exclusion will respond to the request as if the excluded records did not exist. This response should not differ in wording from any other response given by the component.

In effect, this rule would allow the government to shield information relating to an ongoing investigation, an informant, or classified information “pertaining to foreign intelligence or counterintelligence, or international terrorism” from FOIA by basically lying about whether such information exists or not. It would permit the government, upon finding years of surveillance of a person, to then tell the person that no such surveillance information exists.

The government says it is issuing this rule, “to reflect developments in the case law.”

Together, the reference to case law and the timing of this rule suggest the government is, in fact, simply trying to pass a rule that formalizes the practice they’ve used for years.

The case law in question almost certainly pertains to Islamic Shura Council v FBI, a FOIA request initially submitted in May 2006. Ultimately, in 2009, Judge Cormac Carney ruled in that case that the government had properly withheld information that would have revealed the substance of the FBI’s investigation of the Muslim organization, though his ruling was just released this spring. When Carney issued that ruling, the fact that the government had been lying to FOIA requesters all along became public.

Here’s a post I wrote when Carney’s ruling became public earlier this year, and here’s a short timeline:

May 15, 2006: CAIR and other SoCal Muslim organizations submit a broadly worded FOIA for information on investigations or infiltration of the organizations

April 27, 2007: The government informs nine of the organizations that no information had been found

May 2007: The government informs CAIR and Hussam Ayloush it has a few pages of documents on each

June 2007: The government releases redacted versions of those documents

September 18, 2007: Organizations sue

March 21, 2008: In support of a motion for summary judgment, FBI’s David Harvey submits a declaration stating the government had done an adequate search, resulting in those few pages

April 20, 2009: Carney issued an order calling for an in camera review

May 1, 2009: Harvey submits a new declaration, stating that it had withheld responsive information from CAIR and Ayloush

May 14, 2009: Carney held an in camera hearing on whether the government can mislead the court

June 23, 2009: Carney issued a sealed ruling finding that for the most part the government had properly withheld the documents, but chewing out the government for lying in the first Harvey declaration; he said he would unseal it unless otherwise directed by the 9th Circuit

July 6, 2009: The 9th Circuit stays the unsealing

November 1, 2010: The case is argued

March 21, 2011: Government first issues its rule on lying in FOIA

March 30, 2011: The 9th rules that Carney may only release a redacted version of his opinion

April 20, 2011: Original end of comment period for rule

April 27, 2011: Carney releases his redacted opinion, including a link to the Ed Meese memo on which the government relied

September 29, 2011: DOJ reopens rule for comment

October 19, 2011: Second end of comment period for rule

So look what the timing makes clear: The government knew Carney wanted to reveal that the government lied to him–but also that it routinely lied to FOIA requesters–in June 2009. But they only issued a rule trying to formalize their practice of lying to FOIA requesters in the days before the 9th ruled, 21 months later. Rather conveniently, the timing of the rule meant the comment period would expire before it became public that the government has been going beyond Glomar and instead lying to FOIA requesters.

No wonder the ACLU and others objected.

But that doesn’t change what the facts in this case seem to suggest: that the government has been operating under Meese’s memo for years–certainly at least as far back as 2007 when the government first lied to CAIR and Ayloush to hide the big stash of documents pertaining to them.

Mind you, the ruling upholds the principle that the government can’t lie to judges to hide their lies to FOIA requesters–a principle that (as Carney pointed out) even Meese didn’t propose. Here’s that hippie Meese describing judicial review:

Accordingly, it shall be the government’s standard litigation policy in the defense of FOIA lawsuits that wherever a FOIA plaintiff raises a distinct claim regarding the suspected use of an exclusion, the government routinely will submit an in camera declaration addressing that claim, one way or the other. Where an exclusion was in fact employed, the correctness of that action will be justified to the court. Where an exclusion was not in fact employed, the in camera declaration will simply state that fact, together with an explanation to the judge of why the very act of its submission and consideration by the court was necessary to mask whether that is or is not the case. In either case, the government will of course urge the court to issue a public decision which does not indicate whether it is or is not an actual exclusion situation. Such a public decision, not unlike an administrative appeal determination of an exclusion-related request for review, should specify only that a full review of the claim was undertaken and that, if an exclusion in fact was employed, it was, and continues to remain, amply justified.

And here’s the hippies on the 9th Circuit (Schroeder, Tallman, and Smith) reaffirming the principle of judicial review in FOIA.

When the government does not provide the court with accurate or complete information, the court’s function in overseeing FOIA actions and monitoring litigation is compromised. The government may withhold relevant information from plaintiffs to protect “the secret nature of the information,” id. at 826, but it must disclose to the court all relevant and responsive information in order for the court to evaluate whether the withholding was appropriate.

[snip]Therefore, if the government believes that submitting a detailed affidavit would compromise the information it is seeking to protect, then it must seek an in camera review. It cannot, however, represent to the district court that it has produced all responsive documents when in fact it has not.
We thus agree with the district court that the FOIA does not permit the government to withhold information from the court. Indeed, engaging in such omissions is antithetical to FOIA’s structure which presumes district court oversight.

And just for good measure, here’s that hippie Carney scolding the government for trying to pull something that even Ed Meese didn’t sanction.

The Government argues that there are times when the interests of national security require the Government to mislead the Court. The Court strongly disagrees. The Government’s duty of honesty to the Court can never be excused, no matter what the circumstance. The Court is charged with the humbling task of defending the Constitution and ensuring that the Government does not falsely accuse people, needlessly invade their privacy or wrongfully deprive them of their liberty. The Court simply cannot perform this important task if the Government lies to it. Deception perverts justice. Truth always promotes it.

I actually suspect that the 9th Circuit’s clear reaffirmation of judicial review for FOIA elicited the rule change. After all, even the Obama Administration argued the claim that they could just lie to judges to protect exclusion issues. But if they’re going to get judges to go along with their secret exclusions, folks outside of DOJ will need to know about the practice.

Of course to get there–assuming the rule is enacted–we will have to appeal every single FOIA decision, assuming always that the government is lying.

Which is a great way to run a democracy–to force citizens to always assume the government is lying.

    What is the status of this “rule”? It is in the Federal Register, so it looks like it is meant to become part of the Code of Federal Regulations? But it is a proposed rule, meaning that it has not become official yet?

    I can just imagine the lawyers having to make “this case” about the govt lies to prove their case.

    One would think that any court to the left of Genghis Khan would rule that the executive branch cannot issue an edict authorizing itself to lie to a federal court (or Congress) or a citizen exercising a constitutional right or a statutory right conferred by Congress and agreed to by the president. One case is a thin foundation, even for Obama’s DoJ.

    The problem comes, however, in acquiring standing to sue. It is required in order to create a case or controversy, a prerequisite for federal jurisdiction. The intentionally Kafkaesque problem Obama is trying to create is that knowledge of the existence of a record is required in order to show that the government has a statutory obligation to disclose it. If the feds just lie about the records they keep, they keep that knowledge from the citizen and empower themselves to flout the law.

    This is another example of Mr. Obama’s willingness to vivisect the Constitution in order to acquire authority without accountability. Revolutions were started over such things two hundred years ago. Is that why the federalized local police forces are trying out their flash bang grenades, sonic cannon and other toys on the hoi polloi at OWS camps?

    Where are Jesse Trentadue’s FOIA lawsuits on the timeline? I have commented so many times about him back on FDL. Search Trentadue, Waddoups, Eric Holder sucks. Trentadue had a lawsuit this spring/summer and the judge was putting the FBI on the hot seat to get truthful about missing evidence. This is the last I heard, Mother Jones, July 21, 2011:

    Did the FBI Bury Oklahoma City Bombing Evidence?

    The FBI has long sought to hide certain files, according to a recent investigation by the Center for Public Integrity. In the ’70s there were “June” files, which in the 1990s became the “zero” files. In 1996, the zero files were upgraded to the “I-Drive” files. Trentadue’s most recent search unearthed yet another secret set of files dubbed “S-Drive.” Judge Waddoups ordered the bureau to say whether the I-Drive and S-Drive data-storage areas had been searched for the videotapes and other documents—and if not, why not. The feds responded that the I-Drive no longer exists, and it has no reason to think the S-Drive would contain anything of value.

    Trentadue is now preparing his latest brief, in which he will ask the judge to hold the bureau in contempt of court.

    @earlofhuntingdon: I think the biggest problem is that, for the last decade, the courts have been de facto ruling that lies by the Exec branch to the courts are fine – hunky meets dory.

    No one has gone to jail or been censured for any of the many lies, destructions of evidence, and violations of judicial orders. Even where the political interests where strong enough, like in the Stephens case, to generate some dissension among those violating rules – the guilty parties like Welch end up getting pats on the backs and rewards and no real significant judicial response. And while the courts are refusing to impose sanctions or any meaningful response to Exec branch lawyers or employees who are engaging in destruction of evidence and lies to the court, those same courts are also falling all over themselves to dismiss cases like Khalid el-Masri’s and others.

    SO it’s not just formalizing the DOJ’s practice, it’s adding the punch line to the farce that is and has been the judicial response to Exec branch crime.

  7. Mary says:

    And the Obama admin’s lobbying efforts are paying off in England
    which is going to try to make sure that the courts there don’t ever force disclosure, again, of evidence of American torture or allies’complicity.

    “Intelligence gathered by MI5 and MI6, even if obtained by torture, will never be disclosed in court proceedings and more inquests would be heard in private under proposals announced by the justice secretary, Kenneth Clarke.”

    Catchy, that title, “justice secretary.” But shouldn’t it really be “enhanced justice secretary?”

    A timely story. So much seems to have been hidden under the blanket “terrorism” exclusion. I wonder what else has been used as a broad brush to tar legitimate requests for foia and gum them up: My guess is the exlusion on mapping and wells would be an interesting line of inquiry right about at this point in time. I noticed once, when I visited the foia request page a small error box opened above the page saying that some records might have been moved and might not represent current thinking. Also is the Meese group lobbying concern any relation to ed meese? Thanks for your fantastic work.

    I believe that the DOJ has indeed been implementing this practice for years.

    In November 2008, the Government Accountability Project filed a FOIA request with the DOJ for information that the World Bank had given the Criminal Division about fraud committed by Satyam Computer Services, Ltd. of India. In February 2009, we were informed that the DOJ had no responsive records. We knew from our sources that this was inaccurate, so we filed a new request in May 2009. In July 2009 we were told, again, that the DOJ had no responsive records. Then we sent the DOJ an email from a journalist that proved that the Department did in fact have the records. Suddenly, after two denials, the DOJ confirmed that they did posess the records.

    GAP then went to court to contest the withholding of some of these documents. When we received the Vaughn Index we realized that the DOJ still had additional responsive documents that it was not accounting for. When we raised this issue with the DOJ we were informed that the documents were “not retained,” even though they involved a criminal referral. Unfortunately, this failure to retain documents involving wrongdoing by a major corporation is not limited to the DOJ; the Rolling Stone has reported that the SEC failed to retain records about Wall Street crimes.

    It should not take three FOIA requests, a court case and years of work to obtain the truth from our government. This proposed rule is bogus and is a dangerous assault on the Freedom of Information Act.

A recent study for the Energy Department – detailing broad economic benefits from the export of liquefied natural gas (LNG) – is good news on a number of fronts: for trade, job creation and economic growth stemming from increased energy development. Recapping, the NERA study of more than a dozen LNG export scenarios found significant benefits to the U.S. economy:
