COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Nov. 13, 2013) – Prior to the 2013 NORCECA Continental Championship in September, Lloy Ball visited with the U.S. Men's National Team in Anaheim, Calif.
|The U.S. Men get excited during player introductions.
Ball, the four-time Olympic setter who capped his career with the U.S. Men's Team with an Olympic gold medal in 2008, came away feeling positive about the team's prospects.
"I was impressed with the level of play in the gym," Ball said. "The team trained at a high energy level with focus and attention to detail.
"I think John (Speraw) and his staff have the team in the right path to not only be medal-ready in Rio, but much before that."
The U.S. Men proved Ball right by winning the gold medal at the NORCECA Championship. With the victory, they earned the right to try for their second medal of the 2016 Olympic quadrennial on Nov. 19-24 at the FIVB World Grand Champions Cup in Japan.

But winning another medal will not be easy as the U.S. Men, ranked No. 4 in the world, will have to play No. 1 Brazil, No. 2 Russia and No. 3 Italy along with No. 12 Iran and No. 17 Japan.
"We know we are going to be playing some very good volleyball teams that have been playing well," Speraw (Los Angeles) said. "We're looking forward to it. Our ability to adapt will be critical."
Brazil, Iran, Russia and the United States all qualified for the Grand Champions Cup by winning their zone championships. Italy was invited with a wild card and Japan is competing as the host country.
Brazil is ranked No. 1 in the world by the FIVB. Russia is No. 2 and Italy No. 3. The U.S. Men are ranked No. 4. Iran is ranked No. 12 and Japan, led by former U.S. Men's Assistant Coach Gary Sato, sits at No. 17.
The U.S. Men have played Brazil twice this year in World League pool play matches, losing 3-1 and 3-0. They played two scrimmages against Japan while training in Tokyo during the week before the Grand Champions Cup.
"We're going to have a wonderful opportunity to train with the Japanese at the Japanese Institute of Sports Science," Speraw said. "We're very grateful to the (Japan Volleyball Association) for the opportunity and look forward to training against Japan as we practice."
The U.S. Men have not faced Russia and Italy since the 2012 Olympic Games (where they fell to both European sides) and they last faced Iran at the 2011 FIVB World Cup, where they defeated the Asian zone champions 3-0.
After a 12th-place finish at the 2013 FIVB World League that saw the U.S. Men miss out on playing in the Final Round, Speraw is glad to have the opportunity to play some more top teams.
"As we prepare for the 2014 World Championship, the opportunity to play other teams is of great benefit to us and our preparation," he said.
Speraw also said that had and his staff are far from finished evaluating talent as the team takes the long view toward the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
"I think we're going to keep evaluating players for some time," he said. "We have the potential through that process to develop some depth, which is what the top teams in the world are doing."
No matter what the outcome of the Grand Champions Cup, Ball has high hopes for the future of the U.S. Men's National Team.
"I believe USA Volleyball should and can be a realistic champion in every tournament, every year," he said.

|"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really exists), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.
- "Paracelsus (1493—1541): Contemporary of Copernicus and Leonardo Da Vinci. A medical genius whose bold theories challanged[sic] medieval thought. Credited with discovering Parseltongue."
- —Chocolate Frog Card.[src]
Phillipus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim[1] (1493—1541), more commonly known as Paracelsus, was a wizard and secretive alchemist about whom very little is known.
In his lifetime, he contributed heavily to the field of medicine, having been a notable physician.[2] Paracelsus's bold theories challenged medieval thought. Paracelsus was credited with the discovery of Parseltongue.[3]
He was featured on a Chocolate Frog Card. Harry Potter received this card from a Chocolate Frog on his first ride aboard the Hogwarts Express in 1991.[4]
There was a bust of Paracelsus in a corridor at Hogwarts. In 1995, while on his way to the Owlery, Harry Potter ran into Nearly Headless Nick, who warned him that Peeves was planning to drop the bust on the head of the next person who walked down the corridor. Harry thus chose to take an alternate route to the Owlery.[5]
Behind the scenes
- The actual Paracelsus was a man born in 1493 in Switzerland. He was born Phillip Von Hohenheim, but changed his name to Philippus Theophrastus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim, then to Paracelsus. He has made many contributions to medicine. He believed every human needed a balance of minerals and metals in their body and he was the first to use minerals and metals as medicine. Paracelsus also studied psychotherapy, and was the first to understand the subconscious.

The graphic would be more awesome if the the lines thickness were weighted by something like market cap or customer deposits.
[Comment at 10/06/2011 10:17 AM by Anonymous]
The graphic would be even more awesome if the tie in to monopoly could be explained.
[Comment at 10/06/2011 05:17 PM by Anonymous]
Isn't the tie in to monopoly quite obvious? Where there once were 37 companies in a particular market, there are now just four. That's 1/9 as much competition as there was just 20 years ago. How can that possibly not be relevant here?
[Comment at 10/07/2011 08:37 AM by None Of Your Beeswax]
I see that. The issue I have is that the complaints here are typically related to government sponsored monopolies. If anything, the government has prevented further consolidation of the banking industry. Had the government not stepped in, it is quite possible there would only be one line on the chart above instead of four.
In some industries where margins are low or where investment costs are high, consolidation seems to be the trend regardless of whether government sponsored monopolies exist.
[Comment at 10/09/2011 06:11 PM by Anonymous]
Well, first of all, the site's name is just "Against Monopoly", not "Against Government-Sponsored Monopoly". And secondly, government regulations create significant artificial barriers to entry in the banking and finance sector. There's a whole damn regulatory *agency*, the SEC, just for them. Relaxing antitrust and similar regulations, without relaxing the ones that create the barriers to entry, results in what you see in the graph above. Back in the days of the Wild West there was little banking regulation at all and a diversity of players (but, no deposit insurance or other consumer protections to speak of, either).
Banking was better before a Republican congress started monkeying, in 1998, with the regulatory structure of the industry. If you examine the chart above there were only a few mergers before that -- and a ton in 1998 itself, and a ton more since then.
We also had had almost no significant market downturns since *World War II* until shortly after 1998. Recessions were weak and infrequent. Then there was a large recession in 2000 that evaporated *trillions* of dollars from the stock market, which was a pipsqueak compared to the mortgage meltdown in 2008 -- for two significant downturns in less than the next ten years. The latter has seen the largest percentage drop in GDP since the second world war ended and the highest unemployment rate since the *Great Depression*. It's also the longest since the Great Depression ... and still ongoing, to judge by the present unemployment rate which has still not dropped to pre-2008 levels.
To find comparably bad recessions farther in the past, you generally need bank failures, in quantity. Before 2008 the biggest bank failure event was the Great Depression. Before that, they, and bad recessions, happened frequently during the era of totally unregulated Wild West banking, but had become rare after banking regulation began ... aside from the Great Depression.
[Comment at 10/10/2011 07:36 AM by None Of Your Beeswax]
It would be interesting to see exactly what led to the mergers and also to see how that now plays with the SEC preventing further consolidations. Meaning, are there two different government intents now fighting with each other, one that encourages consolidation and one that prevents it?
I was quite amused to learn that prior to the Great Depression that bank failures en masse were a relatively frequent phenomenon. The bank failures seemed to occur for a variety of reasons, often leading to a domino effect. Sadly, depositors and investors frequently got caught in the failures, leading to widespread economic distress.
Government regulation may have decreased the frequency of such events, but it has not prevented them.
[Comment at 10/10/2011 06:28 PM by Anonymous]
In a bit of irony, the bill that was passed in 1999 (there was a temporary waiver in 1998) actually DECREASED government regulation. That decrease in government regulation caused banks specializing in different financial areas to merge.
Another thing that has encouraged banks to merge is that some of the merged banks were not all that strong financially. The weaker fish were eaten by the stronger fish. In the olden days, the weaker fish might have failed, only to be replaced by other weak fish.
The graph above is also slightly misleading. While the graph is focused on some of the largest banks in the United States, it neglects to point out that there are still more than 6,000 banks in the United States, with an average of 120 new startups each year for the last twenty years.
In spite of new entrants, as the government encourages stronger banks to support weaker banks and as the government seems intent on decreasing regulation, consolidation appears inevitable. FDIC information indicates that in spite of approximately 120 new entrants per year, and in spite of a decreasing number of failures, the number of banks in business is declining by hundreds per year because of consolidation, aided by decreased government regulation.
Here is a question: If the purpose of this site is to be against monopoly, and decreased government regulation causes a tendency toward consolidation, though perhaps not monopoly, and this site is also nominally against government regulation, how is the present consolidation of the banking industry slowed or stopped without government interference?

This Austin band made a name for itself with concept albums that dealt with popular culture, the rock 'n roll lifestyle and heroin addiction. Now Okkervil River has released 'I Am Very Far' -- a set of songs that defy any one theme, but still feel connected. Frontman Will Sheff and the band recently shared a few of the songs and stories, during a Studio A session with FUV's Russ Borris. [05/11/2011]

The outrage that greeted the baffling bouncing of Pia Toscano from "American Idol" overshadowed another disturbing omen: last week's bottom-three finish of Jacob Lusk.
That the two strongest contestants finished in the lower third doesn't bode well for "Idol" in a pivotal season that has proven full of surprises – good and bad.
The new judging lineup, defying all expectations, is great. Ditto for the contestants, who are the best in years. Now, with the show headed into its crucial final weeks beginning Wednesday night, all we need is the public to get its act together – because only America can save "American Idol."
If that sounds melodramatic, it's a pronouncement befitting an emotion-machine of a show that defied the odds to make us care again, a year after even the then-in-flux panel seemed to lose interest in an unusually weak crop of wannabe pop stars.
It's been a season of renewal for "Idol": Steven Tyler's infectious ants-in-his-leather-pants energy, Jennifer Lopez' mix of empathy and well-reasoned critiques – combined with a relatively serious and subdued Randy Jackson – are a collective lesson in chemistry creation. The trio picked a talented group of finalists who actually seem to be getting better week to week – improvement that can be attributed by mentoring led by Interscope honcho Jimmy Iovine.
Allowing online voting also seemed a smart attempt to reduce the perceived advantage for contestants favored by the AT&T-dominated South. But the first major sign all was not well came last month, when quirky rocker Casey Abrams was voted off – prompting the judges to use their only "save" of the season to spare him.
Perhaps they wished they hadn't last week when Toscano got booted. We could chalk up her ouster to a stunning, but relatively rare instance of the voters being far out of sync with the judges – and seemingly with much of the rest of viewing public. But her expulsion, coupled with poor showings by Abrams, who we'd rank in the top half of the remaining eight, and Lusk, who is the best of the crew, portends bigger problems.
We're not sure what's happening, whether it's a quirk of the new voting system or a sign of some kind of larger pop-cultural shift. An age of Bieber-crazed teenyboppers might not make for easy going for female contestants (we could be headed to an all-male final three – there hasn't been a female winner since Jordin Sparks in Season 6). Then again, it's also the age of Gaga and her own strange brand of girl power.
Nigel Lythgoe, who returned as the show's executive producer this season, mused to Yahoo! about possibly letting the judges next year decide week-to-week on which of the bottom three vote getters goes, as with his other talent show, "So You Think You Can Dance."
Part of the charm of "Idol," though, has been its curious form of text-till-you-drop democracy, even if that's brought temporary setbacks to the likes of Jennifer Hudson, Melinda Doolittle and, now, Toscano. But this time, it's less about the contestants and more about the overall momentum and direction of the show.
"Idol" has staged a remarkable comeback – now it's time for the audience to rebound.

Revised 004-8 considering the Harmonic Sequence "Paradox"
Robert William Vivian1
School of Economic and Business Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg
Blavatskyy (2006) formulated a game of chance based on the harmonic series which, he suggests, leads to a St Petersburg type of paradox. In view of the importance of the St Petersburg game in decision theory, any game which leads to a St Petersburg game type paradox is of interest. Blavatskyy's game is re-examined in this article to conclude that it does not lead to a St Petersburg type paradox.

brainstorming(redirected from brainstorms)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Idioms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.
A usually informal meeting in which participants try to think of ideas to solve a problem or accomplish a goal. The idea behind brainstorming is to come up with as many suggestions as possible, in hopes that one of them will stand up to scrutiny and become the solution. Criticism is discouraged during brainstorming, and participants are encouraged to discuss unusual proposals and to build upon what others say. This is a common and useful way to solve problems both in business and in other situations.

Lots of Love Cricut Card
I had the idea for this card in my head for a while. I finally found some time to put it all together. I wanted to use the jar from the Doodlecharms cartridge. I punched out several small hearts with a small heart punch in various shades of pink and red. I then cut out the jar on white card stock, silver card stock, and then with a transparency. I cut off the lid and accent from the silver piece and layered them on top of the transparency. I glued all the hearts down to the white card stock piece and then used a 2-way glue pen to attach the transparency to the white card stock.
For the sentiment, I used THIS set from Martha Stewart to create my exact phrase. I topped it off with 2 more hearts covered in glossy accents. I used the Elegant Edges cartridge to cut out the pink heart background piece. If you have any questions, please let me know!
Thanks for looking!!

Canvas and Vinyl
All the canvases are 11"X 14" (except for the family tree) I started by painting all of them with regular acrylic paint and a sponge brush. I then designed all the images on my Gypsy and cut them out using my cricut and matte vinyl. Many of the images I did have to use my craft knife to get the layering just right, but it wasn't too bad.
My sweet husband then sealed all of them with a Krylon clear gloss sealer. In all I created 15 different canvases.
I created to of the tractor canvases. On the sports ball canvas--after it was sealed with the sealer, the layers under the football were not nearly as harsh. In fact I think that was the best one of all.
Leah's canvas was covered in layers, and layers, and layers of spray glitter. this picture does not do the glitter justice. I also attached some pink rhinestones onto the crown. She is the only girl in a house of 3 brothers.....she was in love with her princess canvas!
For my twin nieces, I created mirror canvases for their room. I also sprayed them with the spray glitter, but their coats weren't quite as thick as Leah's.
My nephew LOVES Transformers. Oh how I wish that Cricut would have come out with a Transformers cartridge. I used metallic vinyl and hand-cut this image. I found a .jpeg online and used adobe to create two layers of the image (the black background and then silver layer). He loved it!!!
For my mom and my mother-in-law I created family tree canvases. These canvases were 16"X 20". I cut the leaves out and layered them on one by one. I then used timber brown stazon to add some dimension to the leaves. On the second one that I made I randomly layered a darker green leaf to add more contrast. The hearts are red vinyl layered onto cardstock and then popped up on top of the canvas so the family can be easily expanded!!
If you have any questions, let me know!! Thanks for looking!!!

Classroom Valentine's Day Treats
I'm always thinking of something special to make my students for the holidays. I know that they will probably rip into them and tear them up, but maybe one of them will remember how special they were to them. I loaded up some small cellophane bags with the all time favorite conversation heart candies. I used the Doodlecharms cartridge to create the letter die cut and used a white gel pen to accent the die cut. I cut a pink heart and popped it up onto the die cut.
My students always love pencils and erasers. I also used Doodlecharms cartridge and my gypsy to create the holder. I designed the scalloped heart in one layer of my gypsy. I used the oval shape from George and created the holes for the pencil. I then created the heart (red) later in a second layer in my gypsy. I grouped the holes from the scallop heart and then copied and pasted them onto the second later with the red heart. I lined them all up on top of the scallop layer so that when I cut them both out, they would line up perfectly! I then stamped a sentiment and used metallic pencils to color the hearts in. I then attached a heart eraser above the sentiment with a glue dot!

It's Been a While.....
Yep, it's been a while since I've posted. I'm sorry. Life has gotten a bit busy for me lately. I spent some time in my scrapbook room this weekend and I'll have projects to show you later this week. I hope everyone is having a great start to the new year and is enjoying some crafting fun!!! One of my goals this year is to get back on track with my scrapbooking. Weddings, showers, weddings, showers, and more showers have put my scrapbook stories on hold for the last year and a half. Yes, I said a whole year and a half!!! I always date the back of my pages as to when I complete them and while looking through some of my scrapbooks today, I noticed the last one that I completed was in July of 2010. That's WAY to long!! That means that I have a LOT of memories to catch up on!! I hope to get a great deal of that accomplished this year. I have the pictures and the supplies....now if I can just find the time!!!!!
Until later....happy crafting! :)

With GPE's support, partner countries have progressed in making their education systems stronger – through improved sector planning, more robust learning assessments and better data and monitoring tools.
GPE helps partner countries reach the most disadvantaged and marginalized children, increase domestic and external financing for education, improve the quality and availability of learning materials, and increase the number of qualified teachers.
GPE grants, along with the support from other partners, are giving millions of children the opportunity to learn, putting them on the path to reach their full potential.
7 ways GPE achieves results
We build stronger education systems
GPE supports partner countries to strengthen their national education systems in order to increase the number of children who are in school and learning. Strong education systems can ensure that all children have access to quality education and can endure for future generations.
77% of children completed primary school in partner countries in 2016 compared to 63% in 2002
85% of children in Ethiopia are enrolled in primary school today, compared to just 50% in 2004
In 2018, 88% of children in early grades living in remote regions have acquired basic reading and math skills, compared with 37% in 2016
We work to put gender equality at the heart of education systems
GPE works to remove barriers that keep girls from school and promotes gender equality by funding gender-responsive strategies, collecting gender-disaggregated data and supporting governments to establish data systems to reveal inequalities.
67% of partner countries had as many girls as boys completing primary school in 2016 compared to 42% in 2002
87% of girls enrolled in primary school in 2015 compared to just 44% in 2002
We help children who are hardest to reach, in particular those in conflict situations
GPE supports the countries with the greatest education needs, including nations with high numbers of out-of-school children and low school completion rates. Nearly half of GPE partner countries are affected by fragility and conflict.
US$5.3 billion in grants have been allocated since 2003 to reach the children most in need, including US$2.4 billion to partner countries affected by fragility and conflict
We support teacher training and better allocation of teacher within countries
Teachers are central to children's learning. GPE supports developing countries to improve the quality of education by ensuring all teachers are qualified, motivated, and well supported.
347,000 teachers were trained with support from GPE grants in partner countries in 2018
is using a biometric system to monitor teacher attendance and reduce absenteeism
Our partnership approach delivers greater impact
GPE's unique model brings together all education partners in local education groups in support of developing countries' priorities. Together, partners contribute at all phases of the education planning cycle, from sector analysis to evaluation. This inclusive approach strengthens the credibility and relevance of education plans and aligns partners behind the priorities outlined in the plan, ensuring reforms are strongly endorsed by all stakeholders.
100% of education sector plans assessed in 2018 met quality standards, compared to 58% in 2014/15
Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, DRC, Ghana, Madagascar, Nepal, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia (Puntland and Somaliland), Tanzania-Zanzibar
We increase and improve financing for education
GPE creates incentives for partner countries to develop financially sustainable education sector plans, increase national budget allocations and improve the quality of education expenditure. Over time, partner countries have consistently shown that they increase domestic budgets dedicated to education at a faster pace than other developing countries.
GPE also advocates for more aligned and harmonized funding to ensure the impact is maximized, and that resources are allocated to the priorities outlined in the countries' education plans.
65% of GPE partner countries have maintained their education budget at or above 20% of public expenditure or increased their education budget in 2017
increased its overall budget share for education from 22% in 2014 to 26% in 2017
increased its overall budget share for education from 16% in 2014 to 20% in 2017
We invest in data systems to monitor progress and drive better decision-making
By supporting developing country governments to put in place the right systems, GPE helps improve their capacity to collect and analyze education data. Only then are governments able to make decisions based on evidence.
48% of partner countries have a quality learning assessment system in place in 2018, compared to 40% in 2015
GPE supported Sudan to conduct the first national assessment of early grade learning. A second assessment of grades 3 and 6 was conducted in 2018
With support from GPE, Kenya developed an Education Management Information System (NEMIS) to address disparities in education access, retention and completion
Results Report 2020
The Results Report 2020 demonstrates the progress the partnership has made in educating the world's most vulnerable children and provides the foundation for evaluating its work and charting a path forward.

Founded in 1847, Carthage College is a four-year private college of the liberal arts and sciences, located in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Take a virtual tour.
"I love the neuroscience major! The opportunities it has given me so far are amazing."
"I have traveled to the Caribbean, attended a dance conference in Minnesota, and choreographed a piece for a student dance show. I feel so grateful for these opportunities, and I'm enthusiastic to experience even more."
"Carthage was the only school that allowed me the freedom to pursue all of my passions at once. Here I can study both international political economy and accounting as full majors, and add a minor."
"My favorite class has been Neuroscience Research Methods and Statistical Analysis. Being exposed to hands-on research so early in my college career makes me excited for the future — and makes me feel like I have an advantage."
"Never in my life have I worked on so many shows nonstop! The diverse ways in which I've helped with each production have been outstanding, and I wouldn't trade it for the world."
"My biggest surprise so far is how much I have grown to love this school. If I had attended another institution, I would not be nearly as happy, or be making as big of a difference. I would never want to go anywhere else."
"It was not easy to find a college that had Mandarin Chinese, dance, and chemistry. When I visited Carthage, I fell in love with the campus. The professors, staff, and students I've met make me feel right at home."
"I came in majoring in chemistry and minoring in Spanish. Now I'm majoring in exercise and sport science and minoring in business administration — and I still could graduate early!"
"The biggest surprise for me? How much I actually enjoy my classes."
"Carthage truly allows students to have experiences both in the STEM and fine arts fields."

After complaints, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority on Wednesday withdrew its proposed rule that would have required advisory firms to include a reference and a link to BrokerCheck on their websites.
FINRA had asked the Securities and Exchange Commission last September to approve further amendments to BrokerCheck that would have required advisors to include a BrokerCheck website link.
A FINRA spokesperson told AdvisorOne that FINRA withdrew the filing "in order to give further consideration to the comments received in response to the SEC's publication of the proposed rule change," and that FINRA plans to refile its proposal.
David Bellaire, executive vice president and general counsel for the Financial Services Institute, told AdvisorOne on Wednesday that FINRA's proposal, in its current form, was "unworkable."
Jonathan Henschen, president of the broker-dealer recruiting firm Henschen & Associates, says that "having BrokerCheck links on social media is unnecessary and extreme, perpetuating suspicion of representatives when it is not warranted."
In September, FINRA asked the SEC to amend FINRA Rule 2267, in an attempt to "to facilitate and increase investor use of BrokerCheck information," by requiring member firms to include a reference and a link to BrokerCheck on their websites and on certain websites maintained by, or on behalf of, any person associated with a member firm.
In other words, advisors would have to include a reference and link to BrokerCheck on their websites "or any other comparable Internet presence," Bellaire told AdvisorOne on Wednesday. "By extension, that would include social media accounts and potentially apply to some of the websites that act as aggregrators of advisors' biographical information."
The bottom line, says Bellaire, is that "FINRA's proposed rule did not provide the specificity and clarity that advisors would need to properly assess their compliance efforts." What's more, he said, "We also believed the issue would grow in complexity over time, as more Web technology was created and put to use."
For instance, with LinkedIn, advisors would not be able to share multiple website links on their profile page, Bellaire says, while on Twitter, there is a limited number of characters (160) in the personal description section, which would not be enough for the required BrokerCheck disclosures.
FINRA's proposal "could be done in a more limited fashion," Bellaire says, and "we welcome the opportunity to help FINRA find a workable solution."

Hundreds of Mexicans including law-enforcement officers have been murdered with guns traced back to the operation, which was handled by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (still known as ATF). "Project Gunrunner" weapons were also involved in the deaths of at least a few American agents including Border Patrol officer Brian Terry.
Under "Operation Fast and Furious," the Obama administration was deliberately providing sophisticated and powerful weapons to violent Mexican drug cartels — often using taxpayer money. He was simultaneously campaigning for stricter U.S. gun control by citing violence in Mexico.
The U.S. Congress was kept largely in the dark about the scheme until whistleblowers within the ATF started coming forward. And according to officials south of the border, the Mexican government was not informed of the scheme either.
"At no time did we know or were we made aware that there might have been arms trafficking permitted," Mexican Attorney General Marisela Morales told the Los Angeles Times in a recent interview. "In no way would we have allowed it, because it is an attack on the safety of Mexicans."
Morales apparently found out about the deadly U.S. program by reading news reports. And she says Mexico still has not received an explanation from American officials — let alone an apology.
While reluctant to speak out before the results of pending American investigations, the chief Mexican law enforcement officer told the Times that purposefully allowing guns into the hands of Mexican cartels would be a "betrayal" of her country. And according to Congressmen probing the gunrunning scheme such as Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), that is exactly what happened.
"The ATF is supposed to stop criminals from trafficking guns to Mexican drug cartels, [but] was actually making that trafficking of arms easier for them," said Sen. Grassley on the Senate floor earlier this year. "The government actually encouraged gun dealers to sell multiple firearms to known and suspected traffickers."
It later emerged that taxpayers were even financing at least some of the weapons, and that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder was lying when he claimed not to know about the program. In fact, he had boasted about it by name before the scandal exploded.
This month it was also revealed that the White House had also been briefed about the program on multiple occasions. Several high-ranking officials have already resigned, but activists are still hoping that a special prosecutor will hold senior officials accountable in a court of law.
In addition to Mexico's Attorney General and numerous federal representatives, another outraged Mexican prosecutor who spoke to the Times takes the issue personally. Patricia Gonzalez, the former chief prosecutor for the Mexican state of Chihuahua, blames the Obama administration's weapons trafficking for the brutal slaying of her brother.
In 2010, Mario Gonzalez was tortured and executed by a cartel hit man who forced him to "confess" on video that his sister was being paid off by criminals. The killer's arsenal included AK-47s provided by the U.S. government.
The officials who approved Fast and Furious "caused the death of my brother and surely thousands more victims," said Gonzalez, the ex-prosecutor for Chihuahua. Despite her close ties to U.S. officials, she also found out about the link between her brother's murder and the ATF scheme from media reports.
Widespread corruption is the official reason cited for keeping the Mexican government out of the loop about Fast and Furious. The administration's justification for supplying the cartels with high-powered weapons was — supposedly — to trace them to drug kingpins later.
But analysts said the excuse was absurd for several reasons. More likely, according to critics, is that the Obama administration was using the gun trafficking program as part of its anti-Second Amendment campaign to further restrict the rights of law abiding Americans.
And if that was indeed the goal, the program can be called a success. In July, for example, Obama used an executive order to unconstitutionally sidestep Congress and impose more gun control — also in violation of the Constitution.
Recent reports have also suggested an even more sinister scenario: The Central Intelligence Agency played a key role in arming the cartels for geopolitical purposes. Other evidence, according to analysts, indicates that the CIA might have even allowed drug shipments into the country in collaboration with other federal agencies.
Several drug kingpins also alleged in recent months that the U.S. government was supplying the cartels' guns while allowing narcotics to be shipped across the border. So far the Justice Department has denied some of those claims, but not all.
More than 40,000 Mexicans have died in the last few years as a result of the war on drugs. But as fury over the Obama administration's gunrunning scandal continues to grow on both sides of the border, critics say it is time to get to the bottom of the U.S. government's role in the bloodshed.

High-profile Milwaukee police detective charged with using excessive force in questioning
A 12-year veteran Milwaukee police detective has been charged with misconduct in office after using excessive force during questioning.
Detective Rodolfo "Rudy" Gomez, 47, was charged with acting in excess of his authority in the questioning of a suspect in August.
VIDEO: Milwaukee police detective charged with misconduct in office
According to the criminal complaint, Gomez was assigned to assist with the investigation of the death of a child that was believed to be a homicide.
The complaint states that Gomez entered the interrogation room of the suspect, Deron Love, who had one hand cuffed to the wall of the room.
Investigators said Love at one point stood up, raised his right hand and began yelling angrily at Gomez.
According to the complaint, Gomez then pushed Love into a corner and punched him in the face and upper body several times. The complaint also states Gomez struck Love with his knee.
Investigators said Love did not strike back.
The complaint states a police lieutenant broke up the struggle, but Gomez returned several minutes later in order to assist moving the man from the interview room to a holding cell. During that encounter, Gomez reportedly grabbed Love's face and struck Love with his knee.
According to the complaint, experts in police detention and arrest techniques agreed that Gomez's use of force was excessive.
MPD officials said Gomez has been stripped of his police powers while the internal and criminal investigations continue. He was placed on full suspension, according to a Milwaukee police spokesman.
Gomez has had other run-ins with violence. He was arrested in 2012 for disorderly conduct and sexual assault after an incident in his north side home. In 2011, he was investigated after a man said Gomez punched him in the face.
The district attorney's office did not file charges against Gomez in either case.
In August, police told WISN 12 News that the latest allegation against Gomez could jeopardize the case against Love, who is charged with two counts of child abuse causing great bodily harm in the death of his 7-month-old son.
"With regard to pending cases, at this point, I don't anticipate him testifying in pending cases," Milwaukee County Deputy District Attorney Kent Lovern said.
If convicted of this most recent felony charge, Gomez could face more than three years in prison and $10,000 in fines.
The Milwaukee police union issued a statement Thursday afternoon saying, "Rodolfo Gomez is a credible hard working detective. The association is hopeful for a positive resolution."

DLC Status Update & More Of Sophia's Double
We mainly need to focus on the cum shots of scene 3 and scene 4 from this point on. As soon as we finalize the cum shots, we should be able to complete the scenes fairly quickly.

Juan di Santo commented on a recent post and brought the KOKET brand to my attention. I just love the elegance and simplicity of the designs, it's right up my street! The brand was created by New York born Creative Director Janet Morais, who wanted to inspire designers and push their creativity. She manages a team of super skilled artisans and jewellers who's skills are impeccable. The pieces are manufactured in Portugal and available to buy through Interior Designers.
I've chosen KOKETS' "Mandi Demi-Lune" stool simply for its beauty and striking gold turrets. This piece is designed to connote a cuff that a women would wear as a piece of jewellery around her wrist.
The base is made from stainless steel and the turrets from brass, the seat itself is low pile black velvet. The stool is 45 cm high and 53 cm wide and comes in black and gold or black and silver. Thank you Juan for telling me about KOKET their designs are exquisite.

On Thursday, October 20, 2011 Ella Burnside, a seventeen year old, Louisville high-school senior put together an amazing event called Taking on Goliath which benefited Joyful Heart Foundation. What started her freshmen year at Christian Academy as a writing assignment has transpired into her passion and mission for Joyful Heart Foundation. The foundation was founded by actress Mariska Hartigay, star of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.
Taking on Goliath was held at The Olmsted with a dinner, silent auction, a program and video by Joyful Heart. Joanna Colangelo, Joyful Heart Foundation's Manager of Corporate, Foundation and Community Relations came to read a message from Mariska to everyone and show their appreciation for all of Burnsides's hard work. Burnside and volunteers invited guests to sign letters to our president, vice president and attorney general telling our government officials that we want them to pay attention to the rape kit backlog. Joyful Heart announced this movement "End the Backlog" because there are over 200,000 sexual assault kits backlogged in the U.S.
Erika Chavez-Grazaiano owner of Cellar Door Chocolates was in attendance; showing her support as she partnered with Burnside by designing a chocolate box focused on the fundraiser which costs $20.00 per box and $10.00 of each box will go directly to Joyful Heart. It will be available until May 2012 and then will become a seasonal item. WAVE 3's Scott Reynolds was the gracious emcee for the event and the entertainment was performed by Danny Flanigan.
- How do you feel the event went?
"I feel the evening went incredibly! First of all, I felt no stress, which, knowing me, that is a shocker! The night felt warm, and friendly, and I feel like everyone there was happy and excited to be there, which made me feel at ease. I loved being able to talk to everyone who came to support my team and I, and Joyful Heart. Having Scott Reynolds there was an incredible blessing."
- What other events do you plan on doing over the next year for Joyful Heart Foundation?
"Right now, I am not quite sure. My parents really want me to focus on school and applying to colleges for now. We have our chocolate box with Cellar Door Chocolates that just came out, and the Christmas season is fast approaching. Hopefully that will really take off. I would love to have figure out a way to create more self sustaining ways to support Joyful Heart, like the chocolate box, because in reality, raising awareness, and raising funds, and changing our communities response to sexual violence is not going to happen on one night. It is going to take a lot more than a fundraiser every year or so. I think a 5-k could be cool. But, it's up to God. I am waiting to hear from him on what the next move should be."
- Which colleges are you thinking of attending? What Major are you considering?
"I am looking at all of the Kentucky Schools, Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama, and New York University. I really love Samford because it has a really unique business program called "Social Entrepreneurship." Basically, it is a business degree for people who want to go into Non-Profit work. I also want to get a double major with Journalism. If there is one thing I have learned about non-profit work through these fundraisers, it is that, if you want to gain corporate support, you have to be able to communicate effectively both through language and business. Right now my biggest limitation is my understanding of how business works. I have to constantly turn to Joyful Heart, my parents and other adults for help. I can't wait until I understand it all myself!"
- What else would you like to do in Louisville for the Joyful Heart Foundation?
"I would love to create more awareness. The most effective way to prevent a problem is to first make people aware of the fact that we have a problem! I'd really like to find other exciting ways to create on-going fundraising items like the chocolate box. I'd also like to get the word out more! I want to build our social media presence. I want to build the Taking on Goliath presence online as a way to bring in more young people, to bring more creative minds into the Taking on Goliath community, and most importantly to bring more people to Joyful Heart's larger community."
- Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I see myself "working in the non-profit arena; hopefully in New York City. I definitely want to live in New York, at least for awhile; it's been a dream of mine for a longtime. I don't have any plans to change my focus. Combating the issues of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse is my passion. I don't have plans to stop being passionate about these issues. As for where I am actually working, that's up to God and Joyful Heart" she says laughing.
- Is there any message or quote you'd like reader to know about your or Joyful Heart?
"I just want people to look at the issues. I understand that people are impressed by my age, and the things that I have already accomplished, but it's not about me, it is about Joyful Heart and what they are doing. I am simply trying to facilitate, and to connect people in this community with Joyful Heart's mission. The day is going to come where my age is no longer impressive; I am getting older. I just hope that people are still inspired by Joyful Heart and what other organizations similar to Joyful Heart are doing to raise awareness and change the world."

Special thank you to Sunny Daize Boutique for dressing Bella Portaro for the event.

I just came back from a few days at OOW, and it was fun. I shared a biggish apartment with Anjo Kolk, Krister (Sweden) and Oliver (Danish CSC), and it was beautiful to see the beer bottles (good beers, mind you!) gradually filling up the kitchen table allocated for that purpose.
On Sunday, November 11, I was invited to a seven-hour briefing for Oracle ACE Directors (I am such a thing). It was mostly about the Fusion Middle Ware (MW) and in the end a bit about the 11g database.
I have three observations:
1. During the MW presentations I saw more acronyms than in my entire military career.
2. 'Oracle' was the only word with less than seven letters in all those slides.
3. The best thing that can happen to any product is to be bought by Oracle. Turns out, that the purchase itself will transfer the product overnight from being worth-, use- and hopeless to being an absolutely state-of-the-art, best-of-beer product.
Interesting to learn that MW is database agnostic and Apps server agnostic. This obviously generates some interesting discussions inside Oracle.
And, man, do things change in the MW: Forget SOA, here comes SCA. Forget hub-and-spoke - it's just SO yesterday. Forget Portal - here comes WebCenter.
I am tempted to quote the standup comedian Billy Connolly, who said some years ago: "... and it will all change tomorrow, so f.... stay awake!"
Apart from that, it was a good day with knowledgeable presenters, and I learned a lot. Thanks to the Oracle ACE ladies (Emily & Victoria) for setting this up.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I simply set up a virtual office at the tex-mex restaurant Chevy's and met a bunch of friends from inside and outside Oracle during those days. It was good, and it generated a lot of good ideas.
There were 1600 presentations in total. 100 of these were database-related. Interesting.
