In Benton Harbor, financial manager Joseph Harris’s order means city officials can only call meetings to order, adjourn them and approve minutes of meetings. All other decision–making powers rest with Harris. As Michigan AFL-CIO President Mark Gaffney says: With the stripping of all power of duly elected officials in Benton Harbor and the attack on Detroit school teachers, we can now see the true nature of the Emergency Manager system. This is a real life instance of taking away our fundamental rights… These new powers are taking away the will and voice of the people by stripping away the rights of public officials elected by Michiganders.

Collecting errant skin flakes in envelopes and labeling them by the hour and location when and where they were shed isn’t enough anymore. You’ve got to get those skin flakes on twitter!
In a continual effort to Breakthrough to New Audiences in New Ways, Human Dog will initiate a series of Mustard and Mustard-Related Item videos geared towards those embracing the Mustard-Centric Lifestyle.
Look forward this July to a 17 part series on "Things You Can Put Mustard On" as well as a companion E-Book Graphic Novel, "Things You Can Put On Mustard."
We'll also be freezing blocks of Mustard in our Bulk Freezer and leaving them there well after we've moved on to the next boarding house.
And of course we couldn't do any of this without the help of the fine folks at NewTek TriCaster.

Terrible.
They say he spoke Dinosaur. They say he fell asleep falling down the stairs. They say his heart was 15% bigger than a bison of comparable weight. They say he could lift entire municipalities, shake out all the bad and leave the good feeling better about being good. They say he breathed more oxygen than was necessary but he planned on returning it one day, in little glass bottles labeled with pen. They say he didn’t like numbers, didn’t trust their many curves. They say he once spoke to a river, learned its secrets. They say he admired bricks because they were pure. They say his friendship brought many rewards, chief among them access to a vast DVD collection including all nine seasons of Dallas and his discretion with your peculiar tastes. They say he put gravy on his cereal...
