WASHINGTON, Nov. 19 (UPI) -- The USA Freedom Act, an attempt to reform and curtail government surveillance, failed to reach the 60 vote threshold necessary to pass the Senate, effectively killing the proposed legislation for the current session.
The Senate voted 58-42 to bring the USA Freedom Act to the floor, two shy of the required 60 votes.
"I am disappointed by tonight's vote, but I am not new to this fight," Vermont Senator and co-sponsor Pat Leahy wrote in a statement.
"Tonight, Senate Republicans have failed to answer the call of the American people who elected them, and all of us, to stand up and to work across the aisle. Once again, they reverted to scare tactics rather than to working productively to protect Americans' basic privacy rights and our national security."
Opponents of USA Freedom Act felt it undermined U.S. national security amidst global volatility.
"Proponents say this change is necessary to allay fears that the NSA could use telephone metadata to construct an electronic portrait of an American citizen's communications, and determine whether that person has, say, consulted a psychiatrist, or called someone elses' spouse," wrote former head of the CIA and NSA Michael Hayden in a Wall Street Journal op-ed co-penned by Bush administration Attorney General Michael Mukasey.
"However, only 22 people at the NSA are permitted access to metadata, and only upon a showing of relevance to a national-security investigation, and they are barred from any data-mining whatsoever even in connection with such an investigation. They are overseen by a Madisonian trifecta of the FISA court, the executive and committees of Congress. Those people and everyone else at the NSA live in constant dread of failing to detect a terrorist attack. Nonetheless, the sponsors of the USA Freedom Act prefer the counsel of hypothetical fears to the logic of concrete realities."

Freedom Foods signs dairy deal with Chinas New Hope Group
Australian food manufacturer Freedom Foods and its major shareholder the Perich Group have announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Chinas agricultural industry giant the New Hope Group.
The Memorandum was signed during the official ceremonies in Canberra while Chinas President Xi Jinping and Australias Prime Minister Tony Abbott signed the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement. This visit also coincided with a meeting of the Australia Sino Agriculture 100 meeting, which was attended by New Hope Chairman, Mr Liu.
We are pleased to announce the formal signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between New Hope Group, Perich Group and Freedom Foods Group, said Rory Macleod, Managing Director of Freedom Foods Group.
Under the Memorandum of Understanding, the parties will co-operate to develop and implement growth in long-term dairy milk supply through establishment of new large scale intensive dairy farms in South East Australia for supply to Freedom Foods Groups UHT operations and other potential processing operations in Australia including fresh milk.
Australia has a unique advantage in the supply and manufacture of high quality premium agriculture based foods, Mr Macleod said. With increasing demand from markets in China and South East Asia for high quality value added product, Australia through companies such as Freedom Foods Group and Perich Group are well placed to play an important role in the development of this supply chain, he said.
Mr Macleod said these supply arrangements would compliment sourcing from existing dairy farm supply to ensure the ability to meet long term supply requirements.
He said the arrangements envisaged will provide a unique collaborative business model to develop large scale dairy farms under Australian management and ownership. New Hope Group will be a core investor and partner in the operations, while continuing to market and distribute value added dairy products into China through New Hope Dairy.
New Hope Group investment fund to develop Australian activities
New Hope Group has established an investment fund of up to $500 million to be utilised in the development of agricultural and food processing activities in Australia, with a substantial proportion to be invested in dairy farm and processing activities in the longer term.

Extending a freedom camping trial to Dunedin's Bayfield Park might just spread the mess around, it has been claimed.
The concern was raised by a member of the public opposed to the Dunedin City Council's proposal to open up part of the Bayfield Park car park, in Andersons Bay, to freedom campers.
The proposal would see five spaces made available for use by freedom campers in vehicles without self-contained toilets.
The change would be part of an ongoing trial of more relaxed restrictions on freedom camping in the city, but was also designed to help ease the pressure on facilities at Macandrew Bay after public concern.
The council's proposal to open up Bayfield Park's facilities to freedom campers drew just two submissions, both opposed, during a month-long consultation process which ended on Monday.
One of the submitters, Wayne Allen, worried the area was not suitable and would encourage campers to use the nearby playground, bushes and even the inlet itself as their toilet.
Instead, they should be encouraged to use the city's existing commercial camping grounds, the nearest of which was just 2km from Bayfield Park, he said.
Council reserves and recreation planning team leader Richard Saunders said the submitters' concerns about freedom camping and the impact on the site would ''need to be considered'' before a decision was made.
It was not yet known if a public hearing would be needed, given the small number of submissions, he said.
''The process for deciding the issue has yet to be considered by the council, so we are unable to give a time frame at this stage for when, if approved, the site would be up and running.''

Twenty-Five Years of Freedom Through the Eyes of Czech and American Envoys - Video
AUSTIN Freedom to Marry, one of the most prominent same-sex marriage advocacy organizations in the nation, is launching a campaign in Texas to amplify its message ahead of an important appeals court hearing next year.
The organization will announce the "Texas for Marriage" campaign and unveil its accompanying website on Tuesday. It plans to spend roughly $200,000 on the effort, and will enlist Ward Curtin, three-time deputy campaign manager to Houston Mayor Annise Parker, and former George W. Bush adviser Mark McKinnon in its efforts.
"We want to make sure that the court hears that America is ready for the freedom to marry, and that includes Texas," Freedom to Marry President and CEO Evan Wolfson, considered by many to be the father of the modern gay marriage movement, told the Chronicle on Monday. "Obviously I would love to be everywhere, but we have to look where we can have a real impact."
The campaign will feature statewide TV ads, town hall meetings and efforts to bring together young conservatives ahead of the January hearing in the 5th Circuit Court challenging Texas' gay marriage ban. In February, San Antonio-based U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia ruled the ban unconstitutional because it violated gay couples' 14th Amendment rights to due process and equal protection.
Attorney General Greg Abbott, now the governor-elect, appealed the ruling to the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit Court. While the court initially indicated it would expedite a hearing, oral arguments were eventually set for the week of Jan. 5, 2015.
When asked how the enhanced effort would work in Texas, a strongly red state that just elected a full slate of new Republican leaders, Wolfson said candidates chose not to focus heavily on gay marriage this election cycle because opposition to the movement no longer sells like it used to.
"Whatever this election was about, it wasn't about the freedom to marry and it wasn't about gay people," said Wolfson. McKinnon, already the Texas chair for Freedom to Marry, said the issue was "a blip" on the election scene "because Texans from all walks of life, from big cities to small towns, believe strongly in freedom and family. Supporting gay couples marrying is squarely in line with these Texas values."
Freedom to Marry has launched similar efforts in about two dozen other states before similarly important court hearings there. Gay marriage is now legal in 33 states and the District of Columbia. While a recent circuit court decision upholding same-sex marriage bans in four states means the U.S. Supreme Court will likely review the issue, the Texas case will continue undeterred during that time.

Freedom to Marry launches statewide gay marriage campaign in Texas
Tue., Nov. 18 - Although Prince William County is largely made up of Group 6A high schools, the two Group 5A schools on the eastern end actually benefit to a certain extend from playing the bigger schools in varsity football. If nothing else, that experience surely didn't hurt Potomac.
By Jason S. Rufner and Dan Roem
Gainesville Times
Times Photo/Marny Malin Potomac sophomore running back Mike Hawkins takes the handoff and contributes a long gain. The Panthers defeated visiting Patrick Henry (Ashland) 31-28 on Friday night in Dumfries during the first round of the Group 5A North Region tournament. The Panthers head to Fredericksburg this Friday for Round 2 against another group of Panthers in undefeated host Massaponax.
If nothing else, that experience surely didn't hurt Potomac.
The Panthers advanced to the second region of the Group 5A North Region tournament on Friday with a close 31-28 win at home in Dumfries over Patrick Henry (Ashland) as a last-second field goal by the visiting team went awry, securing the victory for Potomac.
Potomac senior running back Jaren Johnson pounded in a trio of touchdowns and one more came from sophomore leading rusher Mike Hawkins to help the Panthers secure a trip to Fredericksburg this week to take on undefeated Massaponax in the second round.
Meanwhile in Ashburn on Nov. 14, Freedom faced a much more difficult task.
Freedom When they were down 35 points, playing on the road and in the cold versus a team with a better record and a more impressive pedigree, the players of the Freedom High School football program showed something to their supporters and to themselves.
That's when the Eagles (3-8) ran off 16 straight points and 22 of the last 28, refusing to go away quietly as they battled third-seeded Stone Bridge (9-2) to a 41-22 loss in the 5A North Region's first round.

The USA Freedom Act had the support of not only the White House and Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy but also that of Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, but the bid to reform the NSA failed late Tuesday after it didn't receive enough votes to cut off debate.
After a 58-42 vote, the measure had the support of the majority but it didn't get the 60 votes necessary to break a Republican filibuster. It was something of an odd end for a bill that had been approved by the Republican-controlled House back in May.
The USA Freedom Act sought to amend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, to "rein in the dragnet collection of data by the National Security Agency (NSA) and other government agencies, increase transparency of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court," as its chief House sponsor, Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., says in a summary on his website.
The Hill reports:
"The defeat of the legislation to stop the government's bulk data collection program will put off legislation responding to Edward Snowden's leaks about the controversial programs until next year."
Leahy, the Judiciary Committee chairman, said that in blocking the bill he had sponsored, his Republican colleagues "failed to answer the call of the American people who elected them, and all of us, to stand up and to work across the aisle. Once again, they reverted to scare tactics rather than to working productively to protect Americans' basic privacy rights and our national security."
Earlier Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., took a stand against the bill. Citing the U.S. fight against extremist terrorist group ISIS, he said, "At a minimum, we shouldn't be doing anything to make the situation worse. Yet, that's just what this bill would do."
Another "No" vote came from Sen. Rand Paul, who said that he voted against the bill because "it currently extends key provisions of the Patriot Act until 2017."
Digital rights group the Electronic Frontier Foundation said of the measure's failure, "We are disappointed that the Senate has failed to advance the USA Freedom Act, a good start for bipartisan surveillance reform that should have passed the Senate."
Leahy vowed to keep working to pass the bill, which sprang out of what the Two-Way called "an unusual alliance involving a prominent House Republican and a veteran Senate Democrat" when it was first introduced in October of 2013.

CHINESE giant New Hope will invest up to $500 million in Australian dairy farms and processing plants as part of a deal with ASX-listed Freedom Foods in what could be the first of many deals fuelled by the historic China-Australia free-trade agreement.
On Tuesday, Freedom Foods and the Perich Group said they had signed a memorandum of understanding with New Hope, China's biggest private agricultural company.
"With increasing demand from markets in China and south-east Asia for high-quality, value-added product, Australia, through companies such as Freedom Foods and Perich Group, is well placed to play an important role in the development of this supply chain," Freedom Foods managing director Rory Macleod said.
To secure milk supply, New Hope has established an investment fund of up to $500 million to invest in dairy farms and dairy processing.
Freedom Foods said it has built on its supply arrangements with New Hope for UHT [long-life] milk and it is considering collaboration in other strategic branded dairy operations in Australia and overseas to take Freedom Foods products to China.
Perich Group, New Hope and other investors will contribute most of the equity for farm investment, which will commence in 2015.
News of the deal comes on the back of Monday's free-trade agreement with China that gave Australia unprecedented access to the Chinese market.
Dairy producers fared particularly well, with all tariffs (up to 20 per cent) on Australian dairy eliminated in four to 11 years, depending on the product.
"We couldn't wish for a better deal. The agreement will do for us what it did for New Zealand. New Zealand [dairy] trade with China exploded after they signed their deal [in 2008]," Murray Goulburn managing director Gary Helou said.

It took Gour Hari Das three decades to wrangle out a certificate recognising his work as a freedom fighter. His struggle is now the subject of a film
In the dead of night during the mid-1940s, Gour Hari Das would customarily set out of his house and sprint alongside passing trains, relying on their beacons to guide his 14-year-old feet.
He was joined in this exercise by others roughly his age, all part of a group called the vanar sena that nimbly ferried covert messages and publications of the freedom movement.
Many years later, the same pair of legs tirelessly carried him up and down the stairs of government offices in Mumbai. The communication he sought this time was a certificate recognising his work as a freedom fighter - it took three full decades to arrive.
The prolonged personal tryst for acknowledgment got him more attention than even his participation in the freedom struggle. His travails form the subject of an upcoming film Gour Hari Dastaan - The Freedom File.
After reading a newspaper report, director Ananth Mahadevan was struck by the irony in Das' experience.
"Here was a man fighting for identity in a country that he helped to free," he observes. Mahadevan traced Das to his current home in suburban Mumbai and convinced him to share his story. The film, with screenplay by journalist and poet C P Surendran, has been shortlisted for screenings at three Indian film festivals so far.
In his first meeting, Surendran says he did not find Das terribly impressive but noted an understated grit about him. Mahadevan too was nonplussed during an initial interaction.
"Leave alone three decades, this man did not look like he could have fought for three days."
His largely self-effacing persona led the film's makers to play on silences.

(PRWEB) November 18, 2014
American 15-year-olds ranked 36th in the world out of 65 participating countries tested in math, 28th in science and 24th in reading. And measures to better student performance and literacy over the last decade and a half, beginning with No Child Left Behind, have only made things worse, writes Freedom reporter Ray Richmond.
Why? Many educators believe that centralized measures like No Child Left Behind and Common Core have given rise to a punitive testing culture and led to an overall compromise of American public school education.
Teachers are largely scapegoated for declining student performance, as in Time magazines November 3 cover story ROTTEN APPLES: Its Nearly Impossible to Fire a Bad Teacher, Some Tech Millionaires May Have Found a Way to Change That. But through interviews with veteran educators, Richmond discovers a very different picturethat teachers are not the problem, but the answer to the crisis in Americas schools.
