Watchdog Bites OC Leadership AND NASA Astronaut Lands at Beckman Center

Shirley Grindle, OC campaign finance reform activist and TINCUP oversight volunteer, offers new blood an opportunity to assume her charge.  Since the 2008, the OC’s grand jury pronounced the need to create a Campaign Practices Commission; the need for public, county wide oversight of campaign finance persists. Shirley Grindle, a long term fixture in this enterprise, is ready to pass on the torch.

Next, in advance of her 2/18/18 appearance at the UCI’s Beckman Center, NASA astronaut and International Space Station veteran Tracy Caldwell  Dyson gives a personable look at the program.  From her selection into the astronaut corps to the projection of future space exploration, priviledged glimpses are offered. For additional information about the Beckman Center free public lecture on 2/18/14 at 7p.m., contact Melissa Sweet at 949-824-2628 or msweet@uci.edu

Assessing the Affordable Care Act AND Unnerving Trends in Human Development

 

Tom Buchmueller, healthcare economist at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, offers much needed, nuanced interpretations of the labor market and state/federal budget impacts from the Affordable Care Act.  Among the recent adjustments he covers are  the Congressional Budget Office’s February 2014 report as well as yesterday’s extension of the employer mandate.

Then, second guest Daniel Estulin, author of recently published, “Transformation: The Coming of Age of Human Deconstruction'” plots the dots along some unnerving trends in human development.  Starting with his early work tracking the influence of the Bilderberg Group, Estulin draws extensively on such sources as: the Strategic Trends Report, Codex Alimentarius,the Futures Group, Tavistock Institute, DARPA, In Q Tel with Bio Rad Laboratories, British Coefficients Club, CIA’s MK-ULTRA, The Project Pandora, Russia 2045, Project Quasar, and Timothy Thomas’ “The Mind Has No Firewall;” to name a few.  Daniel Estulin can be followed at: www.danielestulin.com and www.trineday.com.
