CWEB.com – WASHINGTON, DC – In this week’s address, President Obama solemnly reflected on the meaning of Memorial Day and recognized the sacrifices made by the American warriors who never made it back home. Though the President stressed that citizens should thank active-duty troops and veterans every day of the year, he emphasized that Memorial Day is reserved for remembering the unselfish men and women who gave their lives in defense of the nation. In addition to reflecting on the unpayable debt owed to fallen servicemembers, Americans should also make an effort to offer support to the families of their countrymen who gave everything. Whether it’s hiring a veteran, reaching out to a grieving family member, or simply pausing for a moment of silent thanks, the President wants the country to join him in an act of remembrance during the Memorial weekend.

The audio of the address and video of the address will be available online at www.whitehouse.gov at 6:00AM EDT, May 28, 2016.

Remarks of President Barack Obama as Delivered
Weekly Address
The White House
May 28, 2016

Hi, everybody. Right now, there are American troops serving in harm’s way and standing sentry around the world. There are veterans who’ve served honorably in times of war and peace, and often came home bearing the invisible and visible wounds of war. They may not speak the loudest about their patriotism — they let their actions do that. And the right time to think of these men and women, and thank them for their service and sacrifice, is every day of the year.

Memorial Day, which we’ll observe Monday, is different. It’s the day we remember those who never made it home; those who never had the chance to take off the uniform and be honored as a veteran. It’s the day we stop to reflect with gratitude on the sacrifice of generations who made us more prosperous and free, and to think of the loved ones they left behind.

Remembering them — searing their stories and their contributions into our collective memory — that’s an awesome responsibility. It’s one that all of us share as citizens.

As Commander-in-Chief, I have no more solemn obligation than leading our men and women in uniform. Making sure they have what they need to succeed. Making sure we only send them into harm’s way when it’s absolutely necessary. And if they make the ultimate sacrifice — if they give their very lives — we have to do more than honor their memory.

We have to be there for their families. Over the years, Michelle and I have spent quiet moments with the families of the fallen — husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters. They’ve shared their pain — but also their pride in the sacrifices their loved ones made under our proud flag.

It’s up to the rest of us to live our lives in a way that’s worthy of these sacrifices.

The idea to set aside a Memorial Day each year didn’t come from our government — it came from ordinary citizens who acknowledged that while we can’t build monuments to every heroic act of every warrior we lost in battle, we can keep their memories alive by taking one day out of the year to decorate the places where they’re buried.

That’s something that so many of our fellow Americans are doing this weekend. Remembering. Remembering the soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen who died in our defense. Remembering those who remain missing. Remembering that they were our fellow citizens and churchgoers, classmates and children, and more often than not, the best of us.

So this Memorial weekend, I hope you’ll join me in acts of remembrance. Lay a flower or plant a flag at a fallen hero’s final resting place. Reach out to a Gold Star Family in your community, and listen to the story they have to tell. Send a care package to our troops overseas, volunteer to make a wounded warrior’s day a little easier, or hire a veteran who is ready and willing to serve at home just as they did abroad.

Or just pause, take a moment, and offer a silent word of prayer or a public word of thanks.

The debt we owe our fallen heroes is one we can never truly repay. But our responsibility to remember is something we can live up to every day of the year.

Thanks. May God watch over our fallen heroes and their families, and may God continue to bless the United States of America.

Published on Apr 7, 2015

A 2000 United States Department of the Treasury study of lending trends for 305 cities from 1993 to 1998 showed that $467 billion of mortgage lending was made by Community Reinvestment Act (CRA)-covered lenders into low and mid level income (LMI) borrowers and neighborhoods, representing 10% of all U.S. mortgage lending during the period. The majority of these were prime loans. Sub-prime loans made by CRA-covered institutions constituted a 3% market share of LMI loans in 1998, but in the run-up to the crisis, fully 25% of all sub-prime lending occurred at CRA-covered institutions and another 25% of sub-prime loans had some connection with CRA. In addition, an analysis by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas in 2009, however, concluded that the CRA was not responsible for the mortgage loan crisis, pointing out that CRA rules have been in place since 1995 whereas the poor lending emerged only a decade later. Furthermore, most sub-prime loans were not made to the LMI borrowers targeted by the CRA, especially in the years 2005—2006 leading up to the crisis. Nor did it find any evidence that lending under the CRA rules increased delinquency rates or that the CRA indirectly influenced independent mortgage lenders to ramp up sub-prime lending.

To other analysts the delay between CRA rule changes (in 1995) and the explosion of subprime lending is not surprising, and does not exonerate the CRA. They contend that there were two, connected causes to the crisis: the relaxation of underwriting standards in 1995 and the ultra-low interest rates initiated by the Federal Reserve after the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. Both causes had to be in place before the crisis could take place.[48] Critics also point out that publicly announced CRA loan commitments were massive, totaling $4.5 trillion in the years between 1994 and 2007.[49] They also argue that the Federal Reserve’s classification of CRA loans as “prime” is based on the faulty and self-serving assumption: that high-interest-rate loans (3 percentage points over average) equal “subprime” loans.[50]

Others have pointed out that there were not enough of these loans made to cause a crisis of this magnitude. In an article in Portfolio Magazine, Michael Lewis spoke with one trader who noted that “There weren’t enough Americans with [bad] credit taking out [bad loans] to satisfy investors’ appetite for the end product.” Essentially, investment banks and hedge funds used financial innovation to enable large wagers to be made, far beyond the actual value of the underlying mortgage loans, using derivatives called credit default swaps, collateralized debt obligations and synthetic CDOs.[51]

As of March 2011 the FDIC has had to pay out $9 billion to cover losses on bad loans at 165 failed financial institutions.[52] The Congressional Budget Office estimated, in June 2011, that the bailout to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac exceeds $300 billion (calculated by adding the fair value deficits of the entities to the direct bailout funds at the time).[53]

Economist Paul Krugman argued in January 2010 that the simultaneous growth of the residential and commercial real estate pricing bubbles and the global nature of the crisis undermines the case made by those who argue that Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, CRA, or predatory lending were primary causes of the crisis. In other words, bubbles in both markets developed even though only the residential market was affected by these potential causes.[54]

Countering Krugman, Peter J. Wallison wrote: “It is not true that every bubble–even a large bubble–has the potential to cause a financial crisis when it deflates.” Wallison notes that other developed countries had “large bubbles during the 1997—2007 period” but “the losses associated with mortgage delinquencies and defaults when these bubbles deflated were far lower than the losses suffered in the United States when the 1997—2007 [bubble] deflated.” According to Wallison, the reason the U.S. residential housing bubble (as opposed to other types of bubbles) led to financial crisis was that it was supported by a huge number of substandard loans — generally with low or no downpayments.

CWEB.com – The Nice Guys (8/10) Movie Review

by Tony Medley

Runtime 116 minutes.

Not for children.

Writer/director Shane Black is back with another Private Eye flick and this is a good one. Starring A-listers Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling as two cut rate Sam Spades (Crowe, as Jackson Healy is just a strong arm guy; Gosling as Holland March actually has a license), this overcomes a byzantine plot that never really does make any sense by a witty script, fine acting and terrific cinematography.

It contains a sparkling performance by 14-15 year old, one inch under five feet Angourie Rice as Gosling’s daughter, Holly March. She more than holds her own with Crowe and Gosling and has a budding beauty that marks her as another Natalie Wood. But, forget her attractiveness, this young lady can act! Another good performance is laid in by Matt Bomer as John Boy, a hired killer.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz2Xii5kZ-Y]

I never really did get the point of the whole thing, something about Detroit and catalytic converters in the ‘70s and a McGuffin that’s a porn film everyone is after that has something to do with all that. I can’t go without mentioning the poor porn actress, Misty Mountains (Murielle Telio), who doesn’t have much of a part, but her name is apt.

Unfortunately, Black threatens the enjoyment of the entire film with a short political sermon in the last scene. It’s too bad these Hollywood guys can’t forget politics and just make movies to entertain. But those days when Samuel Goldwyn said, “If you want to send a message, use Western Union,” have gone the way of telegrams (Western Union closed its telegram service in 2006), so now it seems as if every movie that comes out has some ditzy political point that the filmmakers want to force down the viewers’ throats.

Release date: May 20, 2016 (USA)

Director: Shane Black

Producer: Joel Silver

CWEB.com – The actor, who recently starred in “The Night Manager” and “High-Rise,” is in final talks to take over the role of James Bond from Daniel Craig in the film franchise, Birth.Movies.Death reports. He was great in The Night Manager, and by far and away a much better guy to play Bond than the street thug that’s been playing him in the last batch of movies. I can’t see the end of Daniel Craig fast enough.

CWEB.com – President Obama arrived on Friday, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to visit since 1945 bombing. He called the visit “a testament to how even the most painful of divides can be bridged.”

Our Take: The Prime minister of Japan described the following in best words possible: “We stand here in the middle of this city and force ourselves to imagine the moment the bomb fell. We force ourselves to imagine the moment the bomb fell … feel the dread of children … listen to a silent cry. Mere words cannot give voice to such suffering.

“Someday the voices will no longer be with us to bare witness, but the memory must never fade. That memory fuels our imagination. It allows us to change.”

CWEB.com – A person close to Apple told the Financial Times that the company is still in the market to buy a media company and with $233 billion in cash and other securities there are very few companies which are out of its reach – including Time Warner which has a market capitalization of $80 billion.

Netflix, which has a market capitalization of $48 billion, has long been a popular suggestion by analysts for a media company Apple should buy. However buying Time Warner would seem like a better fit, giving Apple a presence in TV and film production as well as cable television – allowing them to offer all these services directly to consumers through iPhones, iPads, MacBooks and its Apple TV set-top box. The proposal did not advance beyond a preliminary stage and discussions did not include Apple CEO Tim Cook or Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes.

CWEB.com – The 4,100-mile-long MAREA cable is designed to carry 160 terabits per second of data between Virginia and Bilbao, Spain, with completion set for October 2017, the two companies said Thursday.

Dubbed MAREA–Spanish for “tide”–this giant underwater cable will stretch from Virginia to Bilbao, Spain, shuttling digital data across 6,600 kilometers of ocean. Providing up to 160 terabits per second of bandwidth–about 16 million times the bandwidth of your home Internet connection–it will allow the two tech titans to more efficiently move enormous amounts of information between the many computer data centers and network hubs that underpin their popular online services.

Nearly 16 decades later we have Facebook and Microsoft collaborating on the newest underwater cables.

The speed is huge: 160 Tbps (terabits per second). That’s 160 million Mbps (megabits per second). What does that really mean? Gmail’s attachment limit is 25mbps – some of us have complex spreadsheets that size and larger. In one second, 6.4 million attachments of that size could fly through that cable. That’s in one second!

Fort Myers, Florida 16 Students Disciplined After Performing Sex Acts in School Bathroom. Teen Girl Filmed Having Sex Was Human Trafficking Victim – CWEB

CWEB.com – Multiple male students from South Fort Myers High School are believed to have had sex with a 15-year-old female in a campus bathroom after school ended Tuesday.

This young 15 year old girl goes into a bathroom with 25 guys, has sex with at least 16 of them and they weren’t even going to do anything until the video surfaced and pushed them into a corner where they had no other choice but to react to this horrific sexual abuse crime. Even if it was “consent”, a 15 year old can’t give consent in the state of Florida, least of all to 25 men on school grounds.

South Fort Myers High School Bathroom Sex Video: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know. Parents, students and staff have expressed shock after a 15-year-old girl had sex in a Florida high school bathroom with more than two dozen boys, authorities say. The incident, which was recorded on cell phones, occurred after school last Tuesday, May 17, at South Fort Myers High School, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office told the News-Press. Here’s what you need to know:

1. 25 Boys Were Seen Entering the Bathroom While the Girl Was Inside The investigation into the incident began on Wednesday, and a deputy reviewed security camera footage which he says showed 25 boys entering the bathroom during the time that the girl was inside, the News-Press reports. Principal Melissa Layner told the newspaper she spoke with the girl, who “confirmed that she had sex with a number of willing males.” Authorities did not say how many of the boys had sex with the girl. “I just don’t see how that could’ve happened because there is so much security in there,” student Erin Bollinger told WINK-TV. “Like the teachers are really on top of all of that.”

2. Video of the Incident Was Posted to Snapchat by One of the Boys. One of the videos was posted to Snapchat, and a saved version eventually leaked to social media. “I’ve just heard that they were all filming it and I just think it’s really wrong. That shouldn’t have happened. They locked themselves into the bathroom,” Lisa Purnell, who was picking up a student at the school, told WBBH-TV.
The graphic video, showing the girl engaging in multiple sex acts with several boys, made its way to Twitter, where it was shared by thousands, including one account with 149,000 followers, @lil_boosie4, which has since been suspended by Twitter.
“She said mom this girl head was in the toilet bowl and she looked like she was dying and there were a whole bunch of guys in there taking turns with her. It is child porn and it is happening right here in front of our face in front of our children’s face,” a mother, who asked not to be identified, told WINK-TV. “I heard a video was around but I never really saw it or anything. It just like circulated around,” student Petislin Cadeau told WFTX-TV.

3. The Girl’s Mother Does Not Plan to Press Charges, but the Students Involved Were Disciplined by the School & Police Are Still Investigating

The girl’s mother told the Lee County Sheriff’s Office that she and her daughter do not want to press charges.

Last week, the sheriff’s office said it would not be investigating, but on Monday, it told WINK-TV that it would be looking into the incident, along with the Department of Children and Families.

CWEB.com – President Obama headed to Vietnam this week, the third U.S. president to do so in just over 20 years. In the many ways we’re engaging with the Vietnamese people, the President highlighted trade as one of the most important:

We’re pushing very hard for the Trans-Pacific Partnershipâ€Š–â€ŠTPP. Because what that does is it reduces the barriers between countries for selling their goods and services. It gives opportunities not just to big companies but also to small companies to enter into the global supply chain.

It raises labor standards and environmental standards so that all countries are working on a level playing field. And if we can get that doneâ€Š–â€Šand the goal is, I think, to try to complete TPP before the end of this yearâ€Š–â€Šthen that will open up a lot of opportunities, and create great confidence among investors here in Vietnam and U.S. companies who are interested in working with young people like you who may have a great idea.

In listening to his remarks, I couldn’t help think back to my first trip abroad with the President. As a video producer at the White House, it’s my job to document what President Obama does and whom he meetsâ€Š–â€Šand this time, I got to do it in Turkey, the Philippines, and Malaysia. It was a 10-day whirlwind.

Normally, our setting is the inside of a conference room or convention center for the myriad of bilateral meetings and summit working sessions the President participates in with other world leaders.

But when we made it to the third country of the 10-day trip, I had the rare opportunity to venture outside of the presidential “bubble” and into Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on the hunt for something we might recognizeâ€Š–â€Šproducts stamped with those three proud words: Made In America.

The President had just finished talking about the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade agreement with the U.S. and the Asia Pacific to export more of our goods abroad and support good-paying jobs at home. Put simply, more and more American entrepreneurs are looking to expand in the Asia Pacific, home to some of the fastest-growing markets in the world. And business leaders abroad are looking to import more American goods.

So why not head out and find the businesses he’s talking about? What kind of American exports make their way to KL? I wanted to see for myself, and hear what business owners abroad thought of the TPP and American-made goods.

From craft beers and sea bass, to blenders and bourbon, check out the popular American products that fly off the shelves in KL.

Meet the Yeaps, passionate curators of home goods who said they love selling American products.

johhnyamber

CWEB.com – The actress filed for divorce from Johnny Depp on Monday due to “irreconcilable differences,” outlets reported, citing court documents. The couple was married for only 15 months. Fifteen months ago Johnny Depp and she were married and now she’s filed for divorce and is asking for spousal support. After fifteen months no person on this planet deserves spousal support after fifteen months. In fact living in the year 2016 with all the equality and female empowerment, the world’s spousal support and phrase “lifestyle they have grown accustomed to” should be stricken from divorce law. Now is the cruelest of time to leave someone’s life. It’s only two days after Mama Depp has passed away and Amber runs to file for divorce. If that isn’t proof enough that she didn’t care about him or his mother, she then asks for ‘spousal support’. But for what?! They had no children together; she just wants to keep up her ‘accustomed lifestyle’. Johnny is worth more than $400m and the sad part is that he had no pre-nap in place when they married. “There’s no fool like an old fool” they say and Amber Heard found herself a rich one.

Our Take: We hope all works out for Johnny Depp and his family and also Amber Heard is young talented actress and has bright future.
