Expressions of Concern About the Deficit Are Not Always What They SeemOctober 05, 2017
Almost every politician at the national level has expressed concern at one point or another about the federal government's budget deficits. But one clear takeaway from the past 25 years is that these concerns are often situational and quickly abandoned as soon as they become politically inconvenient.
Marking 25 Years of Fighting for Fiscal ReformOctober 03, 2017
Concord Coalition supporters gathered to celebrate 25 years of fiscal responsibility education and advocacy at the historical Colonial Inn on Sept. 25 in Concord, Mass.
On Taxes, Senators Should Heed Their Own Prior Debt WarningsOctober 02, 2017
The Senate Budget Committee has embraced deficit-financed tax cuts in its proposed budget resolution, showing an unwarranted disregard for the growing national debt that has -- in the pas
Congressional Budget Problems Create 'Uncertainty and Disruptions'September 26, 2017
Members of Congress often talk about the need to improve government efficiency, but recent te
The Broken Budget Process Should Be Refocused on Long-Term PlanningSeptember 21, 2017
The official federal budget process was established in 1974 by the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act. In practice, the process prescribed by the law has never been followed to the letter, and in recent years it's been abandoned almost entirely. The broken budget process has resulted in policymakers applying quick fixes to avert artificial crises such as government shutdowns instead of making strategic long-term decisions.
Mandatory Spending Growth Means the Budget Debate is Increasingly Focused on a Shrinking Part of the BudgetSeptember 18, 2017
Federal spending can be divided into three main categories. The first category is mandatory spending, which is spending that operates on autopilot based on benefit formulas approved by lawmakers in years past. Mandatory spending makes up about two-thirds of the budget and includes major entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare.
Why the National Debt Just Hit $20 TrillionSeptember 13, 2017
On Sept. 8 the national debt increased by over $300 billion, surpassing $20 trillion for the first time in history -- a symbolic reminder of the federal government's flawed fiscal policy. But how exactly did we get to this point, and why was there such a sharp increase in a single day?
The Debt Limit is More Trouble Than It's WorthSeptember 06, 2017
The original purpose of creating a statutory debt limit in 1917 was not to prevent the government from running up too much debt, but to remove the requirement that Congress authorize individual issuances of debt. The intent was to help ensure that sufficient and timely credit would be available to finance World War I. One hundred years later, things are very different. The main use of the debt limit now is to prevent the government from paying its bills on time, putting the nation's creditworthiness at risk and threatening a global financial crisis.
Tax Cuts Don't Pay for ThemselvesAugust 30, 2017
Some argue that cutting taxes will generate a level of economic growth sufficient to offset a substantial part, if not all, of the revenue lost. Under this theory, tax cuts do not cause deficits, but generate the growth necessary to reduce deficits. Yet, there is little historical or academic evidence from the past decades to suggest that tax cuts alone pay for themselves.
Effective IRS Actions Can Help Cut DeficitAugust 17, 2017
During budget negotiations in the coming weeks, Congress should ensure that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has sufficient funding to effectively enforce the tax laws and improve taxpayer assist

YouTube Software Engineer Weighs in on Flash and HTML5
Balancing the need for an open web and user needs.
John Harding, Software Engineer for YouTube, threw has hat into the Flash/HTML5 debate giving a point-by-point breakdown of the advantages and disadvantages of the free and open <video> tag provided within HTML5. His conclusion: HTML5 is the way of the future, but the format has a ways to go before it can be fully adopted by YouTube.
Harding's first issue with HTML5 video is the lack of a standard format. YouTube uses h.264, but the licensing issues have limited browser support. This led Google to create the WebM project, which uses the recently opened VP8 codec as a new open standard, but the codec is in its infancy, in need of more support and additional improvements and optimizations before it can become viable.
Harding's second issue with HTML5 is the lack of fine control over buffering and self-adjusting video quality based on connection speed. HTML5 doesn't address streaming protocols, yet.
"Flash Player addresses these needs by letting applications manage the downloading and playback of video via Actionscript in conjunction with either HTTP or the RTMP video streaming protocol," Harding said.
Furthermore, HTML5 doesn't offer content protection, something that Flash offers through the RTMPE protocol. And Flash packages and embeds content securely, something HTML5 has yet to fully accomplish and therefore limits it from being embedded on other sites.
Harding's final two issues are relatively small. HTML5 doesn't support fullscreen mode and is just beginning to offer camera and microphone access. He ends his post by championing HTML5's cross-platform compatibility and championed Flash as the best platform for YouTube's video distribution requirements.

Bessy Rane
"Unlike Dickens, who crusaded against a variety of abuses in his fiction, Mrs. Henry Wood was not a reformer; she was a disapprover. She does not suggest that any change in society can overcome the ills of the age, only a stricter adherence to the dictates of the individual conscience. Mrs. North is not evil because of anything that has happened to her, but only because she chooses to be. The trade unions exist, in Mrs. Henry Wood's world, not because workers are badly paid, but simply because workers sometimes become rebellious, seduced by greed and avarice. She never questions that the rules of society should forbid marriage between a member of the gentry and the offspring of a convict, however virtuous the offspring; it goes without saying that social status is more important than character. Although this may make terrible social policy, it also makes for tragic and hence exciting fiction. . . ." -- From Martha Bayless's introduction to Bessy Rane

The accused persons were sentenced to 15 years each on the charge of conspiracy to rob and 15 years on the charge of robbery.
Five persons who attacked a student of Islamic University at his hostel and robbed him of his three mobile phones were on Thursday sentenced to a total jail term of 75 years by an Accra Circuit Court.
The sentence was handed after the Court found them guilty of the charges of conspiracy to rob and robbery.
The accused persons were sentenced to 15 years each on the charge of conspiracy to rob and 15 years on the charge of robbery.
The sentences are to run concurrently.
The convicts are Anthony Galley aka Rasta, a trader, Amewuga Kumafu aka Hugah, a labourer, Richard Tenyuie, a driver's mate, Richard Korley aka Sapele, and Akwasi Aikins aka Macho, both auto electricians.
The Court presided over by Mr Justice Francis Obiri said it took into consideration the increase in robbery cases while the wife of one of the convicts, who has a two month old baby, wept uncontrollably after the judgement was delivered.
Prosecuting Chief Inspector Kofi Adu said Mr Alhassan Mufid; the complainant is a student of the Islamic University at Adjiringanor while the convicts reside at Brazil, a suburb of Agbogboloshie.
On April 16, at about 1230 hours, the complainant and his friends were in front of their student hostel at Adjiringanor snapping picture with their phones when the convicts suddenly attacked them with guns and cutlasses.
Chief Inspector Adu said the convicts threatened the complainant with a gun or cut his body with the cutlass if he failed to surrender his three mobile phones.
Prosecution said the complainant did hand them over and later informed his friends who started tracking the phones with a device but that did not yield any results.
When the matter was reported to the Police and Galley was brought to the Adjiringanor Police station the complainant identified him as one of the robbers who robbed him of his mobile phones.
According to prosecution, Galley led the police and Kumafu, Tenyuie, Korley and Aikins were arrested.
During interrogation, Chief Inspector Adu said, Kumafu told the police that on April 16, he received an Apple Iphone from Moses and Selorm who are at large.
He said Kumafu claimed he sent the iPhone to his brother in law known as Hamza Aziz to keep it for him for a fee of GH₵ 200. When Aziz was arrested the iphone was retrieved.

text: I am looking to get a Android phone and integrate Google Voice with it. However, I am confused as to how this really works. While looking online I've read things about having to use access numbers or having GV call you first, etc. Basically I just want to know this: 1)If I want to make a call using Google Voice on my Android phone, how does it work? 2) Can I simply dial a number and connect to the person I'm dialing using my Google Voice number (without having to call GV first and then enter the number I want to dial OR have to use special access numbers)? 3) Does my GV# show up on their caller id or does some random access number show up? 4) Is there any delay (i.e. longer dialing times than if I were to use my phone's native number? 5) Is there anything different about sending/receiving SMS messages that I need to know about, or is it essentially the same as sending/receiving SMS messages normally? Thanks in advance! EDIT: One more question. Since I'll be on the limited 200mb AT&T data plan, I was wondering if anyone has a rough idea of how much data the Google Voice app uses.

Canonical Problems
Question from on 04-22-2007:
Dear Fr. Gantley:
A friend of mine has been greatly troubled by our pastor. On Sundays, my friend serves as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Commuion to the sick, elderly and homebound. He visits a retirement home just across the street from church. On several occasions, many of the elderly residents have asked my father to inform the pastor that they want to go to confession. On two such occasions, a pair of elderly women who hadn't much longer to live (these incidents occurred several weeks apart), asked my friend to please send the parish priest to them. My friend reported their requests to the pastor, telling him of the grave situations of the two elderly women. "What do you expect me to do, hold their hands," the pastor told my friend.
The priest never went (my friend confirmed this with the retirement home officials and with the women's neighbors) and the women died. One of the women's family members opted not to have her buried at the parish because they were angry at the priest for not going to hear her confession.
My friend is really upset about the whole situation. However, because the priest does not visit the elderly, my friend told me that he cannot give up his ministry, since he's the only one who brings Holy Communion to the sick. My friend is not a young man and he travels through seven floors each Sunday to bring the elderly and the invalids Holy Communion, in addition to visiting three or four households. He wants to write to the bishop. In addition, he wants to also write to the metropolitan of our area as well. If the bishop does nothing, then what could the metropolitan do? Would he be better off writing to Cardinal Arinze?
Another note regarding this priest. For the past several months, he has been holding silent auctions in the church. What's wrong with this? Well, the piece of art in question is displayed in the sanctuary, next to the ambo, and, on the communion rail, he has the silent auction bid sheet. He encourages people to place their bid. Some of them have even made their bids during communion. Right now, he has another auction and the aforementioned method is being used. Does this violate some kind of canon law?
Is is also permissible for this same priest to offer sacramental preparation for students who are attending a non-denominational private school? These students and their parents have their own parishes; however, their parents made arrangments with this same priest to prepare the children and have them receive First Holy Communion in our parish. They will be having their own Mass. Now, the parents have been very generous with the parish. The collections have gone up, but I suspect that it's only because their children are receiving the sacraments at our parish, as opposed to their own parishes. Many liturgical abuses also go on during the celebration of these masses where the children are involved. For example, during the Kyrie, he goes up and down with his microphone to get the children to sing along. Then, he does his own hand-clapping song in lieu of the psalm. He also uses the Eucharistic Prayer for Children, even though there are about 12 children and the rest of the congregation is made up of adults. Canonically, can he have separate preparations for these children? Should they not have gone to their own parishes? Many of us have reason to believe that once these children have received the sacraments, they and their families will not return. The priest will then have to court more parents from the same school.
Finally, can you explain what a diocesan tax is? Does the money raised from these auctions need to be reported to the bishop?
Fr. Gantley, I realize that I'm taxing you with all of these questions, but as you can deduce, we have our hands full.
God bless you, and please pray for us.
Answer by Rev. Mark J. Gantley, JCL on 05-05-2007:
It is appropriate to inform the diocesan bishop of the abuses, especially regarding the problem of individuals not being able to prepare for death through the sacrament of penance.
The archbishop of the province has little authority to intervene in the internal affairs of another diocese (other than his own archdiocese). It would be more appropriate to forward concerns that are not addressed by the diocesan bishop to the appropriate Vatican congregation.
The idea of doing a silent auction in the church does seem to reflect a lack of appreciation of the notion of sacred space. It seems like Jesus used a whip on individuals similarly violating the temple. There isn't any canon that states: "One may not conduct silent auctions in church." Canon law is generally positive and directive. It is not a list of what not to do what is to be done. Generally speaking, it is not described as to be done in the canon law or in the liturgical norms, then it is not to be done.
If the pastor has the permission from the proper pastor of these children from the private school to prepare them for the sacraments and give them the sacraments, then this is OK. Otherwise, it is not OK. If he has the permission of the proper pastor of the children, then he can prepare them as a particular group or however he sees fit.
I assume that what is meant by a "diocesan tax" is an assessment placed upon a parish's, in accord with the canonical procedures, that is used to fund diocesan programs, functions and offices.
It is the responsibility of the pastor to report all financial activities to the diocese. This includes all fundraising activities. The diocese usually spells out the manner of the reporting. You might want to check with a member of the parish finance council to see if these auction profits are reported properly.

The best hot dog in the world?
Every once and a while, you stumble on a great idea, so great that when you finally see it come to life, it is grander and better than you ever dreamed.
After a discussion about gourmet hot dogs and an article in Bon Apetit magazine, my friend Sean and I decided to make banh mi hot dogs. For those of you who might not be familiar with these truly delicious culinary wonders, they are a type of Vietnamese sandwich served on a baguette. But rather than take up too much time explaining all the magic they hold, I will give you a chance to read the wikipedia article.
Back now? Great. The plan was made, and I got cracking on preparing the ingredients to make our banh mi dog a reality. I bought cilantro, mini cucumbers (but any seedless one would work fine), jalapenos, and prepared the marinated carrots. Some people would include mayo or pate, but assuming that the hot dog was bad enough for us, we skipped those options. I also got some french bread instead of the usual soft hot dog roll. Here is a pic of the results (already bitten into as you can see):
I can't tell you enough how tasty these were. Almost as good as regular banh mi. I really think it is the carrots and cilantro that really make everything incredible. I should start putting that stuff on everything..in fact, maybe I will. Below I have put the recipe for the carrots because it is insanely easy and I want people to make these hot dogs stat! No hard to find or special ingredients required!
Pickled carrots
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 cups shredded carrot
Boil vinegar and add sugar. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved. Take off heat and let cool a bit before adding carrots. Stir to coat and let sit overnight in the fridge.

Monday 12 July 1999
The World Today is a comprehensive current affairs program which backgrounds, analyses, interprets and encourages debate on events and issues of interest and importance to all Australians. Below is the program summary with links to transcripts and audio (if available).
Care Australia workers Steve Pratt and Peter Wallace will face a review appearance before the Supreme Yugoslav military court tomorrow. Peter Wallace's father Ross has expressed hopes that Slobodan Milosevic's hand-chosen military chiefs will give his son and the others a fair go.
Small business is today calling on the Federal Government to force Australia's big retail chains to divest some of their market share. The Council of Small Business Organisation claims the big chains currently have 82 per cent of the market with the biggest player of them all, Woolworths, dominating, with 30 per cent market share.
Michael Kroger's reputation as a maker and breaker of Liberal Party politics in Victoria has taken a bit of a battering over the weekend, with Jeff Kennett again emerging as the force to be reckoned with. Mr Kennett's preferred candidate for the seat of Brighton, Louise Asher, has won pre-selection.
In an interesting interpretation of the Melanesian way of doing things, Port Moresby is today playing host to two Chinese Embassies, as both Taipei and Beijing await the outcome of tomorrow's parliamentary vote for a new prime minister and a new government.
The Prime Minister, John Howard, will be meeting President Clinton tomorrow, not only to discuss the US decision on lamb but also to cover broader trade issues and foreign policy matters like Timor and the imprisoned Australian aid workers in Yugoslavia. On the eve of the visit, he's been attending a barbie hosted by his Ambassador in Washington, Andrew Peacock.
As Australia's state and territory leaders meet to discuss health care, the US Senate will debate a new bill of rights for patients. The Democrat-initiated plan, which President Clinton has backed as a matter of life and death as he puts it, aims to give millions of patients more control over medical decisions currently made by insurance companies.
A worldwide alert has been issued for Australia's most notorious alleged war criminal, 86-year-old Konrad Kalejs. The former Nazi left his Melbourne Latvian retirement village in June on a flight for London, believed though he was going on to another destination somewhere else.
After two months of fighting, today there is the prospect today of some calm for the disputed region of Kashmir. India and Pakistan are moving to disengage their forces from the conflict.
A big conference of museum professionals in Canberra this week is asking the question, the obvious one, what will museums of the 21st century look like? Dr Lonnie Bunch, associate director of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, says the secret is getting museums to be exciting, people-driven places.
Aborigines in south western New South Wales are preparing to go to court to stop an ancient burial ground containing up to 16,000 graves from being flooded for irrigation. The Murray Darling Basin Commission wants to raise the level of Lake Victoria this week. Local Koori people say the cost of giving South Australia its full allocation of water will be inundation of one of the world's most significant burial sites.

The easiest way would be to get DB2 Connect (requires a license which is not free unless you get Try and Buy), and the export the data in del format (and name it data.csv). Not sure if you can connect directly to the database from Excel using ODBC. If you have problems, make sure you specify the code page on the export command. You will also have to do a remote bind (one time) from the DB2 client to the z/OS for DB2 client utilities if no one has previously done it for the client version/fixpack you are using.
There may be a way to extract data in comma delimited display format on z/OS and then file transfer the dataset to your PC (you will need some kind of file transfer program that will convert from EBCDIC to ASCII such as usually included with 3270 terminal emulators).M. A. Feldman

Thanks Marcus,
I just wondered is there any way to avoid the db2 connect license. Are there any DB2 ODBC drivers available for this purpose please ?


text: PRCF is a relatively small environmental NGO working in several countries in SE Asia focusing on biodiversity, ecosystems, and landscapes of global conservation significance. For me what makes PRCF different to other conservation NGOs is their long term presence on the ground at their field sites and the emphasis on working with remote and often ethnic minority or tribal community groups. I worked for PRCF for just over 1 year in 2006-2007, managing an environmental education project at Ba Be National Park in northern Vietnam. PRCF has maintained a programme at Ba Be for a number of years and works closely with both the park staff and the resident ethnic Tay and Nung minority groups in conserving this very special limestone landscape. Much of their funding for this work comes from the Regional Network for Indigenous Peoples and indeed they facilitated the hosting of a RNIP workshop in 2008 at Ba Be, where ethnic minority leaders and staff of similar projects gathered to discuss rights-based approaches to conservation and development. My fondest memories were of the annual Tay New Year festival where we used to run a stall with environmental education activities for local children - very messy and lots of fun!

Edexcel (to be confirmed)
Course Description:
All students continue their study of Mathematics to GCSE with a scheme of work designed to give progression from Key Stage 3.
The syllabus has five key elements:
- Number
- Ratio, proportion and rates of change
- Algebra
- Geometry and Measures
- Statistics and Probability
Within each of these areas there is a strong emphasis on problem solving and mathematical reasoning.
During the course, students are given opportunities to use and apply the mathematics they have learned in the key elements. Some of the tasks set incorporate the use of ICT. Students in the top sets will also study for an additional mathematics qualification selected to suit the needs and strengths of the group.
Teaching and Learning Styles:
The style used at GCSE is similar to that already adopted at Key Stage 3. Students will be expected to work individually and with others. As with Key Stage 3, students will meet various techniques which they can apply to exam questions. Lessons incorporate use of ICT, visual resources, interactive and investigational tasks, work from textbooks and exam preparation.
The course is assessed through final examinations in Year 11, consisting of a combination of calculator and non-calculator papers.
Students will take examinations at the tier most appropriate to their ability and target grade
Higher 4 – 9
Foundation 1 – 5
Students are grouped according to the level achieved at Key Stage 3, and their target grade at GCSE.
Further information on the above course can be obtained from Mrs H Scourfield, Head of Mathematics Faculty.

Japanese automaker Suzuki pulled silk veils off a couple of concepts before this year's big apple auto show, each based off their Kizashi sport sedan currently making waves in dealerships across America. The Apex concept (Blue) takes an already sporty formula and adds gusto with a Garrett turbo system, air to liquid intercooler, recalibrated ECU and a set of menacing black 19-inch wheels and low profile rubber. The result, decked out in stickers and graphics that pay homage to Suzuki's motorcycle racing team, is a decidedly sporty affair with an estimated 300 ponies residing under hood. Note to Suzuki…please make this.
On the flip side of the consumer appeal spectrum is the EcoCharge (white), a concept more concerned with fuel savings than 0-60 times. The car, which mates a lithium ion battery with a little four cylinder gas engine, features fuel saving technology like stop/start, regenerative braking and low rolling resistance tires. The result takes an already frugal 30 MPG Kizashi to nearly 38 MPG.
We've sampled Kizashi and had good things to say about its drive dynamics, handsome looks and excellent fuel economy. Expanding the line up with sport and eco variants embodied by these concepts seems like a great way to build on an already appealing product. Let's hope they actually build them.

Sirhind (Amritsar), June 25 ANI): Sikh demonstrators on Wednesday blocked railway routes in Punjab demanding action against the Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, over the alleged murder of a sikh youth by his bodyguards.
On June 21, a Sikh man in Mulund, a suburb of Mumbai, was allegedly killed by the security guards of Ram Rahim, who opened fire on Sikh protesters outside a shopping mall.
Damdami Taksal, a hardline Sikh organization had called for a blockade on the busy Delhi-Amritsar train route.
In a sit-in protest at Sirhind railway station of Fatehgarh Sahib District, the organization demanded arrest of Ram Rahim.
"Unless the government arrests and registers case against Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, killer of an innocent Sikh, this train blockade will continue from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Even then, if the government does not arrests him then the Sikh religious bodies will meet and decide on the future course of action," Harnam Singh Bhindranwale, chief of the Damdami Taksal, said.
The community also organized a protest march in Amritsar and burnt an effigy of the chief of the Dera.
Meanwhile, the police are keeping a tight vigil to maintain peace.
"We have deployed force so that there is no sabotage activity by any quarter and it is our duty to ensure that this agitation passes off peacefully," said Kaustubh Sharma, Senior Superintendent of Police of Fatehgarh Sahib District.
Relations between the followers of the Dera Sacha Sauda sect and mainstream Sikhs have been soured for almost a year now.
Dera chief sparked a huge uproar by the Sikhs a few months ago when Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh allegedly tried to imitate the dress and activities of the last Sikh guru:Guru Gobind Singh.
The move enraged the Sikh community.
Ram Rahim later tendered an apology, saying he had no intention of hurting the sentiments of the Sikhs, but the Sikh clerics rejected the apology.

Helsinki, Oct. 9 (Reuters): Nokia on Thursday pointed the finger at unauthorised, counterfeit batteries after another of its phones exploded and burnt its user, the third such case in two months, and said original batteries sold with its phones were safe.
The worlds largest mobile phone maker said earlier a young Vietnamese woman was hospitalised with burns after her mobile phone apparently exploded.
Chung Xao Le, 22, was having breakfast yesterday in a cafeteria at a hospital in Ho Chi Minh City where she worked as a therapist when her phone in her pocket, a Nokia 8210, exploded.
Le suffered from burns of 10 per cent and remains in hospital.
The incident follows two similar accidents in the Netherlands, one last week and the other in August.
Following the latest Dutch incident, which left a 15-year-old boy in the town of Hengelo with leg burns, the countrys consumer watchdog said it would probe the case.
We dont yet have any information on what is the origin of the battery in the Vietnam case, Nokia Mobile Phones spokesman Kari Tuutti said.
(But) there hasnt been a single case of an original battery exploding anywhere in the world, he said.
Nokia has cited faulty batteries from independent electronics manufacturers for similar incidents in the past.
Nokia has said these manufacturers violated security requirements which should prevent the battery heating up after short circuiting, for instance, after the phone was dropped.
Contraband and counterfeit mobile phone batteries are widely available in Vietnam in local markets at around $2-$3 a piece compared to $20 for genuine product, a local Nokia spokesman said.
The biggest issue is with counterfeit, illegal batteries, Tuutti said.
Therefore we recommend that retailers and consumers try to verify the products sold have original batteries.
Nokia has sent a team of technicians to investigate the blast, which could have been caused by a fake battery, Huu Nguyen, a communications officer for the Finnish companys office in Ho Chi Minh City said.
Mobile phones are becoming increasingly popular in Vietnam despite modest incomes and there are around 1.6 million mobile phone users among the population of 80 million.

When the local authorities ask Kyle Juenger to hunt a shape-shifting Glyrinny spy, he can't refuse. After all, he can use the reward to replace his paralyzed legs with cyberware, and maybe even to return to his home planet. Besides, he hates the morphs - those invasive, brain-eating monstrosities whose weapons cost him his legs.
Kyle's best lead is the Scorpion, a mercenary ship armed to the teeth. Grimm, the Scorpion's pilot and captain, fascinates Kyle. He's everything Kyle lost with his legs, and he's from the same home world. He's also of the warrior caste - half priest, half savior. But Grimm's been twisted by life as a merc, and Kyle's stuck undercover as a criminal on the run.
That doesn't stop Grimm from coming on to Kyle, or from insisting he's more than the sum of his past and his useless legs. But Kyle has other concerns - like tracking a dangerous morph who could be wearing anyone's face. And as if things weren't complicated enough, Kyle can't tell if Grimm is part of the solution... or part of the problem.

Gripping, personal, a fantastic collaboration
Equally compelling, but the audio kicked it up a notch. Definitely a collaboration meant to be.
This is a deeply personal story. Most of all, for Kyle, the main character and through whose eyes and heart and body we experience what is surely only one of many journeys for him. His is the umbrella of a metaphor for all of the others contained within. They're subtle but definite, gently nudging but undeniable and unmistakable. Self-acceptance, altering one's thinking which leads to realizations and new points of view, and most important of them all is seeing how we as individuals fit within our world even as it changes around us. Control is almost always out of reach and Kyle has learned and continues to learn this through some quite unpleasant as well as most enjoyable ways.
This story is a bit of an anomaly in the general sci-fi world in that it's not a tome, overflowing with mind-cramming detail and bloated world-building. Instead, I was easily placed within this universe of Kyle's, quickly learning how the economy worked, what kind of agencies and institutions were vying for that squirrely control, and who was more or less likely to suffer because of those struggles. Kyle was on the front lines.
There are some scenes where things feel rushed, almost like skipping stones across the surface of the water. I'm getting most of the story but it feels like some things are missing, like the connection isn't completely made or potential skimmed.
I'd read this book a couple of years ago and enjoyed it. It wasn't tops on my list but it's Voinov and his ability to choose every single word and combination of words seemingly perfectly so it's better than most. This audio experience, though… by the time I'd come to the end, I felt like I'd just landed after having been transported to a special, intense, important, and sexy world. I felt oddly and wonderfully subdued, filled with compassion, content, and open.
In other words, this story and this narrator were meant to come together.
Also, I now really want to know the where, how, and what for Kyle and his future. So many interesting questions and idears started popping up in my ol' noggin.
Narration Review:
I hope Gomez Pugh will forgive me when I say that narrating, ne storytelling, is one of the things he was clearly born to do. He knows where to place emphasis on words and phrases, altering his volume and cadence, both in single moments and as each character. He's into it, pulling me into it, the story, without becoming an overwhelming focus, without putting himself and his voice into the center, replacing the story. It's such a fine line and he dances along, beside, and across it with perfection. Believe me, that's no exaggeration.
When I read, I sometimes have clear voices for the characters and sometimes I don't. That's not a reflection of the writing or the characters or the story, I just don't always cement the sounds of them for myself as I'm reading. Pugh has given me a voice for Kyle, and it was unexpected and fantastic at that, adding to his grinding, gritty existence and instinctual pull towards survival. He's given me voices for Grimm (I can hear his smirk and his power and his intelligence) and Winter (sarcastic, strong, and certain) and the asshole officer and hoity toity receptionist, all of the bit players getting their fair representation.
I'm not off to go find everything he's narrated, which includes a certain cop series that I love.
Enjoy listening!

Goal-by-Goal Analysis: Notre Dame
NCAA Tournament Midwest Regional Semifinal
Friday, March 25, 2016
Michigan 3, Notre Dame 2 (OT)
1st period
UM 1 ND 0 EV 10:31 Assists: Kile & Downing
Nieves wins the draw back to Downing. The wingers go in motion off the draw, with Kile going from right to left. This picks up the attention of the defender in front of the net, who takes a few steps with him. Meanwhile, Selman is skating through the faceoff circle, now left unoccupied thanks to the defender being drawn out toward Downing.
Two defenders are watching Kile as he receives the pass from Downing. Nieves has locked up the defender nearest Selman in the high slot; he did so immediately off the draw, and this is just where they ended up. Selman is blitheringly open, though ND goaltender Cal Petersen is square to Kile. Selman's shot catches him off guard, and he isn't able to move across and re-square before the puck's behind him.

Scrappy Used To Be An Insult
3/25/2016 – Michigan 3, Notre Dame 2 (OT) – 25-7-5
3/26/2016 – Michigan 2, North Dakota 5 – 25-8-5, season over
[Patrick Barron]
When things went badly for Michigan this year, they tended to go bad in bunches. An inability to get a clean zone exit against certain hyperactive teams led to periods where Michigan got bombarded in its own end. Until the tournament these periods weren't even against good teams, since there weren't any on the schedule.
Half the time Michigan would fight back out of these holes, sometimes wielding puck-loaded tommy guns. (Literally: before the North Dakota game Michigan was 4-4-4 going into the third period down.) While the Notre Dame game wasn't quite as explosive as various Big Ten comebacks, they did rebound from a horrendous second period on Friday to get a grip on the game, one they would eventually use to win the game on a gorgeous behind-the-back pass from JT Compher.
That was something. Through two periods that game felt like nothing so much as the last time Notre Dame and Michigan played. That CCHA championship game was Michigan's last ditch attempt to salvage their tourney streak. Michigan grabbed an early lead in the kind of game that feels over as soon as the opposition ties it; Notre Dame tied it. There was a flicker there of something different. If only someone else, something else loomed.
There was no similar respite against North Dakota, and that's the problem.
Michigan and North Dakota are, or at least were, mirror images of each other. They recruit speed and skill directly after high school. They're piled high with NHL draft picks. They win a ton of games and get shot down in the tournament by bloody, goofy fate. But these last two meetings, spread out as they are over five years, demonstrate that the programs have diverged.
The first was the Tiny Jesus game. Michigan got outshot 2 to 1, gave up a blizzard of grade A scoring chances, and saw Shawn Hunwick stone every last one of them. I thought about that game on Saturday; North Dakota fans thought about that game on Saturday. Neither of us were happy to think about that game. Never has a team absolutely crushing their opponent without having anything to show for it on the scoreboard induced so much despair in their own fans as I imagine North Dakota did during that first period. At one point shots were 15-3, and all underthings were in danger of soiling.
That state of affairs took an irrationally long time to resolve itself, because single elimination playoff hockey is barely weighted plinko. You know this; you saw Michigan bomb Air Force's goalie over and over to no effect. The "hot goalie" thing has always seemed to be a bad way to think about the fact that hockey is pretty random.
Anyway, this is what I meant when I said the plinko was in our favor this year: Michigan wasn't in North Dakota's class except on the scoreboard. By the end of the game Michigan had once again been outshot 2 to 1. They gave up nearly 50 shots.
In the years bookended by these games, North Dakota has been slashed down in the Frozen Four twice and at this stage twice. Michigan saw entire four-year careers come and go without a tourney bid. Last year's team had the NHL rookie of the year, another guy who played 70 games right out of college, and Hobey finalist Zach Hyman and couldn't make the tourney. A team with Jacob Trouba on it missed the tourney. This team features a top line of future NHLers, one of whom was so rampant he will win the Hobey himself, and Racine's performance is the only thing disguising the fact they got run off the ice by North Dakota.
The talent is there; has always been there. The team is not on an elite level anymore.
I guess trying hard and going down fighting to a vastly superior team is preferable to some of the alternatives we saw over the past few years. That assertion was featured in some pushback on Twitter after I said "it's over" for Red, as if Michigan—Michigan!—was some try-hard program that's just happy to be here. I guess some people are just happy to be here, these days.
I was one of them for most of the year because I'd resigned myself to the fact that Michigan hockey isn't what it once was. This is indisputably true. Michigan once was a team with a 22-year tourney streak. Michigan used to go out like North Dakota, shaking their fists after dominating attack time and possession. That hasn't happened for a long time, and it's hard to envision a Red team that will do that in the future.
So, no, Michigan Daily, Red should not return next year. This season is not a return to form. It is an extension of same against a terrible schedule with a transcendent one-and-done. If there wasn't a ready-made candidate waiting in the wings there might be a case. But there is, and it's time for Mel Pearson to get the job he's waited 30 years for. Only Red can make that call; here's hoping he does.
A thought for Steve Racine. For Racine to finish this season with a save percentage of .914 is a danged miracle. Even so he has to endure goofs like Dave Starman deriding him as Michigan's weak point despite the fact that there can't be another goalie on a decent team in the country who endured the same shot quality he did. He made some big mistakes at times—two goals came from outside the blueline this year—but he is clearly Michigan's best goalie since Shawn Hunwick.
The statistics will not reflect this assertion. The scatter charts will.
The Big Ten excuse doesn't fly. Have seen a number of assertions that Michigan was ill-prepared to play North Dakota because they are good and the Big Ten is not. Such assertions fail to deal with the fact that Michigan got run over by Ohio State just three weeks ago, that Michigan didn't even win the not good league, that Michigan had control over 14 nonconference games and came up with BU and nobody else within spitting distance of an at-large bid.
Michigan's defense was a travesty most of the year; there was plenty of opportunity to fix it, but it didn't get fixed, just like it didn't get fixed any of the last four years.
Looking towards next year. Mike Spath says that Werenski, Downing, and Connor are almost certainly out the door and that Motte and Compher will get pushed by NHL teams to sign.
Those two guys will have to decide between getting a jump on their entry level contracts or returning and having the flexibility Zach Hyman did after his senior year. Hyman forced a trade to the Leafs and is now in the NHL permanently since Mike Babcock loves him. I've also heard that Compher is in Ross and has a very high profile degree he can complete next year, which is motivation to return.
If Michigan gets Motte and Compher back their lines might look something like this:
- Motte-Compher-Kile
- Calderone-Marody-Warren
- Dancs-Shuart-Pastujov
- Lockwood-Merl-Sanchez
Pastujov, Sanchez, and Lockwood should be mid-round picks in the upcoming draft.
- De Jong-C. Martin
- Cecconi-Boka
- L. Martin-Luce
Luce will be a mid-round pick.
That's not bad but it lacks an out-and-out star on defense unless Luke Martin, who's eligible for the 2017 draft, is the top-15-pick various mock draft sites are projecting him as.
If Compher and Motte depart things start getting grim. The only forwards not listed above are Evan Allen, Niko Porikos, and incoming PWO Lukas Samuelsson.
Breakout failures. It was uncanny how North Dakota destroyed Michigan by attacking the second pass. Most of the time a D's pass up to a forward saw that F under immediate pressure, whereupon he either threw it up the ice blindly or turned it over right there. It reminded me of watching the USMNT play Germany in the most recent world cup. North Dakota's forecheck is a high press that destroyed Michigan's offensive rhythm for most of the game. Their goals were more or less both on the power play; at 5x5 they did not score.
5x5: all of it. Michigan had one full power play in 130 minutes of hockey and drew one other penalty. This was a disaster for the nation's top power play. It resulted from a combination of excellent discipline from opponents, Michigan's inability to possess the puck, and refs lacking the courage to blow the whistle.
This was particularly acute in the Saturday game. An obvious interference call as Motte attempted to dump and chase in the first five minutes of the North Dakota game went unpunished, and after that it was free-for-all for both teams. By the third period Michigan defensemen could get their stick slashed out of their hands repeatedly with no reaction from the referee.
North Dakota was the superior team and deserved to win the game, but I'm frustrated that the game tilted even further to them because the refs decided that playoff hockey has different rules than regular hockey.
A fitting end. Michael Downing's slashing penalty with two and half minutes left was the final nail in the coffin, and a fitting way for him to go out. It was a two-handed chop down on a guy's arm in a situation where you'd rather just let the guy take his shot. I can't remember a more frustrating player other than maybe the freshman version of Jack Johnson, and Johnson was incredible as a sophomore.
Meanwhile Downing never shook the violence and bad decisions that plagued his game at Michigan. Notre Dame's opening goal on Friday was an odd-man rush he ceded with an awful decision. He then compounded it by falling down as the play entered the defensive zone.
I don't think Michigan will miss a beat without him. They went 3-0 during his various suspensions this year.
Hello: J'Marick Woods
This post has been updated.

Michigan picked up its second commit of the morning when Florence (AL) safety J'Marick Woods announced his pledge in both video and note form on Twitter moments ago, a couple hours after MA RB AJ Dillon also committed to the Wolverines. Woods is a lanky safety listed between 6'2" and 6'4" on the recruiting sites; he's a four-star to Scout and a high three-star elsewhere.
Woods is the eighth commit in the 2017 class and the first at safety. After his commitment, Michigan is eighth in the 2017 composite class rankings. He plans to enroll early.

While Scout initially looks like an outlier as the only service to give Woods four stars, a closer look reveals all four services have him in a similar range: between 22-31 in the safety position rankings and on the 3/4-star borderline.
Woods is a tall safety, listed between 6'2" (Rivals) and 6'4" (Scout) with ESPN and 247 splitting the difference; his weight is listed between 187 and 205 pounds. Based on recent photos, he looks to be on the higher end of that height listing. Get used to him being described as "rangy."

Hello: AJ Dillon (Updated)
photo via 247
Groton (MA) Lawrence Academy running back AJ Dillon is the grandson of former Notre Dame All-American Tom Gatewood. He made multiple visits to South Bend throughout the recruiting process, including one for their Junior Day within a couple weeks of his planned decision. According to Steve Lorenz, even the Irish had an uphill battle heading into Dillon's most recent round of visits, and Michigan had work to do as well:
Going into his visit last week, I posted that it was going to be a good barometer visit for both Michigan and Dillon, as we had the Wolverines possibly running fourth on his list. Wisconsin was the favorite, he was a Notre Dame legacy prospect, and Florida State was his childhood favorite.
However, this visit turned into somewhat of a home-run for both parties, as Michigan was really impressed with Dillon and what he brought to the table from an on and off the field standpoint. The same could be said on the other side, as we were told that the strong visit to Ann Arbor caught Dillon and his camp off-guard. A good indicator of this is the quick commitment not only post-visit, but also when seeing Wisconsin and Notre Dame after he saw Michigan last week.
A few days after Dillon's ND visit, he made his way to Ann Arbor, and that was enough to convince him to blaze his own trail and attend Michigan:
"I got that feel of the atmosphere, the people, and everything was clicking," Dillon said. "It's just a place I could see myself in the next three to four years. I know I'll develop as a young man, as a student and a great football player at the University of Michigan."
Dillon is the seventh commit in the 2017 class—AL S J'Marick Woods has since become the eighth—and the second at running back, joining Georgia three-star Kurt Taylor.
|247 Comp

Dillon's rankings are split between solid four-star (Rivals, 247) and generic three-star (Scout, ESPN), which isn't unusual at this stage for a prospect from a state not known for producing a ton of football talent. Michigan fans have seen this before with Massachusetts prospects; Mo Hurst's rankings belied his ability that was apparent on tape, the same could be said for incoming freshman Sean McKeon, and after watching his film I'd say that's the case with Dillon.
There's far less discrepancy in the listings of his size. Dillon is listed at 6'0", 228 on the low end (Rivals) and 6'1", 235 on the high end (Scout); he's got the build of an every-down back and could even be a linebacker if Michigan so chooses—though they've told Dillon they want him as a RB.

Open Practice Impressions
Before we start, folks who aren't going to be mentioned because they were on the sideline: Jehu Chesson, David Dawson, Ryan Glasgow, Mo Ways, Kingston Davis, Karan Higdon, Shelton Johnson.
Established guys we didn't see much of
I've seen a number of open practices by now and there's always a subclass of guys who aren't hurt but don't play much. Those guys are gentlemen who have established who they are and are too important to the team to expose them to extensive contact. They've made it, more or less. (These are never OL or DL.)
Most of the gentlemen who fell into this category are obvious: Jake Butt, Jabrill Peppers, Amara Darboh, Jourdan Lewis. There was one that indicates a supposedly contested position battle that might not be all that contested: De'Veon Smith saw very few live contact carries.
Tyrone Wheatley Jr Is A Tight End, And A Mutant
[Bryan Fuller]
Some guys leap off the field the first time you see them in action, because… whoah. Devin Funchess did so at the first open practice these eyes ever laid eyes on, and that proved itself more or less correct over the course of his career. It was immediately apparent that Funchess was a rare combination of size and mobility.
Tyrone Wheatley Jr. is that plus 70 pounds. He's not Funchess. He's in fact the opposite of Funchess as far as blocky/catchy types go. But he has that same combination of size and mobility that makes you go "whoah" the first time you see him in action. I was typing out tweets about how his ability to relocate himself at his size was uncanny even before he did this:
@mgoblog pic.twitter.com/QdfiIof8DL
— ap (@plurjuice) March 26, 2016
That's not a great angle; I had one. Devin Bush Jr had outstanding coverage underneath Wheatley, grabbing an arm and forcing the one-handed stab. Which Wheatley made, escaped/stiffarmed an understandably stumbling Bush, and then outran a bunch of LBs and safeties to the endzone. Even though large chunks of the crowd had left by that point it drew the largest cheer of the day, and deservedly.
That was not a one-off play. Wheatley had four or five other catches where he looked both unexpectedly mobile and a natural receiver. He also had an outstanding block in space against Chase Winovich that allowed John O'Korn to uncork a long post throw to Grant Perry for a touchdown.
There have been persistent rumors that Wheatley was destined for OL because of his size and some assertions to that effect in Rivals's Inside The Fort posts. This practice will definitively dispel those rumors. Wheatley isn't just a tight end, he is a potential gamebreaker. At 280.
[After THE JUMP: future mutants, QB battle, an extant run game, and some dude from Malaysia.]
Spring Practice Presser 3/26/16: Jim Harbaugh
News bullets and other items:
Reon Dawson and Jaron Dukes are medically retiring.
Freddy Canteen and Moe Ways recently had shoulder and foot surgery, respectively. Canteen's status with the program is in the air; Ways should be back in 3-4 months.
Speight, O'Korn, and Morris are getting more snaps than the other QBs, but they're all still making at least one "big mistake" every practice.
Devin Bush Jr. had his best practice of the spring on Saturday.
Harbaugh responded to Gene Smith's comments because he felt a shot was fired across Michigan's bow and, after waiting many hours, thought he needed to do the same. Just never, ever tell him that he likes to get in twitter wars because it's a form of competition.
Harbaugh said it doesn't matter to him what time of day games are played; a night game or lack thereof doesn't faze him.
What did you see out there from your group today, and what were you looking for specifically here today?
"Uh, you know, good, competitive football fight. Getting better: in a lot of areas we are and in a lot of other areas not bad and other and all areas we need to keep improving, so…the guys are grindin'."
Did your quarterback rotation go about how you wanted, and what did you see out of those guys?
"Uh…you know, there's—like I told them, there's, you know…we're looking for a quarterback to move the team and not make the big mistake. They're all in the mode of a big mistake a day, so we're not—we're just gonna keep plugging away and keep getting better, keep giving them things they can improve on, things they can take and use. Looking forward to the game setting. Maybe that'll be another good test, but they're getting a lot of tests right now. Strides are being made, but we've still got a long row to hoe."
What does it do for your fans and for your team to come out here in this setting at Ford Field and open it up?
"I think it's great in the way of sometimes spring practice can get monotonous. Some would even say boring. There's no game that comes at the end of the week. It's something different. Something to make it livelier, special—that's what we get out of it. To have people in the stands, always felt that makes it better. Even the cameras, even the TV cameras—even if they didn't have film in them, you know?"
They don't anymore.
/long pause
"Touché. So even if you had a camera that wasn't actually recording anything guys would work hard. Guys would enjoy it more. People are watching, so that's a good thing for us."
With the quarterbacks, are you still repping them evenly or are you changing that up some?
"I'd say there's Wilton [Speight], John [O'Korn], Shane [Morris] getting more. It's not dead even anymore, no."
Would it be Wilton, John, Shane in that order?
"I can't even make an order right now. It's to be determined still. It means a lot to all of them. You can tell in the way they play and just continuing to be able to play loose and play smart and continue to get repetitions. Continue to get looks and learn—that's what they need to see right now. Looking forward to some game-like action. We're going to make it game-like in the spring game. Everything's going to be real tackle football live; the quarterbacks, everybody. There'll be live bullets for them, so that'll be a nice, good-size task for us. Looking forward to seeing how that plays out."

I have not watched all season. I'm irritated that many of the stars selected have had dance or choreography training. Mya most especially. I'm rootong for Kelly all the way. She is the only reason I'm tuning in. I now wish I had watched the entire season to see her growth.
Is that a new trophy? (they showed it coming back from the break) It looks different.
Ah. As if the deck isn't stacked enough for Mya, she gets the only intelligent judge as her "coach" (and the one who's score/opinion no doubt counts most with the home viewers, since we all know Bruno and Carrie-Ann are flakes).

Another poor song choice for a paso...We Will Rock You? And it's too fast? Oy vey...
I have to say Mya looks more like the pro than Dmitry.
And they get a decent enough song for the paso, too, so no challenge that.
Eh. Just going through the motions. Can't say I was excited.
Was that a hip hop move she just put in there?
The judges will love it. There's all the DWTS alumni-the Woz, Steve-O, Lisa, Harry...

Nomura - Radar Robot Topolino
|click here to return to the previous page..
Nomura - Radar Robot ( Topolino Robot )
I always wondered why this Radar Robot was also called "Topolino" robot untill I first saw him in real. Topolino seems to be the italian word for Mickey Mouse and yes, though the robot has not such big ears and no tail his smile does remind you of Mickey Mouse :) This wonderfull Topolino Robot was build in the mid 1960`s In Japan by Nomura and is in the top 10 of most wanted on earth.....
Topolino Robot shares its body with the famous Tulip Head Robot also build by Nomura. The shape of the Body, arms and legs looks the same but are also different.
The arms are hollow and are the same as the ones used on Tulip robot but used in a grey color for this robot. I spent a lot of time to find out if the arms had to be solid or not. Result is that solid arms are reproduction arms, hollow arms are 100 % original. The production process for a hollow arm is MUCH more difficult. Therefore reproduction arms are made solid. Topolino Robot has also moving arms, he walks like most of his brother so but his head is manually movable and I have not see that before with other robots from the sixties. In his chest he shows a sort of spacescene and there are colored moving gears and a very ( not mickey mouse ) nice robotsound. and best of all: Topolino Radar Robot works as if it was made yesterday. It runs strong with moving arms, spinning gears, spacescene and robotsound and it walks perfectly.
The condition of this incredible scarce and rare robot is excellent. No rust, no dings and everything ( also the often missing ears ) is original. There is some minor playwear but the beautifull litho is clear and shiny. You can see this robot has not much been played with and did spent most of its life in display mode.
One of the Holy Grails for many collectors and Most will not even been able to see this robot in real.
Scarce and very Rare.

America, like any good capitalist nation worth its salt, is always full of people trying to sell you something. Anything can be bought and sold in this, the world's great global marketplace. And most people are willing buyers. People will even buy a new soul, if you can convince them the one they have is outmoded. And people are always in the market for shit to believe in. And why wouldn't they be? For most people, the realization that they're merely a pawn in someone else's twisted Monopoly game is too grim. They'd get left behind the herd if they so much as took a second to pause, and be forced to fend for themselves. And why forge your own path if there's already one made for you, even if it leads straight to the slaughter? To those of us daring enough to roam in the wilderness, the price is high ... higher than any of us could ever have imagined. Some can't handle it and go crazy ... well, shit, we're all crazy ... but there's no turning back now. It's a chance to start over again, which is just what those of us wiped out by the myth of The American Dream need. The American Dream was just some rapist's wet nightmare, and as children we were swaddled in the semed-encrusted bedsheets of its wake. So who are we? Are we the rapists? The victims? The love children? We who have run off on our own into the jungle know the answer.
