Drastic times
Thirty-five years ago, the US Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against what was then the only telephone company in the country, AT&T, setting in motion a long legal struggle that concluded eight years later with the monopoly being broken into pieces. It might seem far-fetched to suggest a similar fate could lie in store for the world's biggest banks, but one senior regulator in the UK believes that's exactly what some of his colleagues want to do. He points to the G-30 report on reform of...

Skip to comments.Rasmussen: Bounce over, Romney up 7 on economy
Posted on 09/13/2012 12:09:13 PM PDT by The G Man
Half the nations voters now trust Mitt Romney more than President Obama when it comes to dealing with the troubled U.S. economy, the number one issue on their minds as they go to the polls.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters trust Romney more when it comes to handling the economy. Forty-three percent (43%) trust the president more. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Although Romney has consistently led the president in regular surveying when it comes to the economy, this is the highest level of trust hes earned since May when 51% expressed more confidence in him. The gap between the two candidates had narrowed to four points 48% to 44% by late last month.
Eighty-eight percent (88%) of Republicans and 15% of Democrats have more faith in Romney when it comes to the economy. Seventy-nine percent (79%) of Democrats and eight percent (8%) of GOP voters trust Obama more. Voters not affiliated with either party are almost evenly divided: 44% for Romney, 42% for Obama.
(Excerpt) Read more at hotair.com ...
The ship is starting to right itself (again), thank God!
Let's see where we are next Tuesday or Wednesday. The economy isn't getting better, and now -bama's foreign policy has literally blown up in his face. It's taking some time for the reality of this to sink in for most people, as the media is running cover for -bama. But, the attacks on our embassies are not going away, they are spreading. And -bama is doing NOTHING, just out going to fundraisers.
As it sinks in for Americans that -bama means no international security AND no jobs at home, you will see a sea change in the polls that even lawsuits cannot paper over.
Obama has gotta go.....
Saw reported poll that said Obama more trusted in foreign affairs than romney by 44 to 39%... my god, what are these people thinking?
43% of Americans are insane.
Romney is going to win. It is not necessarily because he is so good but because Obama is so bad. Obama sealed his fate this week. Now that we are going to have President Romney, what on Earth is America going to look like in four years. That frightens me just as much as Obama's next four years. Romney is very liberal....we will still have Obamacare (maybe different name), we will still be adding to the deficit, we will still have abortion (hopefully he will at leat get rid of late term abortion, but I am not even convinced he is against that), we will still have gay mafia insisting on special interests and he is definitely for the gays. So I ask you what is going to make Romney a wonderful President? Not being Obama is not enough, it must be more than that.
More like a Clinton boing
... after the thrill is gone.
And next week O will be up and R down. Polling at this point has more to do with keeping the horse race mentality going then anything else.
Regular gas today is $4.29 today! That is not going to change much before 11/6! Keep reminding people of this! This Obama's fault!!
Don't forget the speech to his campaign volunteers in Las Vegas telling them that they are just like the diplomats who lost their lives.
The GOP PACs really need to run that as a commercial.
Note to self, stupid double negatives...
Help! Someone get me off the ledge up here on the 52nd floor.
Like Der Shlickmeister said: It's the economy, stupid.
The Democrats seem to have forgotten this fact. Their convention seemed to be primarily about birth control and abortion.
Maybe they are and maybe they are not
I suspect we are seeing a repeat of 1980. I think a lot of the Obama support is very very soft.
A whole lot of Democrats told pollsters they were for Carter then voted for Reagan.
In a lot of places the Democrat party is a religion. You toe the party line no matter how much you disagree with what is going on. So they will mouth all the party loyalty slogans until they get in the privacy of the voting booth. These are the Democrats that 0bama scorned as clinging to their God and their Guns in 2008.
In 2008 0bama was a blank slate who these voters could write anything they wanted on. Now he is a known quantity.
Going to be interesting to see if they show up on election day for O. All the polling is assuming, like they did in 1980, that these Democrats are going to show up and vote Democrat in Nov. Maybe they are and maybe they will not.
Bush's...stike that, make that Obama's fault.
One thing for sure about the next four years is people like you will still be whining and counterproductive
Todays' numbers are the first "reliable" 3 day numbers post conventions. Thursday - Saturday release assuming the Daily release are from previous day sampling. are the only days that contain NO WEEKEND DATA.
Obama having a bounce from the convention was laughable, the only bounce out of that convention would have been for Clinton, and it wasn't going to prop up this fool for any length of time.
Concern trolls, ABRs and DU trolls are sad.
"Nice. Keep it going."
Obama favors both Gay Marriage and Taxpayer funded abortion on demand up to birth. He required that both of these positions be added to the 2012 Democrat party platform.
I know you Conservatives to Reelect President 0bama (CREEP0) members don't like theses inconvenient facts about Obama being made public like this
The "Conservatives to Reelect President Obama" (CREEP0) members around here are on suicide watch today
What was your Rate in the Navy?
Let's see what the polls show after the last 2 days of ME unrest
I am fearful that the dopes in this country will rally to the Las Vegas poser
I checked out Intrade, expecting some good news.
Turns out Obama got a huge bump, since 9/11!
Even though I can't really afford it, I'll gladly pay $5 at the pump for a couple of months if it does the trick.
Regarding foreign policy, let's face it no one is addressing that issue.
I've always been more concerned with security issues, but Obama is so turning us leftward at home, I've been willing to go with the economy as the issue to beat him with.
But left wing foreign policy always leads to disasters. And Obama is bringing on the type of weakness and instability that can get us blindsided by a big war.
Romney might just be the right man at the right time. We need him. I'm thankful he's here. After he gets the economy fixed, people back to their jobs, and served his two terms - maybe we can elect a real conservative...
You're worried about a betting site?? Sheesh the bettors had the NY Giants heavily favored to beat the Cowboys last week
Chief Yeoman
I know you Romney types who slobber all over his ever word types, should know that I expect a Democrat to be for those things. However I DON'T EXPECT A DAMN REPUBLICAN TO BE FOR THEM TOO - YOU TWIT!!!!!
Mitt Romney's vice president July 2012
Paul Ryan Intrade chances: 4.1%
Rob Portman Intrade chances: 32%
The ship was never unrighted.....the polls were.
Oh, please. Records mean nothing to the desperate, and Romney's got one that's loud and clear. It's just that dragging a socialist Republican over the line rids us of imminent take over by foreign and domestic enemies, lined up by Obama.
You will be whining soon, under Romney, so keep naps handle handy. He's seen a thing or two and Romney is no rainbow.
ABH(8 Years) and IS(12/13 years) retired IS1
Cool. I used to hang with the ABH's when I was stationed on IKE. Good people and the IS's were cool in Korea when I was stationed there. Thanks for your service!!!!
I didn't say I was worried — I was surprised is all. You're free to bet against the crowd.

CHICAGO (April 16, 2013)--Alcoholics and drug addicts who currently lack insurance to help pay for treatment could overwhelm addiction services in less than a year when 3 million to 5 million people with addiction problems suddenly will become eligible for insurance coverage under the new health care overhaul.
An Associated Press analysis found that the number of people seeking treatment could double over current levels.
The new demand could swamp the system, causing waiting lists of months or longer.
In more than two-thirds of the states, treatment clinics are already at or approaching 100 percent capacity.
Addiction treatment may represent an extreme example of one of the Affordable Care Act's challenges: delivering the care that people are supposed to receive.


text: The monopolist of a good faces two groups of consumers. Each consumer in Group A has an inverse demand function given by P = 10 � Q. Each consumer in Group B has an inverse demand function given by P = 12 � Q. There are 100 consumers in each group. Marginal cost is 2 per unit for all units. You may assume that arbitrage is not possible. (a) Suppose that the firm engages in third degree price discrimination. Calculate the profit maximizing prices and the associated output and profit per consumer, and show your work. In which market is price higher? Explain. (b) Next, suppose that the firm wishes to use two part tariffs to engage in first degree price discrimination. What are the profit maximizing two-part tariffs to charge to each group? Explain and show your work. (c) Now, suppose that while the monopolist knows that the two groups exist, and that there equal numbers in each group, it does not know whether an individual consumer is in group A or group B. It plans to implement a form of second degree price discrimination by setting a single two part tariff. Will the optimal two-part tariff be either of those identified in (b), or something else? Explain. NOTE: you do not need to solve for the optimal two part tariff to answer this question. You may assume that units of the good are perfectly divisible if necessary. (d) Finally, continue to suppose that the monopolist cannot identify the group of an individual consumer, and suppose that the monopolist attempts to engage second degree price discrimination by offering the following pricing blocks: Block A: Receive 8 units of the good for a total price of $48. Block B: Receive 10 units of the good for a total price of $52. Given these two bundles, will all consumers choose to purchase, and will they separate themselves into their groups by the bundles they choose? Explain. Can this be the profit maximizing pair of bundles? Explain.

SALINA, N.Y. (AP) - Authorities say a double-decker bus heading to Toronto hit a railroad bridge in central New York, killing four people and injuring 25 others.
The Megabus was carrying 29 people, including the driver, when it rammed the bridge around 2:30 a.m. Saturday on the Onondaga Lake
Parkway in Salina, a suburb of Syracuse.
Onondaga County Sheriff Kevin Walsh says four passengers and the
driver remain hospitalized. Twenty passengers, including seven Canadian residents, were treated and released.
Walsh says he believes the bus made a wrong turn when getting off the interstate and was too tall to make it under the low-clearance bridge.
A spokesman for Coach USA, which operates Megabus, says the bus
left Philadelphia at 10 p.m. Friday heading to Toronto with stops in Syracuse and Buffalo.

Re: FAKO vs. FICO[ Edited ]

Why are the numbers so different? If only Equifax and TU can give you your real FICO scores, then why don't they do it on your actual credit report? And, if we were to refinance our car for a lower rate, which would the lender look at?
I know it gets confusing with the FICO vs FAKO thing.
1)EQ: Most of the stuff on their website is FAKO, if you look hard enough, you can find a FICO product, or you can buy from myFICO.
2)TU: From their website it's a FAKO, from myFICO it's an older version of your FICO score. They have different models.
3)EX: All FAKOS, EX doesn't allow consumer pulls of their FICO score. It must be lender pull.

Jacquelyn Martin, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Speaker John Boehner was desperate in his search for votes from his party to prevent a first-ever government default.
But despite what a GOP freshman called "hour by hour by hour" pressure from the Ohio Republican leader and his lieutenants, rank-and-file holdouts said they were neither offered carrots nor threatened with sticks to change their minds. That's a major transformation from the not too distant past.
There were no promises of new bridges or campaign help. No threats to boot members off coveted committees. And, if some of those tactics had been tried, it's unlikely that many House Republican tea party supporters would have been swayed. They came to Washington disdainful of such wheeling and dealing and promising to fix what members of both parties had come to describe as a culture of corruption.
Boehner, who has risen, fallen and risen again in the House GOP hierarchy, has long shunned earmarked "pet projects" and had no objection when more conservative deficit hawks succeeded in getting them banned.
One GOP holdout on the debt bill, Rep. Connie Mack of Florida, recalled a time early in his career when he was withholding his vote from the Republican leadership and saw "The Hammer" — then-Majority Leader Tom DeLay — walking toward him in the House chamber.
"He came over with a finger pointing at my chest," the four-term lawmaker said. "He was telling me what I'm going to do and why. He said, 'You won't make it long in this town'" by defying the party leadership.
Mack doesn't remember what the issue was, but he remembers not budging.
"The ways of the past are gone," Mack said. "There hasn't been a threat of taking something away or promising something. I can remember the hammer coming down on me. It's completely different, much more open and honest."
That doesn't mean there wasn't pressure, especially when Boehner had to postpone a vote on his legislation last week for lack of Republican support, and faced questions about his hold on the speakership.
"There was a constant barrage, hour by hour by hour," said freshman Rep. Steve Southerland, R-Fla., who with Mack and others still voted against Boehner.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said the issue of campaign help never was raised.
"I didn't see or hear any of that," he said. "I thought they would break my knuckles and twist my arm. I saw the speaker in the cloakroom. He raised his eyebrows, to say 'Where are you at?' I said, 'I support you, I just don't like your bill.' He said, 'That's what I thought. I'll leave you alone.' There was no 'I got a deal for you.'"
Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., says it was Boehner five years ago who told him that he was losing his seat on the Judiciary Committee for "bad behavior." Flake irritated party leaders by regularly railing against earmarks — pet projects like bridges or highways that were offered to members in return for their votes. Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said Flake lost his seat because Republicans went from the majority to the minority, and had fewer positions.
Southerland, the Florida freshman, said the old ways wouldn't work with the new Republicans.
"This is kind of a new breed," Southerland said. "My no is no and my yes is yes."
Southerland was part of a chaotic scene last week when Boehner appeared to lose control of his party. He had to initially postpone a vote on his bill and rewrite it to appease tea partyers and other conservatives, who demanded inclusion of a proposed constitutional amendment for a balanced budget.
Southerland was among the 15 to 20 GOP members, many of them freshmen, who were summoned to the office of party whip Kevin McCarthy to meet with Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor and McCarthy.

Autonomous Robot UAN
UAN consists of a number of panels connected to a common I2C bus. Power supply to the panels is provided together with the communication cables. The lower level contains the MD22 motor controller, motors, batteries and voltage regulation circuitry.
Two 6V 3.2Ah batteries drive the robot. One battery is used to drive the electronic circuits, including the processor . In order to achieve this, its voltage is regulated to 5V using a low drop-out regulator. The other battery is used to drive the motors directly. This approach was preferred over a single battery solution as the voltage level on the processor board is not affected when the motor supply demand increases.
Three SRF10 sensors are used to detect obstacles in a range in excess of 180 degrees. The Viper-LITE and Viper-I/O boards are mounted on the topmost panel, since the switches on the Viper-I/O are used to administer the robot, and the CompactFLASH must be easily accessible as it is used to store the robot configuration files.
Nice thing is that I have also built a robot simulator program where controllers can be tested and then they can be put directly on UAN... maybe I'll put it online one of these days.....

AbstractTo increase the ratio of combat to support personnel and to preserve the health of combat personnel. Accurate surveillance of disease carrying mosquitoes provides risk assessment for some of the most important military infectious diseases including malaria, leishmaniasis, dengue, and West Nile virus. Current methods only approximately measure the risk, unless dangerous human-bait collections are performed. Better methods would reduce the number of vector control personnel required because their efforts could be targeted to the most problematic locations. Improved vector control would reduce the number of cases of disease among combat personnel. Development of a field portable mosquito monitoring system to identify the true disease risk (from disease vectors) in an operational environment is therefore a high priority for the Department of Defense; a portable device ready to use anywhere that electronically scores the number of disease carrying insects. We envisage a field portable, durable, light, remote mosquito monitoring system that incorporates observational software with more robust algorithms to handle lower contrast settings with higher background noise levels, into a small "data logger" type device used in conjunction with a miniature camera(s)/ imagery device to accurately record both visual and time duration data of mosquitoes landing on an artificial attractant surface. This system would be used in combination with an attractant-monitoring surface.

Flooding claims at least two lives; 'downpours' remain in forecast
Updated 1:20 am, Sunday, May 26, 2013
A flash flood watch for much of south central Texas, including San Antonio and Bexar County, will remain in effect until 8 a.m. Sunday morning, according to the National Weather Service forecast.
The advisory warns that "heavy downpours" could drop between 2 to 4 inches of rain across the area overnight, which could quickly cause flash floods as the soil is already saturated. Isolated areas could see as much as an additional 6 inches of rain, most likely to fall east of Interstate 35 and North of Interstate 10.
Rain chances should remain at 80 percent through Sunday, when they are expected to drop to 20 percent, according to the forecast.
Update 8 p.m.
San Antonio residents seeking shelter with the American Red Cross have been moved to one, large facility at the Ninth Grade Academy at 1460 Martinez. Two smaller shelters were opened Saturday morning in response to flash flooding that displaced several people.
"This year has been unlike any other for us," said Michael Bennett, Regional Chief Executive Officer for the American Red Cross. "Just when we think we can catch our breath, along comes another disaster. At times like these, however, we don't look for an excuse."

Deering Library
Charles Deering Library is located on the campus of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, United States. Deering Library houses the Government Publications Department and the Northwestern University Archives on the first floor, the Music Library on the second floor, and the Map Collection, the Art Reference Collection and the Special Collections Department on the third floor. The Library is named for Charles Deering, a Northwestern benefactor and chairman of International Harvester, who provided the initial financing for the building.
Construction and the building[edit]
Deering Library succeeded Lunt Library (now Lunt Hall) as Northwestern's principal library. Built in 1894, Lunt Library was the university's first library, but had become severely overcrowded by the 1920s. Deering Library, which was planned by Theodore Wesley Koch, University Librarian from 1919 to 1941, served as Northwestern's main library until the completion of University Library in 1970.[1] Deering Library is connected to University Library.
The site chosen for Deering Library had previously been occupied by Heck Hall, a dormitory which burned down in 1914. The Library was built between 1931 and 1933, having been designed by the architect James Gamble Rogers in Collegiate Gothic style. The structure is composed of Lannon stone and was modeled after King's College Chapel at Cambridge University. The building also contains 68 stained glass windows by G. Owen Bonawit and wood and stone carvings by the sculptor Rene Paul Chambellan. [2] The stained glass windows picture shields of other universities.

Falling in love is simple—or so it seems in retrospect. But sooner or later disagreements crop up, and love becomes a more complicated venture.
Question:: What kinds of financial issues should my fiancé and I discuss before we walk down the aisle?
Suze:: Start by discussing how each of you feels about basic issues of financial responsibility. Will you support each other in adversity? Do you both view any obligations you may have to your respective families in the same way? How do you feel about responsibilities to ex-spouses or children from a former marriage? Who will manage the household bookkeeping?
Be candid about your past and present, and think about the future. Is one of you in debt from credit card bills or student loans? As a couple, what will you do about that? What will happen if one of you gets a job offer that requires a move? How will you decide whose job takes precedence? If you plan to have children, will one of you stay home with them? Are your investment styles in sync?
You may not be in full agreement on every issue before your marriage, but your relationship will be stronger for having talked through your similarities, differences, and concerns.
The way people talk about money—their expressions, tone of voice, or timing—can be as revealing as what they actually say. For most people, talking about money is an intimate and unfamiliar act.
Any number of childhood experiences can create fear or anger about money, any of which can inhibit open discussion and wise management. My advice, once again: Keep talking, calmly and compassionately, until you get all this stuff out in the open.

Causation and melanoma classification

In this article, I begin by giving a brief history of melanoma causation. I then discuss the current manner in which malignant melanoma is classified. In general, these systems of classification do not take account of the manner of tumour causation. Instead, they are based on phenomenological features of the tumour, such as size, spread, and morphology. I go on to suggest that misclassification of melanoma is a major problem in clinical practice. I therefore outline an alternative means of classifying these tumours based on causal factors. By analogy with similar systems that have recently emerged for other cancers, I suggest that this causal classification is likely to be both workable and helpful, even in the absence of a full causal-mechanistic understanding of the aetiology of the tumour.

Virtual Reality is everywhere again, and that's a problem. Almost immediately after the new trend began, people started shopping 360° immersive video as VR. It is not. "Surround" movies are marketed as VR. They are not. "VR Storytelling" is a misnomer; it is not structurally VR. "Second Life" is described as VR. It is not. When the term is appropriated, its meaning disintegrates.
From vimeo
Emerging technologies are changing the landscape of documentary storytelling. Video Games, Virtual Reality, Digital content have become legitimate channels of communicating 'documentary' stories. As this wave of innovation sweeps the genre, pushing on the boundaries of empathy, a new set of implications and possibilities surface.

"For him to compare those two teams is not one of the smarter things he ever could have done," Jordan, who also said he "absolutely laughed" when he heard Bryant's comments, said in published reports. "I heard Kobe say we were not athletic. But we were smart. He said we were too old, but I was 29 and in the prime of my career. … Almost everybody was still in their twenties.
"I imagine he's trying to say it to legitimize his own Dream Team," Jordan said. "But to me it's not even a question what team is better. For him to make that comparison, it's one of those things where it creates conversation. I guess we'll never know. I'd like to think that we had 11 Hall of Famers on that team, and whenever they get 11 Hall of Famers, you call and ask me who had the better Dream Team. Remember now, they learned from us. We didn't learn from them."
Not that I always enjoy everything that comes out of Jordan's mouth — his Hall of Fame acceptance speech smacked of "I'm still the greatest of all time" and was not the least bit gracious — but this time I've gotta say well said, MJ, well said.
Actually, the 2012 U.S. team isn't nearly as strong as it could be because it's missing some of the game's top players — Derrick Rose, Dwight Howard, Dwyane Wade, LaMarcus Aldridge, Blake Griffin — who have been sidelined by injuries.
And to think that a squad featuring the likes of Paul, Williams, Chandler, Carmelo Anthony, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Love, Andre Iguodola and Anthony Davis would be able to compete against Jordan, Pippen, Barkley, Malone, Robinson, Ewing, Mullin, Drexler and Co., all in their prime — even with Magic retired due to contracting the AIDS virus, Bird at the end of his career with a bad back and Stockton hobbled by a broken leg — is downright ludicrous.
Asked about it again later in the week, Bryant backed off a bit on his original comments.
"It's tough," he said. "If you're asking me, 'Can you beat them one game?' Hell, yeah, we can beat them one game.
"You didn't ask me if we could beat them in a seven-game series. In one game, we can beat them. No question about it." And, you know what? He's right. But only if you can follow the shrewd logic of none other than Bird.
"They probably could," he tweeted. "I haven't played in 20 years and we're all old now."
Yep, there you have it, the 2012 team would definitely beat the Dream Team if they played today — but only because the Hall of Fame members of that '92 squad are all now in their late-40s and early 50s. And just a little past their prime.
Otherwise, it's no contest.

Weightless (All Time Low song)
|Single by All Time Low
|from the album Nothing Personal
|March 24, 2009
|Pop punk[1]
|Jack Barakat, Rian Dawson, Alex Gaskarth, Zack Merrick, Matt Squire
|All Time Low singles chronology
"Weightless" is a song by American pop punk band All Time Low and the first and lead single from the group's third studio album Nothing Personal (2009). The single was released through Hopeless Records as a digital download on April 7, 2009, and was released in the UK on August 3, 2009.[2] The song is also available to download on the music video games Rock Band and Guitar Hero 5. It became the first song by the band to receive radio airplay, exposing the band to a new audience, and helping it peak at No. 104 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song has become a live staple, and is considered to be one of the band's signature songs along with "Dear Maria, Count Me In". In 2014 the song was certified Gold by the RIAA.[3]
Lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Alex Gaskarth stated in an interview with MTVu that "The whole mentality of the song is like, you feel like you're stuck in this like, negative space and you just want to get out. Summer's rolling up and uh, everybody's finishing up with school and everybody's getting like the exam beatdown".[citation needed]
In the Nothing Personal album trailer, Jack Barakat said that the song is about not wanting to grow up and just wanting to be a kid.[citation needed]
Music video[edit]
The music video for "Weightless" commenced filming on May 20, directed by Matthew Stawski.[4] Fans were invited to go on the set and be a part of the music video. It debuted on MTV, MTV2, mtvU and HITS the day before the album's release, on July 6, 2009.[5][6] The video opens with Alex Gaskarth being spoken to by some groupies backstage, with text representing his inner monologue, saying things over the girls such as "Only wants your money", "Obsessed", and "Get a restraining order on her." The video continues in this manner with the camera tracking through the venue; situations include Gaskarth backstage being pampered by crew members while text says that lead singers are spoiled, and also for people such as the merch seller, the roadies and crew, and various crowd members (including one who thinks "I'd rather be watching Fall Out Boy.") The video also features cameo appearances by Pete Wentz, bassist of Fall Out Boy, and Mark Hoppus, bassist and vocalist of Blink-182 with a joke that Wentz tweets to Hoppus via mobile that All Time Low rips off Fall Out Boy. Hoppus then despairingly thinks to himself that both All Time Low and Fall Out Boy rip off Blink-182. The video ends with the slogan Nothing Personal, which is not only a reference to the album, but is also the theme of the video.[4]

A: A brown bag wine party.
As you can see, we did quite a bit of damage! My roommate and I recently hosted a wine tasting at our house, but this was not a super serious, even remotely stuffy wine tasting. Our wine party, in addition to being incredibly rowdy, turned out to be quite interactive. Rather than sitting around, tasting and sipping, our guests milled around the house tasting each bagged wine that had been set out. The style of the tasting really facilitated wine conversation. With the Final Four playing in the background, these conversations often turned to basketball (forgivable), but I was impressed with how engaged each guest was with the wines.
If you feel like you don't know a lot about wine (or just want to have a good time) and want to host a wine party, here are the rules.
1. Each guest (or couple) brings 2 bottles of the same type of wine.You can set a price point or type (i.e. Pinot Noir). Kevin and I decided to make the wine selections a free for all, but set the price point at between $10 and $20.
2. As guests arrive, take one of each bottle and place it in a numbered brown bag. The other bottle goes in the stash. Make sure you have an honest person bagging the wines. Kevin put me in charge of this.
3. Set out the wines around the room. Guests each take a wine glass and walk around, tasting each of the bagged wines and giving them a score based on how much they like or dislike it. Kevin and I kept our scoring very simple, and had guests rate each wine on a scale of 1 to 10, with one being the lowest.
4. Once each wine has been tasted, collect the score sheets and tally the winning wine. Being the nerds that we are, Kevin and I did this in excel. I would recommend this as all guests will have consumed nearly a bottle of wine by this point, likely resulting in compromised math skills.
5. Have an unveiling ceremony to reveal the winners. The person or couple who brought the crowd favorite leaves the party with the stash of wines we set aside!
For our tasting, we had about 18 bottles of wine. The first place winner went home with 12 bottles, the second place winner left with 5, and the person who brought the worst wine got to pick their favorite wine of the stash to take home as a consolation prize. Our first and second place winners – Kathleen Farr and Tyler Stinnett – are a couple, so they really lucked out with enough of a stash to last them for quite some time!
This tasting is a guaranteed good time. If you're looking for a good reason to have a party, why not host one that involves a little wine education? Your guests are guaranteed to love it. When else do people get the chance to taste as many as 20 wines in one sitting? Not every day. Kevin and I have already had requests to host another one at our house soon!

Hometown: Grosse Ile, MI
Major: German
Minors: Spanish and Studio Art
Concentration: Media Studies
Study Abroad: Erlangen, Germany
Favorite Ice Cream Flavor: Vanilla
Best Adjective to Describe You: Enthusiastic
In 10 words or less, why should a student want to be involved in this department?
Fascinating language! Great study abroad opportunities! Awesome professors!
What initially drew you to this department? What keeps you coming back?
I knew I wanted to study foreign languages in my time at K, so I continued to take Spanish from high school, but I wanted to start a new language as well. I took German 101 my first quarter at K, and was quickly drawn to the language on a linguistic level. However, what keeps me coming back to the German department is the professors: they really are passionate about their subject and teaching. Every German class I've taken from 101 to 470 has been interesting and challenging in its own way.
What's your biggest piece of advice to first years and sophomores in this department?
Go to as many events hosted by the German department as you can! It's a great place to practice your speaking and listening skills, regardless of your language level!
How does your department connect to your other interests and activities?
I have a passion for language learning. Being a part of this department has allowed me to learn a new language with great courses, language labs run by native speakers, and an amazing study abroad program. In addition, I have an interest in foreign language education. Through the German department's study abroad program in Erlangen, I was able to intern at a German secondary school as an English teaching assistant. It was a great opportunity!
What's the most valuable thing you've learned at K?
Sometimes the best lessons you can learn are from people with different backgrounds than your own.
What has been your favorite class at K? Why?
Business Statistics! I never took stats in high school, and I thought it would be a useful thing to know, so I took it my sophomore fall. I had a great professor for the course and I quickly fell in love with the subject. It's a course I would recommend to anyone, regardless of major!
What is your SIP?
I am doing a photography focused SIP with the Studio Art department.
What are your career aspirations/next steps after K?
I hope to return to Germany to teach English as a foreign language there. I would also like to teach in Chile or Argentina. After teaching abroad, I hope to teach English as a second language to immigrants in the United States.

Gail Godwin's Flora paints a psychological portrait that is at once detailed and deceptive. The year is 1945, and we see the events of one pivotal summer through the eyes of Helen, an analytical narrator who is only ten years old. Helen couches her tale in the language of a mind still growing into itself, a perspective that is naively self-absorbed and precociously articulate in equal measure. Helen is coming of age alone with only her new caregiver, Flora, for company. They live in the North Carolina hills in a rambling house that was once a private sanatorium. Helen thinks she understands how the adult world works, even as she discovers she is missing some of the most crucial facts.
Godwin has stripped her stage of extraneous characters and sets. Helen has recently lost the beloved grandmother, Nonie, who raised her, and her father has been called away to do important war work. He ...

Obama Taps Van Jones as Green Jobs Adviser
Activist and green jobs visionary Van Jones will be joining the Obama Administration March 16 as a special adviser for green jobs, enterprise and innovation, announced the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
Jones will work with agencies and departments to advance the administration's climate and energy initiatives, with a special focus on improving vulnerable communities, according to WhiteHouse.gov.
Jones is the founder of Green For All, a national organization that promotes an inclusive green economy, and is also the co-founder of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights and Color of Change. He is the author of the 2008 New York Times best-seller, "The Green Collar Economy."
Jones has long been a proponent of environmental justice. He, along with other advocates like Majora Carter, tries to raise awareness of the fact that the communities most hurt by unsustainable practices are often the poorest, reports U.S. News & World Report.
Here, Jones speaks on a panel at the first official meeting of the Middle Class Task Force in Philadephia.
Reader Comments
Van Jones is not all that he seems to be. He actually hasn't done alot of ground work in Oakland. In fact, save a handful of kumbaya-singing multicultural-leaning activists, most native Bay Area Black people have never heard of him. He is a carpet-bagging, self-hating professional type that takes credit for the work of other long time activists in the Bay Area, that don't seek the lime light as much as himself. If he is to have any real political future, he must check in with the people who's hard work he plagarized and make it right with them. I read his book The Green Economy and he made no mention of the real Black Activists who are truly making a difference instead he took the easy route and name dropped a bunch of his fellow carpet baggers. He has been a disappointment thus far, hopefully obama will get more truth out of him that oakland ever did.
Ah, another worthless "adviser". Keep on rewarding your useless friends, Obama. I am becoming increasingly concerned with the damage these "advisers" can do to our economy. For the most part, they are not experts and most of them have radical agendas. This is total, to put it politely, nonsense.
What about influencing corporate culture to shift? That's where I want to see Mr. Jones make his mark. I'd also like to know what he thinks about certifying business and investment professionals who are leading the fight against climate change? I created a new certification called the ClimateChanger™ designation. ClimateChangersTM are described as "business people who have demonstrated an eagerness to reduce carbon emissions in their industry of practice, and the knowledge and creativity to achieve that goal."
Let me know your thought?

Hi Guys!
Anyone know of / heard of / personally have, a place in this year's Arizona Ironman that may / will not be used? I am willing to pay the full registration fee to anyone not not parttaking?
I'm really anxious to get a slot this coming November. It sold out the day registration opened, including the possibility of an Ironman Foundation slot. As you know, you can't go on any wait lists for slots for Ironman events.
Please please please help!!
I always thought that registrations cannot be changed from one person to another. Try Cozumel, it's a great place to do your Ironman !
Good luck !
