Solet is a relatively new name on the horror scene, but since writing and directing Grace and subsequently raising the bar in horror cinema, the young filmmaker has been championed by the likes of Eli Roth and Adam Green.
Solet obviously knows how to perturb and deeply affect his audiences. Grace is a thought provoking and character driven film saturated in dread and foreboding and one that audiences are not likely to forget in a hurry. I thought it was high time to have a chat with Mr Solet to discuss Grace, wax lyrical about the horror genre and talk about the highs and lows of making an independent film.
Where did the idea for Grace come from?
I was having a conversation with someone and it came up that its actual medical science that if you're pregnant and you lose your child and labour isn't induced, you can carry your baby to term, and that this is a decision women make more frequently than is commonly discussed. To me, that's just such a potent kernel of horror; it was a perfect jumping off place for a genre tale. It also says something fascinating about the uncanny power of the bond between a mother and child.
What made you decide to develop your short film into a feature length film? What challenges did this present you with?
The feature length script was actually written before the short. People wanted to option the feature, but it was much more difficult to get anyone to let me direct it because I had only done shorts before that. So I made the short to help raise interest in the feature. The challenges are virtually the same, making a short as they are making a feature. Time and money. There's never enough. So you embrace the restraints and do your best to exploit them to your advantage.
A number of critics have compared your film work so far to the early films of David Cronenberg, with their themes of body-horror and mental anguish. What is it about the darker aspects of the human body and psyche that intrigues you so much?
I've always been much more affected by terrestrial horror, real horror, horror you can touch, that could actually happen to you or your family, than supernatural stuff. I just don't find ghost stories especially frightening. Losing control over one's own body, or carrying death within it, is something that I think it's very difficult not to have an intense reaction to.
Reports of shocked audience members fainting whilst watching Grace are quite rife. Have you ever written anything that has shocked and disturbed even yourself?
You're certainly your own first audience, and it's great if you can get some kind of reaction from yourself. It's a very good sign if I'm finding myself disturbed by something, but I have a very high threshold and tend to just grin at the darker stuff, so I am not necessarily looking for the same reaction in myself I would in an audience. I'm frequently the only guy cackling at the horrible violence in a movie theatre. People look at me like I'm a psychopath.
Were you ever worried about going 'too far' with Grace?
No. Genre films are supposed to get under your skin. I felt bad when the guy fell down and hurt himself passing out at our USC screening, but he was okay and he came to the film to be moved. I've got no interest in doing tame, vanilla genre films.
What themes and ideas appeal to you most as a filmmaker?
I often go back to body horror - losing control of your faculties or your mind, bodily or mentally, or spiritual violations, damnation, guilt, trauma… Those are the things I think we can all identify with. We're hard-wired to respond to things like this, and when you pull these themes into the genre, you can explore them without limitation.
What is the writing process for you? Do you have any particular methods of writing stories or turning ideas into stories?
I outline extensively before I ever start constructing scenes. I'm a real believer in footwork, so I'll work for months outlining something, and then by the time I sit down to write a draft, I know exactly what I want to do and the script itself is just the fun part of the process. I tend to start broad and work my way into more precision. I usually begin with a premise, then beginning, middle and end, then break it into sequences, then scenes, then beats.
What has your reaction been to the response Grace has received from audiences and critics?
I couldn't be happier. People are so grateful to have an original genre film that delivers something new, and across the board audiences and critics have been immensely supportive. Even the mainstream press, which looks for any excuse to shit on genre films, has given us nothing but praise. The fact that men keep passing out is pretty damn gratifying too, truth be told.
Who or what have been your biggest influences?
As far as directors go, my biggest influences are David Cronenberg and Roman Polanski, but there are a whole slew of other directors that I find intensely inspiring, and that list is always in flux. I just got back from a film festival in Korea, and got a chance to see Tom Shankland's new film The Children and was thoroughly blown away. Also saw Vinyan, Fabrice DuWelz's new flick, which is absolutely mesmerizing. Those movies are every bit as inspirational for me. I'm just so excited that films like that are being made. Guys like Michael Haneke and Kiyoshi Kurosawa are huge for me, as well. All these guys are making such brave decisions in their work, it's just a joy to have these guys working.
What is your opinion on contemporary horror cinema?
Like I said, I am thrilled to pieces about the state of the genre right now. We've got some of the most talented filmmakers around in our realm, and they aren't just trying to use horror as an in to make their romantic comedy; they are students of this shit and they love it and they want to do their part to raise the bar.
What is it about the dark subject matter contained in your films that compels you to explore it?
I could psychoanalyze myself but I wouldn't come up with anything too solid. I've always been into the darker side of things. Since I was a little kid. Not everyone's like that, obviously, I don't think it's an acquired taste, but if you've got it, you sure as hell know it. And that's why we all get along so well in the genre community. Because we've got this thing.
What's next for you? Any projects in the pipeline you can mention?
There are a number of projects I'm extremely excited about right now. I'm not supposed to mention any of them quite yet, but stand by…. Expect grave emotional trauma in the near future.
According to sources such as Variety and Fangoria, Grace is to be released theatrically by Anchor bay Entertainment and will open in New York and L.A. on August 14th 2009.
Anchor bay will also release the film on DVD and Blu-Ray on 15th September.

The rotunda and atrium connect the two wings of the Hays County Government Center and create a dramatic visual impact on the visitor; wayfinding is a breeze after entering the building, passing through security and into the atrium.

A number of county services were relocated to the new government center, including the tax collector and elections office.

A grand staircase was incorporated, encouraging less use of the elevator and therefore less electricity. Recessed lighting highlights the architecture without putting the focus on superfluous fixtures.

The justice benches are centered in the Hays County courtrooms, while new technology allows judges to control the evidence shown to the jury via monitors in the jury box.

The project is
comprised of a two-story government wing in the front and a three-story courts wing in the back, which also holds a number
of courts-related offices, including
the county clerk, district clerk, juvenile and adult probation, and justice of the peace. The building encompasses a range of functions and spaces, including administrative, research and
meeting rooms.

Courthouses, by their very nature, are steeped in the traditions of the American
justice system, making them a unique challenge for designers. The goal is to show respect for one of our country's foundational institutions, all while implementing program elements that will bring them into the 21st century.
HDR Architecture had even taller orders to fill, however, when it took on the Hays County Government Center in San Marcos, Texas. In addition to creating new court facilities for the county, the project involved relocating a number of government offices that had spent the past 10 years in an old grocery store, which served as a "temporary" facility.
The new structure created by HDR features a stoic two-story government building in the front and a three-story courts wing in the back. The two are connected by a spacious atrium and rotunda.
It's this central space that serves as the heart and soul of the building. An emphasis on wayfinding helps the public navigate the space efficiently, while cove lighting in the rotunda captures the attention of all who pass through.
"The cove lights circumvent the square walls," says Jamie Marcyniak, an interior designer with HDR. "Lighting both of those (the oculus and the walls) with the cove lights creates a statement and delineates that architecture, drawing people in. It's the central hub and lets people know that."
The recessed nature of the lighting also helps the rotunda establish more of a visual impact. "Wherever you are in this rotunda, it seems you are in a three or four-story mass, and that's accomplished by the lighting scheme separating the ceilings and walls," she says.
Finally, the rotunda serves as a nod to the nearby former courthouse—a historic site for the city of San Marcos—and its bronze dome. "Both the outside and the inside are a nod to their historic roots in town, but they're also progressive looking for the future," says John Niesen, an interior architect with HDR. The building even faces south, as do all courthouses in Texas, with its back to the north—a subtle reference to the Civil War.
Another important design imperative for the HDR team was to take cues from the site's surrounding terrain, architecture and landscape while developing the interior palette. They turned to a number of warm colors and shades, all inspired by the historic area of San Marcos and its red roofs; the Guadalupe River, which runs past the city; and the prairies that make up the Texas landscape.
Marcyniak says that a large amount of limestone, taken from local quarries less than 50 miles from the site, was used on the project. Also notable is the wood veneer used on the rotunda. "It's a real wood veneer wall covering, as opposed to wood veneer applied to a panel," she says, adding that it made the veneer easier to apply to the curved surface of the oculus.
And while these elements kept the project connected to its surroundings, the technology implemented within four of the courtrooms brought it into the future. Rather than presenting evidence the old-fashioned way—projected on a screen—jurors can view it on flat-panel monitors in the jury box.
"Everything is electronic," Niesen explains. "The prosecuting attorney doesn't have to wheel in a television in front of the jury to show them anything. They get on their laptop wired into the system through their attorney table. That, in turn, is all controlled by the judge. The judge controls what the jury sees via a flat-panel control at the bench. He or she can switch on the jury's televisions."
Sightlines are another important element to consider within the courtroom, as they are greatly affected by factors such as number of jurors; the amount of seating needed for the public; and where the judge's bench is located in the room.

So that any issues get worked out prior to construction, the justices are typically brought in to view a mockup of the courtroom, produced out of plywood by the contractor. In this case, HDR housed a full-scale replica of the layout in an old airplane hanger, bringing in justices for both the county and district courts.
"We walk the justices through and they envision how they are going to use it for trials. We also bring in the [district attorneys], so we get members of the bar who use the courtrooms as well to shoot holes in the design and look at sightlines. Invariably, even though we've done so many courtrooms, there's always something that gets changed as a result of that mockup," Niesen says.
Circulation was another important driver for the team. In any courthouse design, there must be three separate and distinct circulation paths so that the public, defendants in custody, and the jurors and justices never cross. "The only time they meet is in the courtroom so that the justice system won't
get tainted in any way," he explains.
Overall, HDR has created a new, more inviting home for the courts and offices that make up Hays County—making it easier to serve their constituents in the process. "The new building works very well for the court function, as well as the county offices now housed there because they were in many
different locations before," says Niesen. "It's much more efficient for the
government to operate in one building."

A major in public policy studies aims to teach students how to make a difference in the complex policy issues of today. Rigorous coursework provides students skills in political and economic analysis, knowledge about how to lead people and organizations, and a strong ethical foundation for decision-making. As a liberal arts major, public policy studies teaches students to read critically, think analytically, and write concisely. A policy-oriented internship is a required part of the curriculum.
"As a first-year student, public policy was the closest thing I could find to the study of changing the world. Looking back on it, I identified as a public policy major more and more. I adopted a lot of the attitudes that the major brings, like pragmatism, understanding tradeoffs, and accepting that incremental changes are not necessarily less valuable than revolutionary ones."—Ian Harwood PPS'14
Intellectual Goals
The broad intellectual goals of any major should relate to the goals of a liberal arts education. The public policy major at Duke encourages students to work toward the goals outlined in visions of a liberal arts education, which are also reflected in the Philosophy of Trinity College.
The goals of the major in public policy studies are both pedagogical and policy specific. First, we aim to create a learning environment in which students 1) draw on skills from multiple disciplines, 2) learn to write concisely and clearly, and 3) consider the ethical implications of their actions.
Second, the topics explored in the major should lead students 1) to think in terms of global problems and international relations, 2) to analyze the policies surrounding new advances in science (i.e., genomics) and technology (i.e., intellectual property and the Internet), and 3) to engage in solving important social problems.
Learning Objectives
- PPS majors should complete a series of interdisciplinary core and elective courses so they can analyze and evaluate contemporary public policy problems.
- PPS majors should learn to integrate skills learned in the coursework and the practice of public policy making. This is accomplished through required internships.
- PPS majors should become proficient in writing skills; both those skills that require substantive, clear, succinct analysis of contemporary policy-related issues and those that require more in-depth exploration and explanation of issues in the academic discipline of public policy studies.
- To gain an understanding of the scholarly context of public policymaking, PPS majors are strongly encouraged to participate, if possible, in an undergraduate research experience such as an honor's thesis, an independent study, a research service-learning course or project, or to work as a research assistant for a professor.

About the Centres
MS National Therapy Centres
There are over 50 independent MS therapy centres in the UK, Ireland and Gibraltar. The first was founded in Dundee in 1982, and since then many more have been set up by people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and their carers, with the original motto:
"self-help is our way of action"
The centres provide therapies and support to people with MS. Therapies include oxygen treatment, physiotherapy, massage, and tailored exercise classes such as yoga and pilates, while a range of support is available, from general drop-in chats to counselling to dietary advice. Some centres provide dance classes, and others can offer hairdressing. Each MS therapy centre is an individual charity which relies on dedicated volunteers and donors who give freely of their time and money to help people with MS. A high proportion of centre directors/trustees are people affected by MS.
The centres stand together and support each other through membership of MS National Therapy Centres, a charity registered in England & Wales and Scotland.
There are estimated to be at least 100,000 people with MS in the UK, and more than 15,000 people use the MS therapy centres each week.

Wholesale repeal is ill advised. There are parts that need to be modified. Especially that requiring all people to purchase insurance.
Republicans are playing politics first and foremost with this issue. For some reason they want to ignor the CBO projections of potential savings for Federal expenditures.
And they seem to forget that at at one point 70% of Americans WANTED healthcare reform. They are playing with political fire with this issue and may well get burned badly before it is done.
The only thing the Republicans have on their side in the healthcare debate is the fact that the democrats remain completely incompetent and lost when it comes to framing and delivering a message on this, or just about any other issue.

SirStevesGuide.com continues its "Collector Ettiquete Survey" with a look at raising armies at home. Now droids and Clones are quite common in the Star Wars universe, but in private fans' collections, there is a whole variety of varying tastes for varying quantities of these guys.
With most stores stocking overnight, and learning from our last poll that roughly only 16% of collectors rush the action figure isles no sooner than the doors open for business the next day, we ask what does the broad range of our readers think about those who take Chancellor Palpatine's Army Creation Act with the utter most seriousness?
At 7 am, if someone finds the latest new assortment of Star Wars figures, do they deserve armies of their favorite droids or soldiers?
Keep in mind that 38 % of our readers said they could only be going to work or school at this time, and 23 % said they'd rather sleep and find the figures at their leisure - in spite of frustrations with distribution being common amongst collectors.
So to Army Build or Not? And how can the "nice collector" do it?

Figures were $8.99 though so i don't know if its that good of a deal for the scanner troopers at that price but its probably less than what you'd end up paying on e-bay or something with shipping.

Prosecutor links Walker to intertwining of political, county work
Prosecutors made disclosure during sentencing of Walker's former aide
MILWAUKEE - Prosecutors on Monday said Scott Walker had daily meetings with his Milwaukee County staffers and his 2010 governor's campaign to ensure there was "good coordination" between the two, WisPolitics reported.
Milwaukee County prosecutors made the disclosure during the sentencing of Kelly Rindfleisch, a former Walker county aide who reached a plea deal to settle charges against her stemming from the long-running John Doe probe.
The political work Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf described included what he called a group that communicated daily.
The group included members of Walker's campaign such as campaign manager Keith Gilkes and spokeswoman Jill Bader along with county employees such as chief of staff Tom Nardelli, spokeswoman Fran McLaughlin, administration director Cindy Archer and Rindfleisch, according to email correspondence obtained by investigators.
Landgraf used a detailed PowerPoint presentation to implicate Walker and his aides in doing political work using county resources, according to the WisPolitics report.
Rindfleisch attorney Franklyn Gimbel said "what jumped off the page" in Landgraf's 65-minute presentation was that his client was the only one of those mentioned in the PowerPoint who's facing jail time.
"Scott Walker has not been accused of any wrongdoing," Gimbel said, raising both hands, according to the WisPolitics report.
Landgraf did not address in court whether anyone else would be charged in the investigation and declined to answer questions on that topic afterward.
Walker hasn't yet commented on the new developments, but he has repeatedly said he is not a target of the investigation.
Walker campaign spokesperson Tom Walker told WISC, News 8's sister station, the relationship between the Walker campaign and Walker administration was not abnormal.
"It is not unusual for campaign staff and an elected official's staff to routinely discuss the appropriate way to schedule meetings, determine a point of contact for emergencies, or how to address media inquiries directed at both the official office and the campaign office," he said. "Balancing the daily calendars, meetings and issues covered by the media for an elected official present challenges in the course of a campaign that require routine communication by both sets of staff."
Archer hasn't been charged in the probe, though investigators have searched her home. Prosecutors earlier this year requested personnel records for all four former county aides.
Landgraf also noted that Rindfleisch, in an email to a friend, had said that half of her time in the county executive's office would be spent on "policy for the campaign."
Prosecutors accused Rindfleisch of working on Republican Brett Davis' lieutenant governor campaign on county time.
Prosecutors held up a stack of hundreds of campaign emails during Monday's sentencing, revealing that Walker was copied on and even wrote some of the emails.
"It includes emails to the Davis campaign. It includes emails to the Walker campaign," Landgraf said.
Prosecutors said Rindfleisch sent and received those emails while working on taxpayer time using a secret Internet server set up in her office.
A Milwaukee judge on Monday sentenced Rindfleisch to six months in jail and three years' probation for doing campaign work on the taxpayers' time.
Rindfleisch pleaded guilty last month to one felony count of misconduct in office in a deal with prosecutors.
She faced up to three-and-a-half years in prison and $10,000 in fines but prosecutors recommended jail time rather than prison and promised not to seek restitution in exchange for her plea.
Judge David Hansher stayed the sentence pending appeal.
Prosecutors have portrayed Rindfleisch as uncooperative in providing information about others as part of the John Doe probe.

Random venting.
Apple iBooks are sweet. Nice, small, solid, smooth, fast, little things with excellent battery life. Very happy with that purchase.
Not so happy with my ADSL. Telstra's BigPond sucks. They're incompetent at doing the install (three months before I even get an appointment, which is then cancelled because hey, they didn't mean to make the appointment in the first place, sorry about that, do you remember the name of the guy who called you by any chance? and another month before the actual appointment, then another week or two before the installation), they're incompetent at keeping the underlying routing sensible (trying to ping other local ADSL users gets me one response, then nothing until I leave it for ten minutes, at which point I can get another response, then, again, nothing; and large packets sent to me simply get dropped somewhere upstream from me (and no it is not my MTU or MRU), they still haven't managed to work out how to offer static IP addresses), they're incompetent at support (responding to reports a couple of days late, which happens to be after the problem's been fixed, escalating reports to email addresses that don't exist, managing to let reports just sit around for weeks without any updates, and insisting that I not only use a Windows box, but that I cold boot, and reinstall it before they're willing to even bother checking if the problem might be on their end), and they're even incompetent at billing (their printed invoices list an account code without a leading 0, that their pay by phone services insists must be present). Sprinkle all the above liberally with curses, swear words, and insinuations about animal ancestry and illegitimate parentage, and you have a vague idea how irritating this is. Or get broadband yourself. Bah.
Is it just me, or does anyone else fail to see the relevance of this .NET and mono nonsense? Linux's answer to .NET? Pfft. It may be rude to answer with a question, but a better response would've been "Who cares?". .NET's features are purely market related and non-technical. Sure, there's a bunch of new implementations of old ideas. You can upgrade software off the internet easily! You can write a program and then run it on different computers! You can have your software run remotely rather than locally! There's nothing new here: I do all this every day, right now. What's new is --- well, to be honest, what's new is you can do it on Windows. It's nice to see some, what, twenty year old features might finally make it to the world's premier software platform in the next couple of years. But hey. What's really new is the way all these things are tied straight back into the good ol' Microsoft monopoly. And quite frankly, who cares about that? Personally, I'm not even vaguely interested in what Microsoft wants to do to maintain it's monopoly. If there were some interesting technical features here, sure, it might be worth looking at, or thinking about, but there aren't. Mono is nothing more than Samba, something that might be useful for interoperability, but provides almost no real benefits of its own. Technically, it's a pointless distraction, that doesn't even deserve diary rants like this one.
Jef Raskin's book, The Humane Interface is nifty. A zooming file or window manager (one where you get to move north/south/east/west and zoom in and zoom out, but don't get to "open" things) would be very interesting to play with.
Question of the day: when was the last time you found a problem in some free software, tracked down exactly what caused it, and sent the author a detailed report on why it was a bug and how to reproduce it? When was the last time you complained about some bug, but didn't do the above?
Thought of the day: if we don't charge anything to let people use or modify our software for their own use, is it too much to ask people to go a long way out of their way, just to submit a bug report or a feature request?

CPE/First swim in Corsica for Roger Federer and his twins.
EXCLUSIVE/CPE/ July 10, 2010 – Girolata – Corsica (FRA).
Roger Federer is out of the two top spots in the ATP rankings,
Monday for the first time since November 10, 2003. The Swiss player
advanced to third place behind the Spaniard Rafael Nadal and Serbian
Novak Djokovic.
He took the opportunity to go on holiday, away from the media, family,
Roger Federer has rented a luxury yacht (the "JEMS ') to go around
Corsican coast, via Calvi, Saint Florent Girolata.
All his family was with him, her adorable twins, his wife, his
mother and step-mother!
First bathing for Charlene Riva & Myla Rose, who will celebrate just
their first birthday July 23.
Miroslava (Mirka) & Roger have the joys of swimming in
small toddlers! twins have discovered and Corsica waters
blue lagoons where they were dipping!
At the southern end of the reserve of Scandola, Girolata is emblematic places of Corsica, whose picture is found on the cover of many books on the island.
With eucalyptus, its Genoese fortress, its bay with turquoise waters, its houses and its jagged mountains surrounding this village is a perfect retreat … except in summer when tourists jostle.
In the absence of any road, the easiest solution is to access the boat.

Not understanding.
So, there was this guy... Joe Juliker, well, that's what the VP called him. His real name is Joe Julicher. I found him to be quite arrogant with regards to GNU/Linux.
Of course, I doubt he knew who I really was, but that is not the point.
When did GNU people start to become arrogant. This guy was more arrogant than RMS or Linus. Maybe... it was a gender bias thing. There is a lot of that going on over at Microchip Technology.
who is Julicher. He's nobody. Well, oh, maybe he's someone at Microchip technology... but that's about it. Maybe he's just one of those people who would be arrogant no matter what...
It's possible.
I just find it amusing that Linus is so humble... John Gilmore - Humble, RMS - humorous... not humble but definitely approachable and honest.
So, why is this one loser arrogant. It really upset me that he purported to be someone important. He's nobody. Why does it still bother me....?
Because I am so sick of these losers... noones... who think they are something, act like jerks.
This is not high school. Even if it were, you would be tantamount to the janitor's assistant. Not that there is anything wrong working with the janitor... but you have no reason to be arrogant about it.
You are really NOT all that. PATENTER!!!!!

Childhood Cancer
Because of better treatment methods, outcomes for childhood cancer patients have improved in recent years.
About 2,500 children are diagnosed with cancer each year in the U.S. Childhood cancer was once thought to be untreatable, but today most children who have cancer can overcome it. Dr. Daniel Niebrugge, assistant professor of pediatric hematology/oncology at SIU School of Medicine in Springfield, explains the most common childhood cancers.
"What we see primarily is leukemia. What we call childhood leukemia or acute lymphocytic leukemia and brain tumors. If you add the childhood leukemia and brain tumors, it's about half of everything we see in pediatrics, just in those two diagnoses. We see occasionally kidney tumors or bone tumors, but again those are fairly small numbers."
Dr. Niebrugge, who also is one of the cancer specialists at SIU's Simmons Cancer Institute, says the most common age group of children who are diagnosed with leukemia are preschool and elementary school ages. Many of his patients receive the benefits of enrolling in national clinical trials, which means they have access to medications that may have fewer side effects. He says research data shows that survival rates are improving.
"... from year 2000 the survival rate is about 75 percent. And I would guess if we looked at 2000 to 2010, when we get those data, it's going to be closer to 80 percent. Now that's all childhood tumors and leukemia. So it's really an amazing accomplishment that has happened in a 40 year period."
Dr. Niebrugge says today most children with cancer can have a normal life – they can go to school and participate in regular childhood activities. As for warning signs, any child who has persistent fever, sore throat or bone pain lasting for a few weeks should be seen by their pediatrician or primary care physician. The child may be referred to a pediatric oncologist for further evaluation and possible treatment.

Car Dealers: Background
Historically, car dealers have devoted more resources to political contributions than domestic automakers, and that trend continued through 2012. Their concerns are allied with those of U.S. manufacturers, but the industry also advocates for many of the same issues as small businesses in general.
Far and away the biggest spender in the industry is the National Auto Dealers Association, which dispensed more than $3.2 million in contributions in the 2012 election cycle. NADA has expanded to represent the interests of nearly 16,000 new car and truck dealers throughout the country. Among its priorities: ensuring that any overhaul of the tax code does not hurt small businesses, blocking "right-to-repair" legislation that would provide independent mechanics with information on car parts, and monitoring the estate tax passed in January 2013 that NADA says could have detrimental effects on family-owned dealerships.
After peaking in 2009, the industry's lobbying expenditures declined over the next three years and totaled $3.49 million in 2012. NADA footed nearly $3 million of that sum, lobbying primarily on tax issues.
Total contributions from the car dealers industry reached a new high in 2012 at more than $15 million. The industry has consistently favored Republicans, but 2012 marked the biggest lean to the right since at least 1990, with 85 percent of its cash going to conservatives. That may have been in part a reaction to the Obama administration's fuel economy standards. The industry opposes new miles per gallon regulations - especially when coming from the Environmental Protection Agency and not from Congress - and NADA has claimed that prices will dramatically increase and jobs will be lost.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:27 PM GMT on September 15, 2011
Tropical Storm Maria is roaring past Bermuda, bringing winds near tropical storm force. At 11 am local time, winds at the Bermuda airport were sustained at 36 mph, just below the 39 mph threshold of tropical storm strength. Outer spiral bands of Maria have brought a few brief heavy rain squalls to the island, as seen on Bermuda radar. The core of Maria is now at its closest point of approach to the island, about 150 miles (240 km) to the west, and the island may yet see an hour of two of sustained winds of 40 - 45 mph. Maria is headed north-northeast, and will brush Newfoundland, Canada on Friday afternoon. Since Newfoundland will be on the weak (left) side of a rapidly weakening Maria, I'm not expecting much in the way of wind damage from the storm in Canada, though heavy rains may cause isolated minor to moderate flooding. Top sustained winds in St. Johns will probably be in the 25 - 35 mph range Friday afternoon, though a few hours of tropical storm force winds of 40 - 45 mph are possible if Maria ends up tracking farther west than expected.

Elsewhere in the tropics
Even the busiest of hurricane seasons have lulls, and we're hitting one this week during what is traditionally the busiest week of hurricane season. A westward-moving tropical wave a few hundred miles south of the Cape Verde Islands, off the coast of Africa, has a modest amount of poorly organized heavy thunderstorm activity. This wave is under a moderate 10 - 20 knots of wind shear, is in a moist environment, and is over warm waters, so has the potential for some development, though NHC is currently not mentioning it in their Tropical Weather Outlook. The UKMET and NOGAPS models predict this wave could develop into a tropical depression 5 - 6 days from now. The NOGAPS model continues to predict the Western Caribbean off the coast of Nicaragua could see the development of a tropical depression 6 - 7 days from now, but the other models are showing little support for this scenario.
Figure 2. Heidi Cullen of Climate Central introduces Boulder, Colorado teacher John Zavalney, one of the presenters of the Climate Reality Project's 24-hour live streaming special.
The Climate Reality Project
The Climate Reality Project (climaterealityproject.org) is a little more than halfway through their live, 24-hour streaming video effort that features 24 different presenters for 24 hours, representing every time zone around the globe. The presentations began last night at 7 pm EDT, and will end tonight at 7 pm EDT. It's worth checking out; there have been some interesting presentations and some dull ones. Interspersed with the presentations are panel discussions with some slick Google Earth graphics; last night's discussions were led by Heidi Cullen of Climate Central, who is a rarity--a very personable and well-spoken scientist, and someone you'll be seeing on TV much more in coming years. The Climate Reality Project showed one excellent video tracking the history of industry-funded denial of science that began with the tobacco industry, something I've discussed as well in post called The Manufactured Doubt Industry and the hacked email controversy. Also shown were two cute 15 - 30 second comedy videos. But while the Climate Reality Project's 24-hour blitz has already gotten 3 million people to tune in, its documentary-style tone and Powerpoint lectures will not be engaging enough to keep most visitors around for more than a few minutes. Ph.D. oceanographer Randy Olson, who left a tenure-track professorship to become a Hollywood film maker, has written an excellent book called Don't be Such a Scientist, about the failure of scientists to communicate in way that will engage people (I thought so highly of the book that I bought 20 copies of the book to give away to students at the University of Michigan's Department of Atmospheric Science this year.) In the latest post in his blog, The Benshi, Olson outlines how the climate community has failed in the main way needed to engage an audience: create a likable voice through the effective telling of stories, which is a less literal means of communication and is less cerebral and thus reaches a mass audience. Future efforts at communication by the climate science community really need to work on using the telling of stories by likable voices in order to get their message across, and I highly recommend that all climate scientists who do public outreach read Olson's book "Don't be Such a Scientist."

Olynyk leads Gonzaga to 15th win
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Kelly Olynyk made a key putback with 1:55 remaining on the way to a career-high 33 points, and No. 10 Gonzaga held off a late rally to beat Santa Clara 81-74 on Saturday night for its sixth straight victory.
Elias Harris added 14 points for the Zags (15-1, 2-0 WCC), determined to win another West Coast Conference crown after Saint Mary's snapped the school's run of 11 straight won or shared conference titles.
Olynyk also had 10 rebounds, scored Gonzaga's eight straight points late as the Zags shot 55 percent from the floor.
Kevin Foster scored 29 points and reached the 2,000 mark for his career and Marc Trasolini had 19 points and nine rebounds for Santa Clara (12-4, 1-1), which is off to the program's best start since 1997-98.

Family: Recurvirostridae, Stilts and Avocets view all from this family
Description ADULT In summer, has orange-buff flush to head and neck. Underparts are white and upperparts are black with white on scapulars and upper back. In winter, buffy elements of plumage become whitish. JUVENILE Similar to dull summer adult with washed out orange-buff coloration and pale edges to back feathers.
Dimensions Length: 16-20" (41-51 cm)
Habitat Locally common in breeding season but mostly outside range of this book; favors shallow lakes, muddy ponds, and marshes. In winter, mainly coastal, found on pools and mudflats along Gulf coast and on Atlantic coast to North Carolina.
Observation Tips Easy to observe and identify.
Range Southeast, California, Eastern Canada, Mid-Atlantic, Florida, Great Lakes, Northwest, Western Canada, Plains, New England, Texas, Rocky Mountains, Southwest
Voice Utters a sharp kweet.
Discussion Elegant wading bird. Despite seasonal differences in plumage, unmistakable with black and white plumage overall, extremely long pale bluish legs, and slender, upcurved bill. Long, thin bill is swept from side-to-side in shallow water, collecting tiny invertebrate prey. Looks striking in flight: seen from above, black wingtips, outer wing coverts, and scapular stripes contrast with otherwise white plumage. Sexes are similar, but male's bill is straighter than female's.

Associate Editor
The Florida Bar's Young Lawyers Division is gearing up for its annual Affiliate Outreach Conference, set for January 18-19 at The Shores Resort in Daytona Beach.
"It's an opportunity to meet young leaders from all across the state of Florida," said Matthew Welch, co-chair of the event.
"There's also an opportunity to apply for and take home grant money to implement local community service projects."
The theme of this year's conference is "Racing to Serve," a reference to both Daytona's racing culture and the event's focus on supporting service to the community and local young lawyers divisions and sections throughout the state, Welch said.
"Matt and I are excited to bring people out to Daytona," said Katherine Hurst Miller, co-chair of the event. "The conference will feature some very cool locations, like our beachfront hotel, our Friday dinner inside the track at the Daytona International Speedway, and our Saturday afternoon boat trip down the Halifax River. Amid the hustle and bustle of the practice of law, it's nice sometimes to enjoy the Florida scenery, and we hope we are giving young lawyers a chance to do that."
The conference is open to members of recognized young lawyers affiliates in Florida and designated Law Student Division representatives.
The YLD plans to award more than $40,000 to local young lawyer organizations in its annual competition for project grant funding from The Florida Bar Foundation.
The competition challenges local young lawyers to design projects to benefit their members or their communities, Welch said.
Typical awards range between $500 and $1,500, though projects have received as much as $5,000 in the past.
Affiliates are required to submit proposals to Welch via email to email@example.com by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, January 4. Applications received by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, December 14 may receive additional points during the scoring process.
Applicants must then make five-minute presentations on their proposed projects at the conference, where the division will award funding.
"It is so impressive to hear about the service projects young lawyers are doing all across the state, and affiliate representatives exchange great ideas sitting together in a room discussing their projects," Miller said. "We have devoted a significant part of our budget to fund grants, so we hope that every YLD affiliate will submit a grant proposal and come to the conference to present their proposals."
Welch said he's received about 10 applications and is expecting to receive between 30 and 40 more.
"There are some very exciting projects," he said.
At the event, the division plans to present annual affiliate awards, including Outstanding Young Lawyer Affiliate to a local division for excellence in public service, member service, and creative use of resources.
Awards will also be given for the most outstanding public service and member service projects completed by local divisions in the previous year.
Letters of nomination must be emailed to YLD Awards Chair Adam Myron at email@example.com no later than 11:59 p.m. on Friday, January 4.
The conference, sponsored by LexisNexis, is set to begin with a panel discussion by in-house counsel about getting and keeping corporate clients.
"I find that young lawyers, from transactional associates all the way to assistant state attorneys, are very curious about what in-house attorneys do and how they work with outside counsel," Miller said.
"This should be an informative event, and one that makes it worthwhile for young lawyers to take off work Friday afternoon to be at the conference."
The conference is also set to include a Saturday afternoon ride aboard the 117-foot Ginn Sundancer Yacht, following an awards luncheon.
"This way, we can continue conversations about service projects and other affiliate activities from the morning into the afternoon," Miller said. "I really want the affiliate leaders, law student board members, and YLD board members from across the state to get to know each other a little better. It is an amazing group of people to have come together in one place, and we want to take advantage of the opportunity to network."
Two members of each local affiliate are each eligible to receive a $400 reimbursement for attendance at the conference.
Reservations at The Shores Resort should be made by Friday, December 21. Conference attendees must also register by Friday, January 4.
For more information about the conference, including instructions for registering, booking accommodations, and applying for grants, visit www.flayld.org/yldevents/aoc.

This work is the final configuration of a project spanning the last two years. Initially I began by transposing Abba music to Arabic instrumentation. Considering this conflation as a sculptural key I began replicating objects that were reminiscent of both Middle-Eastern forms and modernist Scandinavian design. This process was not linear, but circuitous with unexpected and complex associations.
In trying to cast the cavity of a bell I realised that its clapper would interfere with the casting. This reminded me of the problem of trying to fill a pepper mill with peppercorns and having the shaft of the mill get in the way. Increasingly, the task was to try and articulate this central axis, so that the shapes of things turned or spun on a central point became a feature of the work.
Another feature is the relationship between the function of an object and its manufacture. Each of these objects is a type of machine that acts on matter in a specific way, be it grinding filling or melting, but they are also a by-product of another physical process. Within this exchange paradoxes arise as seen in the making of a candle, whereby a wick placed centrally within the cast wax is part of its own undoing. It is this undermining of the nature of the article that led me to simulate lathed wood in clay, electric lamps as candles, and sand Arabic bongo drums as the outer case of a mould.
Overall the piece presents an interrogation of form that, once initiated, snowballs into an ensemble of objects that speak not only of their origin but also of their poetic potential.

School vouchers are topic of talk, Oct. 18
Posted October 12, 2005; 06:26 p.m.
Clint Bolick, a leading proponent of school voucher programs, will present a lecture titled "School Choice: Fulfilling the Promise of Brown v. the Board of Education" at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 18, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Bolick is president and general counsel of the nonprofit Alliance for School Choice, which was launched on the 50th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education school desegregation case.
Bolick also co-founded and served as vice president of the Institute for Justice, a Washington, D.C.-law firm. He led the litigation team that defended voucher programs in the 2002 Supreme Court case Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, in which the court ruled that religiously affiliated schools may participate in taxpayer-funded tuition voucher programs.
Bolick is the author of "Voucher Wars: Lessons from the Legal Battle
Over School Choice" and "Leviathan: The Growth of Local Government and
the Erosion of Liberty."
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and is part of a series of events celebrating the school's 75th anniversary.

very cool, been using the tv out library and a pile of ram in a 1284 to get 40 char, this is more what I was looking for (though basic bitmap graphics with tv out has its interesting parts)
Very cool. Given how cheap something like the Teensy 3.0 is, perhaps this whole thing could be rolled into that very fast/high performance chip, for a simpler, single board/chip solution? Or if you need the 5v support, perhaps the Teensy++ 2.0 could do it? It's got a fair bit of ram onboard compared to the 328..

You'll love these melt-in-your-mouth pancakes. Mmm, they're so light and fluffy.
Leftovers? Stack cooled pancakes between sheets of waxed paper. Wrap in aluminum foil and freeze. To reheat, unwrap pancakes and removed waxed paper. Heat on ungreased cookie sheet in 400°F oven 5 to 7 minutes or until hot, or microwave uncovered on high until hot.
The lemon juice and baking powder provide a little more "lift" in these pancakes, making them lighter and fluffier than most.
Drizzle these pancakes with warm apple syrup for a taste of heaven.
Stir the batter with a wire whisk or fork just until the ingredients are moistened. Any remaining lumps in the batter will disappear during cooking.

Home / News and Events / News Release
The Malone University College of Theology, Arts, and Sciences – Department of Theology will present an information meeting regarding the master of arts degree in theological studies Saturday, April 9 from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. in the café of Berean Christian Store – Copley, located at 143 Rothrock Road, Suite A, in Copley.
The master of arts in theological studies is a 36-hour degree designed specifically to prepare non-ordained church staff, lay leadership and parachurch leaders. Courses are taught at a high level and are carefully crafted to link theoretical knowledge with real ministry situations. At every stage, students are pushed to consider the implications of their study for their own church situation. The MATS program is designed primarily to serve non-ordained church and parachurch ministry leaders; however some denominations will regard the degree as an appropriate credential for ordination. Program participants should consult their church or denominational leadership for guidance in this area.
This innovative concentration, pioneered at Malone, prepares leaders to serve in a ministry opportunity that touches the mind, soul, and body. The concentration is designed to deepen the student's understanding of scripture and theology and to encourage the student to reflect on how this knowledge can help one serve the church as well as the wider culture.

"Brainwashed Propaganda Replacing the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights" (MIAC REPORT, UN, UNEP, IMF, IPCC, TC, PNAC, AIPAC, CFR, CARBON TAX/POPULATION CONTROL (un/unep/ipcc/imf), FLORIDE(local), VACCINES(cdc/who/local), AND A ZILLION OTHER CORPORATIONS YOU'D BEST MAKE SURE YOUR FUCKIN CANDIDATE ISN'T AFFILIATED WITH, ALONG WITH THE DANGEROUS CORPORATE MEDIA CULT OWNING 90% OF THE FUCKING PUBLIC SPECTRUM-SHITTING ON YOUR INTELLIGENCE)
3. "Corruption protected by State Secrets" catch 22, and "No Expedited, Clearly Written Procedures, for taking out a Oath Breaker" (not to be confused with this never-ending-unconstitutional-undeclared-fucking-invisible-war-on-terror)
Authority is actually what's being used to destroy the Constitution.
Frankly in the current discussion we are obviously talking about video. From the patents on the MPEG to everything else and now we need to fight this fight.
So, why hasn't video bandwidth been made cheap enough for Mr. Miller, or anyone else then? Why isn't the speed flying? You've dug up our streets, and made them crap fun for bicycles, your easement to every frigging private property sign already exists!
Why is there still dark fiber?
I'll allow you to separate "internet" from "web."
As long as we understand Paid, "Internet access" is all 64K ports available on TCPIP/UDP/IPX and all the other net protocols connected to others of like kind at a given rate of speed. Otherwise your telling me I am getting a bunch of extra packets for free, which is of course complete horse-pucky.
Then again you'll probably mark me troll.
just so we're clear first, myspace-cn was the account I chose (After my much older account got the password lost) and at the time the reason was because of the hypocrisy over myspace creating myspace-cn (which is now myspace.cn) and no I didn't forget the death threats from china.
I don't want "premium services" with high cost having authority over the internet, or a death spiral TOS/AUP
I don't want FCC mission creep, destroying everything in the end by having authority over the internet, and then passing even more authority based on some BS cyber (sic) war.
1._ Keep in mind the FCC has failed their existing mission, and indeed has removed their original mission statement. Why trust them to take more, when they already ignore their engineers working in the public interest, in leiu of selling frequencies willy-nilly regardless of health or safety and instead embrace the back door deal making to set the positions to screw the public. They have FAILED to manage the spectrum in the public interest as it exists NOW.. Until they prove what they have I say no more authority over your and my networks. They already screwed up your and my spectrum.
2._ Keep in mind it's been awhile since my ISP +Domains +Hosting bills increased. You and I know they will have too with this bankster monetary terrorism destroying us all, ISP and user alike.
Secrets with no accountability, no oversight, being hidden by oath breakers to hide crime, murder, and theft, is tyranny.
There should be an argument that the original docs which were leaked were in fact the soldier/leak was simply upholding his oath, by exposing unconstitutional corruption by oath breakers.
Nobody has clarified the consequences of breaking their oath, and they sure the fuck haven't made it have consequences have any teeth, even when it's clear a leader breaks it, and they haven't given soldiers the tools needed to uphold their sworn oath. Perhaps then we could get the oath's consequences clarified, and some real criminals arrested instead of state secrets being used to hide nasty shit?
You nailed that MF.
Public spectrum vs paid for cable
In the grand poo bagh of things I have to admit it, when stuck in some dusty garage!
(I'm trying for some karma back...lol)
The end game is to eliminate the anonymous. No more whistle blowers because nobody can be anonymous.
Oh you think I am full of conspiracy?

An individual voluntarily requests a smart identity card from her home state. The individual chooses to use the card to authenticate herself for a variety of online services, including:
Credit card purchases,
Online banking,
Accessing electronic health care records,
Securely accessing her personal laptop computer,
Anonymously posting blog entries, and
Logging onto Internet email services using a
Yeah, I am talking conspiracy, conspiracy fact.
Envision It!
A power utility remotely manages Smart Grid software
deployed on an electricity meter. Trusted hardware
modules and secure authentication between the power
company and the meter prevent deploying fraudulent
meters as a way to steal electricity; ensure that the
hardware and software configurations are correct; and
restrict meter software to only run on authorized meters.
Likewise, the meter trusts that instructions and periodic
software upgrades come from the power company.
These trusted interactions reduce the threat of fraudulent
activity and deployment of malware within the Smart Grid.
The Identity Ecosystem is composed of three layers:
Execution Layer – Conducts transactions in accordance with the rules of the Identity
Management Layer – Applies and enforces the rules for participants in the Identity
Governance Layer – Establishes the rules required to function within the Identity
So the system will not be for Truth, Free Speech, Whistle Blowing, it is designed for

Perhaps it's now time to say fuck it all, and stop buying computers, stop building websites, stop shopping online, and go back to being quiet like the 1970's.
That's the endgame. Fuck off if you can't swallow it.
All this is is an example. They can' get a false flag, so they have to set an example because they can't let all that money go to waste without cracking down on something new.

Hi Mike - I installed a First Alert wireless system about two years ago and the system has been flawless. We can't see our drive from inside the house so we set it up to alert my wife when visitors arrive. Cameras need A/C so we set up some outlets on the walls behind the camera to plug the units in. Comes with a small monitor which does a loop recording and has sound capability as well. Camera has about a 50 foot infrared range at night with good dusk and dawn capability as well. I will be adding two more cameras this summer. I think the start up package with one camera was about $275.00 or so. Feel free to call me if you would like more info.......Paul
I have one installed at my dogs kennel to monitor my crazy neighbor, purchased at Sam's Club and working fine!

i'm using swann advanced-series for my kennel and house. can get it from lowes. it works pretty good. wish it worked little better at night but still in the process of making night time become day time at my house with new lights. lol
After looking into this more there are 3 things that I would like, wireless, indoor/outdoor capabilities, and some sort of recording (cloud recording sounds the best). With this in mind any other suggestions?

FOSCAM Fi8904w (<-- I couldn't post a link, but you can google this model)
I use the IP Cam viewer app on my android phone, and I can view video live, listen, speak, and pan the camera. The night video is actually much better than I expected in a lower end camera.
As for recording, I set my camera up to take a picture every 10 seconds and upload this to an FTP server I have. There are software applications that can string these pictures together and make video. As you can imagine, pictures snapped every 10 seconds add up to quite a bit of data after some time, so you should have a way of automating the archiving or removal of this. Also, most web providers will not be happy with you for taking up so much bandwidth. I am still working on a better solution to this myself.
If you have power and wifi (or could run ethernet cable out there as some cameras can get power over ethernet) at the kennel, this might be an option.

Bacterial Vaginosis
Bacterial vaginosis is an infection of the vagina. It is associated with an imbalance of bacteria in the vagina.
A mix of good and bad
bacteria are normally found in the vagina. Bacterial vaginosis occurs when there is an increase in the amount of bad bacteria. The increased bad bacteria causes a decrease in good bacteria. This imbalance can lead to symptoms.
It is not clear exactly what causes the increase in bad bacteria.
Bacterial vaginosis is an infection of the vagina. It is associated with an imbalance of bacteria in the vagina.
Vagina Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Tests may include the following:
- A pelvic exam to look for signs of bacterial vaginosis
- A sample of fluid from the vagina to look for specific bacteria or other infectious agents
To help reduce your chances of getting bacterial vaginosis, take the following steps:
- Abstain from sex or remain monogamous.
- Use condoms when having sex.
- Do not use douches.
- Visit your doctor for regular pelvic exams.
- After bowel movements, wipe from front to back, away from the vagina.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of bacterial vaginosis include:
- Antibiotic use
- Smoking
- Douching
- Having a new sexual partner or multiple partners
- Having sex without a condom
- Using an intrauterine device (IUD) for birth control
Any woman can get bacterial vaginosis, including those who have never had sex.
Some women with bacterial vaginosis do not have any symptoms.
Symptoms that can develop include:
Abnormal vaginal discharge
- Color: white or gray
- Consistency: thin, foamy, or watery
- Odor: fish-like, especially after sex
- Burning feeling while urinating
- Itching around the vagina
- Vaginal irritation
There are several different conditions that can causes these symptoms. Your doctor will help you determine the cause of your symptoms.
Bacterial vaginosis can lead to complications such as:
Increased risk of sexually transmitted diseases such as
, or chlamydia.
Increased chance of getting
pelvic inflammatory disease
Increased risk of
premature birth
Treatment is important even if you do not have any symptoms. The main course of treatment is prescription antibiotic pills or vaginal creams. Finish all medication as prescribed by your doctor even if the symptoms have gone away. This can prevent the infection from recurring.
Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment. If you do have sexual intercourse, use condoms. Usually, male sexual partners do not need to be treated. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you.

In response to a hate crime and the serious injuries inflicted on its victim over the weekend, there will be a concert at 9 pm Friday at the Asylum, to call attention to the crime and to raise money to help the insurance-less victim pay his medical bills.
The 31-year-old man, a local artist and performer, was approached by two men at 12:30 am Saturday, on Cumberland Avenue near the Forest Avenue intersection. The victim's name is being withheld by his friends, police, and the Portland Phoenix to help protect him from future assaults and because he is suffering from head injuries that make him temporarily unable to decide whether to identify himself publicly.
During the encounter, the assailants — the victim described them to friends as a light-skinned black man and a white man — allegedly told the victim he "looked like a faggot," and beat him into unconsciousness. According to his friend Merrie Cartwright, the victim remembers little after that, though he does recall a white car pulling up nearby.
Cartwright says the victim was taken to Maine Medical Center, where he was treated for a concussion and some bleeding on his brain. He has since been released and is resting at home, friends say. Many postings on his MySpace page and on other sites condemn the violence and express hope for his speedy recovery. One expressed concern that "hate crimes are on the rise in Portland," saying this attack "is the third hate crime I have heard about in the past three months."
At press time, Portland police officials had not returned multiple phone calls seeking information on the crime, though Cartwright says officers are following up on several leads.
At Friday's 21+ event, DJ 8-bit, DJ Reverend Benjamin Powers, and DJ Doomsday Jones will spin goth and industrial music. The cover is $4. In addition, the victim's friends have set up a Web site,www.HealPortland.com, to solicit donations to cover the victim's medical costs.

India and Indonesia are short sellers' Asian babes. India kitchen-sinks one measure after another to stem the decline in rupee, only to come across looking desperate. Indonesia does nothing despite calls for interest rate hike, prompting analysts to say Bank of Indonesia is not interested in a stable Rupiah at all.
The saga continues on Monday.
Indonesia's rupiah and stocks plummeted after its current account deficit widened to a record last quarter (4.4% GDP in Q2 from 2.5% GDP in Q1).
Nomura Securities maintains a short one-month rupiah against the dollar position, especially now that the country's funding requirements have risen from a wider current account deficit.
Jakarta Stock Exchange Composite Index lost 5.6%. Dollar gained 1% against Indonesian Rupiah, reaching the intra-day high of IDR10,608.
India's Rupee and stocks continue to tumble. The S&P BSE Sensex Index lost 1.6%, led by Bharti Airtel (IN:532454) (-5.4%) and ICICI Bank (IBN) (-5%). Dollar gained another 1.9% against Indian Rupee today, reaching record high of INR62.9.
Thailand cut 2013 GDP forecast again, after its Q2 GDP unexpectedly shrank 0.3%. Thailand SET Index lost 3.3%. Dollar gained 0.4% against Thai Baht.
Philippine canceled trading on Monday due to a tropical storm and flooding.
FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Index lost 0.6% today. Dollar gained another 0.3% against Malaysian Ringgit.
Meanwhile, China shrugged off last Friday's technical glitch. Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index ended 0.8% higher, led by telecom shares. Hong Kong Hang Seng Index closed 0.2% lower.
China's new home prices in July rose the most since January 2011. Instead of curbing existing home sales, China is now expected to increase supply to tackle the rising property price problem.
Emerging Markets Stocks in the News:
Regulatory headwinds are bucking the trend of the rise of China's brokers. China's securities watchdog started a formal investigation into Everbright Securities (CN:601788) after a "fat finger" trade at the brokerage sent the Shanghai stock market surge over 5% in two minutes on Friday. Hong Kong-listed Haitong Securities (6837.HK) and China Galaxy Securities (6881.HK) lost 1.2% and 1% upon concerns of further industry-wide regulatory controls today.
China's stock performance is driven top-down. Over the weekend, the government issued a new directive urging for more bandwidth across China. ZTE Corp. (ZTCOY) hit the 10% upper limit today.
Brazil's heavily-indebted Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (PBR) agrees to sell $2 billion assets to finance $47 billion investment a year through 2017.
Alibaba Group's highly anticipated IPO may be launched in Hong Kong, if the Hong Kong Stock Exchange allows it to maintain a dual-class ownership structure. Hong Kong generally does not allow dual-class voting structure, but Nasdaq has no problem with it.
Popular headphone maker Beats by Dr. Dre is looking to buy out Asian partner struggling smartphone maker HTC Corp. (TW:2498) and bringing in a new investor. HTC is just not cool enough for Dr. Dre?

President of Somaliland to Speak October 13
Posted December 14, 1999; 10:31 a.m.
In a rare U.S. appearance, the president of Somaliland, Muhammad Ibrahim Egal , will give a public talk in Dodds Auditorium of Robertson Hall at 4:30 p.m. on October 13.
Somaliland (the portion of Somalia previously ruled by the British) declared its independence from Somalia in 1991. While the government, based in Hargeysa, has not been recognized, Somaliland is appealing for international recognition given that the Somali state, based formally in Mogadishu, has collapsed.
Muhammad Ibrahim Egal was Prime Minister of Somalia from 1967 to 1969. He was overthrown in the coup that brought Siad Barre to power and was subsequently imprisoned. He was elected President of Somaliland in 1993 and re-elected in 1997.
