Tucked inside a massive spending bill intended to help victims of Hurricane Sandy but loaded with pork projects is $150 million for President Barack Obama’s ambitious plan to zone the oceans.
If approved by the House today, the money will go to a regional ocean partnership to help begin implementation of Obama’s highly controversial National Ocean Policy.
Human Events reported last year that the plan allows for Washington bureaucrats to take command of the oceans – and with it, control over the nation’s energy and fisheries in what lawmakers described as the ultimate power grab.
“This one to me could be the sleeping power grab that Americans will wake up to one day and wonder what the heck hit them,” Flores told Human Events.
The effects of Obama’s far-reaching policy would be felt by numerous industries including wind farms and other renewable energy undertakings, ports, shipping vessels, and other marine commerce, and upstream it would also affect mining, timber, even farming.
It will impact consumers directly through rules addressing recreational usesas fishing and boating, and restricting the multiple use development of the ocean’s resources would also increase the cost of fuel and food. http://www.humanevents.com/2013/01/15/breaking-150m-to-zone-ocean-tucked-inside-sandy-aid-bill/

Nearly fifty Michigan libraries and its state humanities council are receiving a collection of books, films and other resources about Muslims in the United States and around the world.
The Muslim Journeys Bookshelf collection was developed by the National Endowment for the Humanities and American Library Association. Each library will receive 25 books, three films and a year of access to Oxford Islamic Studies Online.
Officials say the program aims to introduce the broader U.S. public to the “complex history and culture of Muslims” through “trustworthy and accessible resources.”
The collection has been awarded to 842 libraries and institutions nationwide. https://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2013/01/15/taxpayers-stock-michigan-libraries-with-muslim-books-and-videos/

FEMA Spent $362K on Apparel for Sandy Relief Personnel According to the Federal Business Opportunities website, in the effort to support those affected by Hurricane Sandy, FEMA has spent more than$362,000 on embroidered apparel for FEMA personnel aiding in response operations.
FEMA employees deployed for the relief effort are outfitted in embroidered fleece lined jackets, long-sleeve shirts, polo shirts, baseball caps, and wool hats. The uniformed apparel seems redundant considering FEMA spent$65k on 5-point breakaway safety vests for the sole purpose of identifying Surge Capacity Force employees.
