Theater Review: A Singing, Summery Love's Labour's Lost
On musicalizing an odd Shakespearean comedy.

Skip to content, or skip to search.
On musicalizing an odd Shakespearean comedy.
There's nothing here but pleasure and pleasantry, making it a fine but minor dish.
All the world's a stage. Particularly if your world includes Shakespeare in the Park.
Shakespearean weddings, in and out of town.
Al Pacino will play Shylock in Shakespeare in the Park's 2010 production of 'The Merchant of Venice.'
"The other day in rehearsals I slammed this stick I carry around on the ground and it hit me in the head. If you're playing a god, you just can't let that happen."
"I did this movie where I felt I was pretty bad in it, and a friend of mine just watched it two weeks ago and TOLD me I was bad in it."
Next year they should give this little guy an audition.
Plus: Megan Fox, heroin smuggler.
One of the great thrills of live outdoor theater is knowing you could be attacked by a raccoon at any minute.

Thanks for the translation homura!
Thanks for the translation homura!
Hmm, looks like Mishin wasn't entirely happy with Miyamoto's choreo and dumped his program altogether.
Thanks, kittyjake.First we did with the Japanese choreographer Kenji Miyamoto to music Nino Rota "Romeo and Juliet." It was a good program, but it lacked what I call, a triumphant finale
Thank you for your translation.
Ok, now I'm officially worried!Daisuke Takahashi unveiled his practice in Russia. He is being coached by Nikolai Morozov of Russia. Daisuke's aim for Sochi Olympics is to upgrade his performance level. His first competition of this season will be held in October. Morozov advised him to express feelings more abundantly while skating his free program to Opera music.
Support Daisuke, join Daisuke Takahshi Road to Sochi
who wouldn't go mad, listening to Tosca and Marton?
and I have to repeat what I've already said/written about Morozov's choices: time to get some new music! he gave I Pagliacci to Voronov last season, now it's Dai. thank God Dai can skate to anything and still be just brilliant... and at least Dai doesn't skate to POTC or RFAD .
Mishin said: First we did with the Japanese choreographer Kenji Miyamoto to music Nino Rota "Romeo and Juliet." It was a good program, but it lacked what I call, a triumphant finale
Translation: It was too complex and we can't have anything get in the way of JUMPS JUMPS JUMPS.
When you are up to your arse in alligators it is difficult to remember you were only meant to be draining the swamp.
Out of Juniors, I like the SD of Stepanova/Bukin most, in Seniors, IMHO Pushkash/Guerreiro have the best one so far.
"I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine."
Bruce Lee
That's a very clever strategy IMO because would Plushenko with an empty but clean program lose to skaters with complex choreography but who have falls, I would expect most people to be behind Mishin saying that Plushenko was robbed as transitions are far less noticeable to the eye than falls. And would Plushenko however win under such circumstances, it would only be a most fair result to them. Either way, Plushy would be the rightful winner.
Also, Plushenko's multiple injuries and the fact that he's not training as much as your average skater does mean his stamina is lacking.
So you want to make the program as easy on him as possible.
Well, Mishin has his own ways of thinking of and perceiving a great figure skating, and I think it has worked rather well for Plushy

Are the longer, skinner pods with the deeper channels or canals criollo? Are you operations in the Philippines? I would like to see what the beans look like when cut.I put some photos up of some Dominican beans this summer. Most are dark purple and others lean toward a lighter purple. A few white beans exist and even within a pod of white beans, not all the beans will be white.

Hello ladies-
So I got a phone call at 9:57 this morning saying my old OB could take me at 11am for a ECV. It took a lot of prep, monitoring, blood draws, IVs, etc before it actually got underway at 2pm. I was given Visteril to help combat the effects and jitteryness of the Terbutaline they then gave me. It was uncomfortable, but not painful. I focused and breathed through it and DH and my midwife kept me focused. It was easy to get baby from butt down to transverse, but then a bit of work to get it then headdown. There is a minor complication, the baby's feet is now above the head. Wiggling toes against the cervix. We are hopeful it will pull its feet out of the way and the doc is hopeful also as there is not much known about this incidence and what to do. He said you can pinch the hands when those come out first and the baby will retract, but not sure about feet.
There is the possibility the baby can flip back to breech, but low percent of that occurring. I have a belly binder on to keep it in place and will take note of different movements. Now just lots of resting and laying around. I think I can manage that.

Ferlin Husky and Billy Sherrill, two men who brought change and innovation to Nashville-based music, entered the Country Music Hall of Fame during a Sunday evening Medallion Ceremony in the Hall of Fame and Museumâs Curb Conservatory.
The taciturn, dryly humorous Sherrill and the outgoing, riotous Husky have disparate personalities and loosely connected legacies, but each is known for his genre-shaping role in country musicâs evolution.
Husky, 84, is a groundbreaking artist whose smash hit âGoneâ was at the forefront of the elegant âNashville Sound.â Sherrill, 73, was a songwriter, executive and producer who built on that sound, helmed landmark recordings including the 1980 George Jones hit âHe Stopped Loving Her Todayâ and had a hand in penning dozens of high-charting country songs.
âIâm just happy to see this happening, finally,â said Jones, sitting next to Sherrill. âHe was Mr. Nashville, as far as Iâm concerned.â
âThatâs the only good thing Iâve ever heard him say about me,â Sherrill grumbled, flashing a quick half-smile at his old friend.

SuperludistOO: An object-oriented wrapper for Xiaoye Li's Superludist.
SuperludistOO will solve a linear systems of equations: , using Epetra objects and the Superludist solver library, where is an Epetra_RowMatrix and and are Epetra_MultiVector objects.
SuperLUdist execution can be tuned through a variety of parameters. SuperludistOO.h allows control of these parameters through the following named parameters, ignoring parameters with names that it does not recognize. Where possible, the parameters are common to all direct solvers (although some may ignore them). However, some parameters, in particular tuning parameters, are unique to each solver.
SuperludistOO consists of five steps. The first three listed below are referred to as the pre-factorization transformations. 1) Equilibration - to reduce the condition number of the problem 2) Row Permutation - to make the diagonal values larger 3) Col permutation - to help maintain sparsity 4) Factorization - Compute the L and U factors 5) Solve - Perform the forward and back solves
In other solvers, the steps are: symbolic factorization (Step 3 above), numeric factorization (Step 4 above) and Solve (Step 5 above). Step 2, row permutation can be considered static pivoting and equilibration is akin to left and right scaling.
The following parameters are generic, i.e. potentially applicable to all direct solvers. The ints are passed as options. The doubles are passed as parameters.
"EquilibrationType" - int - enum DsolEquilibrationOption{ DSOL_DO_NOT_EQUILIBRATE, DSOL_ROW_EQUILIBRATION, DSOL_COL_EQUILIBRATION, DSOL_ROW_COL_EQUILIBRATION }
"EquilibrationReuse" - int - enum DsolEquilibrationReuseOption{ DSOL_EQUILIBRATE_NEW_MATRICES, DSOL_USE_STORED_EQUILIBRATION } If DSOL_USE_STORED_EQUILIBRATION is set, new equilibration arrays are only computed if none have been stored. There are two ways that equilibration constants can be stored. 1) Each time that the matrices are equilibrated, the equilibrations are stored. 2) The user can store equilibration constants by calling SetLeftEquilibration() and SetRightEquilibration().
"ColumnPermutationType" - int - enum DsolColumnPermutationTypeOption{ DSOL_NO_COLUMN_PERMUTATION, DSOL_MMD_AT_times_A, DSOL_MMD_AT_plus_A, DSOL_COLAMD }
"ColumnPermutationReuse" - int - enum DsolColumnPermutationReuseOption{ DSOL_COL_PERM_NEW_MATRICES, DSOL_USE_STORED_COL_PERM } If DSOL_USE_STORED_COL_PERM is set, a new column permutation is only computed if none has been stored. There are two ways that a column permutation can be stored. 1) Each time that a column permutation is computed it is stored. 2) The user can store a column permutation by calling SetColumnPermutation().
"RowPermutationType" - int - enum DsolRowPermutationTypeOption{ DSOL_NO_ROW_PERMUTATION, DSOL_DUFF_KOSTER }
"RowPermutationReuse" - int - enum DsolRowPermutationReuseOption{ DSOL_ROW_PERM_NEW_MATRICES, DSOL_USE_STORED_ROW_PERM } If DSOL_USE_STORED_ROW_PERM is set, a new row permutation is only computed if none has been stored. There are two ways that a row permutation can be stored. 1) Each time that a row permutation is computed it is stored. 2) The user can store a row permutation by calling SetRowPermutation().
"FactorType" - int - enum DsolFactorTypeOption{ DSOL_DO_FACTOR, DSOL_DO_NOT_FACTOR } "FactorType" is not fully supported in release 0.1
"FactorTypeReuse" - int - enum DsolFactorTypeOption{ DSOL_REUSE_FACTOR, DSOL_DO_NOT_REUSE_FACTOR } "FactorTypeReuse" is not fully supported in release 0.1
"BLAS block size" - int - BLAS block size
SuperludistOO::SuperludistOO | ( | const Epetra_LinearProblem & | LinearProblem | ) |
SuperludistOO Constructor.
Creates a SuperludistOO instance, using an Epetra_LinearProblem, passing in an already-defined Epetra_LinearProblem object. The Epetra_LinearProblem class is the preferred method for passing in the linear problem to SuperludistOO because this class provides scaling capabilities and self-consistency checks that are not available when using other constructors.
Note: The operator in LinearProblem must be an Epetra_RowMatrix.
SuperludistOO::~SuperludistOO | ( | void | ) | [virtual] |
SuperludistOO Destructor.
Completely deletes a SuperludistOO object.
int SuperludistOO::CheckInput | ( | ) | const |
Prints a summary of solver parameters, performs simple sanity checks.
Not supported in release 0.1;

for the Mammut Bionic HMS Carabiner
Average Custy Rating:
(based on 16 reviews)
This is going to make a great addition to my box I cant say that I have ever been unhappy with a product that I have bought from moosejaw they just carry the best of the best and don't settle for nothing less!!!!!
This is my go to when I belay, need a biener to daisy on to, or just want to hang my water bottle on something. The spring and arm work very well and does not show any signs of sticking a few months after heavy use. Lightweight, strong, and looks legit.
I climb with this beaner at least 3 days a week and it has held up to all my expectations. The screwgate is fluid, sits well on the harness, and feels lighter than my other beaners. Love this thing. I want more.
Though I use BD products usually I must say that the Mammut has much smoother action in the screwgate that the BD. It's sturdy as all carabiners should be and has smooth opening action as well. Don't really know what else to say about a carabiner. It's solid.
I bought this to use with my Grigri 2 (because the blue screw gate matched the blue grigri perfectly! (although it doesn't really look like it in the picture)) I am very happy with it and would buy it again. The only down side is that the grigri doesn't really fit around the small side of it so I have to make sure it doesn't try to twist around or it gets a bit stuck. Other than that I love it.Andy
I used this as a belay biner for a while and was amazed how fast it started wearing ridges. The edges wear down really quickly when used for belaying. Wouldn't use this for anything that is going to have a lot of rope moving through it for very long. Converted it to a general purpose HMS and couldn't be happier.
Love everything about it. Use it to hang bear bags, hang hammocks, climbing and used it once to drag a car out of a ditch. Love it and has never failed me. Occasionally however it is difficult to unscrew it but if you work it a little it will release.
I've seen and used several different types of HMS biners, and this is definitely my favorite. The color is a little darker and less shiny than the picture, minor detail. I got the twistlock version and it feels great, it feels very solid but still very light. If anything, the only issue with it would be that be basket is kinda narrow, which may have trouble accommodating some wider belay loops or slings, but works just fine with the BD Momentum harness. It is easily opened with one hand and snaps back closed strongly and firmly, leaving no doubt it is solidly closed.
This is one of my favourite biner! It is very cool looking with Mammut's unique I-beam construction of the body. Very light weight and the twist lock is smooth working. Doesn't take too much of extra strength nor hassle to twist open the biner unlike some other auto locking biners. Big D fits most devices too! Yet another awesome product from Mammut! The other version the mythos was too small for some devices btw.
Awesome screw lock that screws like Ron Jeremy himself. This thing is smooth and quite, yet feels solid as a rock. The gate has some good tension on it and is all around a classy looking device. It is 58 grams, but the only problem i can foresee (i don't have this issue due to the size of my gear loop "arcteryx a300a") is that the gear loop side is a bit small. Which could cause problems, when belaying a lighter person where there isn't as much tension on the device. This typically leads to the biner laying on its side and obviously in a much less safe situation. For a little more in depth review, check out the review on YT. /watch?v=IWR2C0V3vGw

The New Mexico Lobos largely avoided signging junior college players for their 2013 recruiting class,. But head coach Bob Davie did return to the Lobos' old recruiting hot spot, taking recruits primarily from the state of Texas.
Host New Mexico lost to Fresno State 49-32 Saturday afternoon in Mountain West Conference play. UNM's Lobo TV was there for post game reactions from UNM head coach Bob Davie, players Kasey Carrier and also put together a compilation video of plays.
The resurgent New Mexico Lobos visit the islands for a homecoming game showdown with the Hawai'i Warriors with UNM seeking to continue its winning momentum and UH looking for a way to turn around a disappointing season.
The Texas Longhorns were too fast and too strong and the New Mexico Lobos were too mistake-prone Saturday night in their 45-0 defeat of the New Mexico Lobos before 100,990 at Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin.
The New Mexico Lobos scored 38 points in the second quarter and forced five turnovers overall to definitively defeat visiting Southern University 66-21 Saturday afternoon at Branch Field at University Stadium in the season opener for both teams.
Things are going exactly according to plan for the Wildcats and Snyder's crew rolls into Austin with a 8-2 record ranked #13 in the AP Poll. Is it really overachieving if he does it every goddamn...
Z.W. Martin is not a graduate of the University of Notre Dame. He explains why he is an Irish football fan and asks the haters to take a look in the mirror. Seriously, can't we all just get along?
TSM Hate Index: Volume XIX - after a short break, it's back with a new Hall member; vote and nominate today
Could life as a Bruin fan get any worse? This is what happens when you procrastinate, Dan!!!
Today, ESPN analyst Bob Davie will be officially announced as the next coach of the New Mexico Lobos. Davie has been out of coaching for a decade after getting fired from Notre Dame in 2001.

2009 Château Brane- Cantenac:
Deep ruby. Intense and scented nose, floral, some mint. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, elegant fruit. Needs time to open and show, so decant it for a few hours. Layered and complex, superb length. Somewhat sweet fruity feel. 92
2010 Château Brane- Cantenac;
Deep ruby, Fresh nose, fruity and floral, cassis, and up front now. Fresh acidity, and a lively feel, ripe tannin. The somewhat lean and rustic body and texture I found during primeur that was honed away in June last year, have now become layered, good length. 93+
2011 Château Brane- Cantenac:
(Barrel sample sent to me from the château) Deep ruby. Cassis, floral, somewhat scented, vanilla, quite layered and almost Pessac's smoky minerals. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, elegant texture and long finish. 91
2003 Château d'Yquem;
Bright golden, vanilla, apricots, botrytis, pineapples. Good acidity, even if it could be much better to make the fruit sing as it should, very intense, complex, has what it needs except freshness of acidity, very long length. 90
2003 Château Rieussec;
Bright golden, pure apricots, marmalade and pineapples, slightly cloying, lacks acidity, does not clean enough, so very sweet and slightly bitter, ok length. Lacks freshness, even if the fruit is great. 83
2001 Château Lafite Rothschild;
Ruby, leather, blackcurrants, cigars, complex and very seductive. Extremelly elegant Pauillac, herbs, spices and some vanilla, fresh acidity, ripe tannins, pure and so elegant and balanced, fantastic texture, gorgeous finish and extreme length. Dear God! 95
2004 Château Latour;
Ruby, seductive cassis, cigars, leather, tobacco, gorgeous complex nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, great balance and fantastic texture, more power than expected, but power with finesse and complexity, not overkill and simple. Gorgeous length. One of my best Latour's, and it opened up a lot with air. 95
2001 Château Mouton Rothschild;
Ruby, some vanilla and tobacco, layered, cedar and blackcurrants. Fantastic acidity, ripe tannins, fresh and superb purity and very mouthwatering. Huge change since my last bottle that was more tightknit, starting to open up more nicely, showing more typical Mouton style with layers and seductive notes. 94
2004 Château Mouton Rothschild;
Ruby, cassis, leather, bell peppers, vanilla, tobacco, very complex. Fresh acidity, good balance, nice texture, textbook Mouton, always open and layered it seems. Ripe tannins, velvety and intens, still it feels secretive, it has even more for the future with a very elegant thread of freshness throughout it and beautifull length. 93
2004 Château Margaux;
Ruby, floral and intens of jasmin and violets, pure blackcurrants, some tobacco and extremely layered. Gorgeous texture, fantastic acidity, pure, elegant, superb mouthfeel, textbook elegance. And fantastic length. Pure joy to drink, wow! 94
2004 Château Haut-Brion;
Bright ruby, some tarracotta minerals, elegant blackcurrants, to complex to be easily defined and even tender feel to it. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, balanced, pure and long, very closed now, not quite giving away it's secrets. Fresh, youthfull and great length. 93

It's not easy being a spike-trap. By design, players are supposed to get by you without TOO much trouble. But you just can't do that. After years of seeing the same guy running by, over and over, day after day -- you realize you're in love. Unfortunately, the only means by which you can express this love is by showing him how good you are at crushing him into a tasty broth. Someday, you're sure, he'll get the hint.
This game was made with the wonderful Flashpunk, which made the nightmare of making this a lot less nightmarish, and more of a restless bad dream.
PROTIPS: Be patient. Wait for the right moment to strike! It takes a second or two to reset yourself, and in that time he can escape! Unless there's a powerup he'll never just run straight through.
Wow what a charming game,i have never felt so sorry for a spike trap before,now when i play Mario and Sonic games i'll be happy to kill the protagonists XD
Love the game!
this isa awesome game mah record is ettting fire at 7 more ppl

Freshman quarterback Tyhree Pratt fired three touchdown passes - two to his older brother Cliff - and ran for another score to spark the unbeaten Cougars to a 49-7 victory over Princeton before about 2,000 fans at Laidley Field.
"It felt good, my first home game as a high school player,'' Tyhree Pratt said. "I love playing with my brother, too. It's lovely.''
Capital (3-0) came into the game tied for sixth in the SSAC Class AAA playoff ratings.
It was a belated home opener for the Cougars, who started with two road games, had their bye week, and now have two more away games before returning to Laidley on Oct. 5 against Riverside.
But it was worth the wait for Capital fans, who saw their team score in a variety of ways, including a safety and a 38-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Rashad Cunningham - all in the first 71 seconds of the game.
Tyhree Pratt threw TD passes of 37 and 24 yards to Cliff Pratt and 24 yards to Tyrell Davis. Kashaun Haley, who ran for a team-high 123 yards on just nine carries, added a 22-yard TD burst and backup Jonathan Pittman scored on a 30-yard run.
Cunningham's early runback was the seventh kick return for a touchdown by the Cougars this season.
"Again, we can run,'' said Capital coach Jon Carpenter, "but I'm not sure how much we executed rather than making the big play.''
About the only downside for the Cougars was a whopping total of 16 penalties for 106 yards.
"A lot of those were late in the game,'' Carpenter said, "and a lot of those were aggressive penalties. As long as they're not intentional . . . we got a lot of hits and things like that, and we can live with them. Hey, Bobby Bowden has the most-penalized team in the ACC a lot of times [with Florida State]. It shows that you're aggressive.''

I beleive you will find the same lack of parks in and near any big city. We stay in the area every year to visit relitives. Kane County Forest perserves has a very nice park near Elgin.
http://www.co.kane.il.us/forest/fp/burnidge_paulwolff.htm It should be about 15 miles. Lehmans Lakeside would be another choice, less than 20 miles. http://www.lehmansrv.com/ Hope this helps. |

Facebook's success hasn't only netted its founders, early employees and investors billions of dollars, the world's largest social network has built an ecosystem that has served as the foundation for other businesses collectively worth billions.
From large social gaming companies like Zynga all the way to individual developers building Facebook apps out of their bedrooms, Facebook's launch of a development platform in 2006 proved to be a game-changer for online entrepreneurs.

Of the few markets in which Flash is still relevant, gaming is perhaps the largest. Despite the fact that Adobe seems intent on killing Flash, for many game developers, Flash is still a necessity.
The big question, of course, is for how long? There's a lot of excitement about HTML5, and some game developers have actually been experimenting with HTML5 game development.

Rumors of social gaming's death may not be exaggerated.
There's been increasing discussion about the possibility social gaming has finally jumped the shark this year, and Zynga's big drop in daily active users sent investors in the social gaming giant rushing for the exits earlier this week.

After a rocky start, Facebook's life as a publicly-traded company has settled down a bit. Despite healthy skepticism about its prospects in light of a $100bn valuation, its stock price has stabilised (for now) while industry observers and investors are taking stock of its actual -- not hypothetical -- business.
But one of Facebook's best friends, social gaming giant Zynga, hasn't been so fortunate. Today, its stock plunged to under $5, its lowest level since the company went public last year.

We're just weeks away from the Facebook IPO, and today, the company filed an amended S-1 detailing the price it will seek for its shares.
According to that S-1, Facebook plans to sell some 337m shares at a price between $28 and $35. In this price range, the company will be valued at somewhere between roughly $75bn to $95bn.

Social gaming on Facebook may be past its prime, but don't tell social gaming juggernaut Zynga that casual gaming is.
The company, which went public late last year, yesterday reported $321m in revenue in the first quarter of 2012 -- its highest quarterly revenue figure ever. All told, bookings rose to $329m, up 15% year-over-year, while the $321m in revenue represented a more impressive 32% year-over-year increase.

One of the biggest drivers of Facebook's success has arguably been the rise of social gaming.
From Mafia Wars to Farmville, Facebook's platform has become a virtual gaming console of sorts for millions upon millions of consumers, creating a multi-billion dollar virtual currency opportunity for Facebook that it's exploiting with Facebook Credits.

An obsession with social gaming peaked in 2010, remained steady during 2011 and is only now starting to even out.
But just because the buzz has quietened, it doesn't mean the growth rate is slowing.
by Vikki Morgan 18 January 2012 14:37pm 0 comments
Every year, digital marketers are delivered a fresh collection of new buzzwords, and one of the hottest in recent memory is 'gamification.'
Gamification, defined simply, is the addition of 'game mechanics' to a service. The rationale behind gamification is equally simple: by adding gaming components to a service, its operator can make the service as addictive as, say, Farmville.

Dusit Thani Dubai
Dusit International in the UAE Commemorated the King's Birth |
Time zone and miles apart, Thais in Dubai were given venue to be one with their nation back home
Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Staff of Dusit International chains based in Dubai enjoined the rest of the Thai people around the world to commemorate the 83rd birthday of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej on 5 December 2010. Dusit Princess City Centre, Pearl Coast Premier Hotel Apartments, and Dusit Thani Dubai gathered at the latter's PAX restaurant where they paid tribute to the longest-reigning monarch who acceded to the throne in 1946.
The venue served as an apt setting for a festive yet sacred assembly. The beloved king's portrait adorned with flowers became the poignant centerpiece. While candle-lighting rites, fervent singing of the national anthem and cheers of "Long live the king!" showed the sincere devotion of his constituents no matter where they are in the globe. Cultural Thai performances by Dusit Thani Dubai artists accompanied the merry-making.
Making the event even more momentous was the simultaneous and reverent observance of the live ceremony that was telecasted live from Thailand.
Being a unifying force to a nation especially in times of turmoil, it is indeed no surprise that unanimity among Thais in this occasion transcends distance apart from their motherland. And this has always been taken into account by Dusit Thani Dubai, hence the invitation among Dusit International colleagues. On the same day, Dusit Thani Dubai staff on duty wore yellow shirts as it is the colour of Monday—the day when the king was born. The Hotel adhered to the Thai tradition to honour this generation's icon that many have come to love and respect. Photo shown: Sea of yellow flooded Dusit Thani Dubai's PAX restaurant to

Lead In
The Supreme Court ruled last year that corporations are persons, for the purpose of the First Amendment, which have a free speech constitutional right to tap corporate treasuries and spend unlimited corporate funds on politics. A constitutional amendment has been introduced in the House to overturn the decision.
The Amendment raises several important policy questions: (a) whether corporations will voluntarily limit their political spending in the 2012 Elections until the fate of the Amendment is resolved by Congress; and, (b) whether the candidates for President will voluntarily impose contribution limits on corporate contributions to their campaigns?
The political question is whether introduction of the Amendment is, as stated in the article, "one of the greatest signs yet that the 99 Percenters are having an impact" on national policy.
Media Quote
* * *Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, today introduced an amendment that would ban corporate money in politics and end corporate personhood once and for all.
Deutch's amendment, called the Outlawing Corporate Cash Undermining the Public Interest in our Elections and Democracy (OCCUPIED) Amendment, would overturn the Citizens United decision, re-establishing the right of Congress and the states to regulate campaign finance laws, and to effectively outlaw the ability of for-profit corporations to contribute to campaign spending.
Source: Read THINK PROGRESS
The decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission is unprecedented in American jurisprudence and national politics.It could unleash unlimited corporate expenditures of treasury funds into the political process without any comments by shareholders. That could result in billions of dollars of heretofore untapped and unavailable corporate cash pouring into elections.
One view is that the full impact of the decision, authorizing an unprecedented and historic expansion of corporate political advocacy directed at policy decisions, and to the election or defeat of candidates for political office, could be devastating.
Another view, as articulated by Dr. Stephen R. Weissman, a former associate director for policy at the Campaign Finance Institute, is that the "decision is unlikely to change the political situation on the ground very much." Read Los Angeles Times, Opinion (January 28, 2010).
MJB's Take
The decision in Citizens United could usher into the mix new era campaign technologies, communications strategies and fierce rapid responses by savvy politicians to hits from corporate sponsored political ads on a range of policy issues some of which may not directly concern the business operations of corporations.
Corporations will raise their profiles, advocate and engage in politics by hitting politicians for their positions on policy issues. Politicians in turn will intuitively respond and hit back.
Increased corporate spending for political advertising will generate significant mainstream political media coverage of the controversies. The coverage in one sense may heighten the public's interest; but, in another sense, the coverage will diminish the quality of the information disseminated to the public by the media which generally should empower them to take part more effectively in the political process by acting on what, but for the portal to portal coverage of controversies, otherwise would be unbiased and quality information.
Of course, the clear rebuttal to that argument is that heightened public interest is a good thing because it expands the base of stakeholders in the game on the political playing field. Hence, the political take from the Occupy Wall Street movement which is apparently grafted into the title of the proposed Amendement.
In addition, it can be argued that the more intense the controversies, the policy debates, the attacks on politicians and the media coverage, the better for the political process in general. Savvy politicians and candidates for political office can take advantage of the new-found field of political play, expensed for the most part by corporate political money, and prosper.
The clearest example to illustrate the point is the low-budget but effective campaign by Herman Cain. Cain was able to use low-budget campaign tools, campaign strategies and the Internet to fight back against a barrage of mainstream media coverage, which for the most part was negative; take part in the debates on policy issues; and, position himself as a contender to be taken seriously for the GOP nomination.
Certainly, there will be legitimate concerns expressed about the possible corrosive influence of corporate political money on policy making and the outcomes of elections. But, good politicians should be ready to hit back if they are attacked just as Herman Cain has been able to do by employing new media tools and strategies.

- A family reunion is the perfect event to center around a fun party theme. Simply choose your theme and then select decorations, party invitations, and party tableware that support it.
- Choose family reunion games that reflect your theme. For example, a western party theme would be the perfect setting for a horse pinata and a pin the tail on the horse game. Hand out family reunion favors like red paisley bandannas that guests can wear while square dancing.
- No reunion is complete without basic family reunion party supplies like banners and balloons to let everyone know they're at the right location. Impress everyone more with a radiant balloon arch entrance.
- Looking for great activities for the kids to do in between family reunion games? Set up a table filled with party crafts that they can take home as part of their special family reunion favors.
- If you are hosting your family reunion in a park or right in your own backyard, you may want to enhance the atmosphere by adding a few lamp posts decorated with family reunion party supplies decorating fabrics.
- Make large interior spaces feel more intimate and festive by draping and swagging our various colors of gossamer fabric across ceilings, walls, and the edges of table skirting.
- Shindigz family reunion party supplies also meet your table setting and table decoration needs. You'll be sure to have enough eating plates, cups, and utensils of the perfect color on hand when you purchase any of our big value packs. Announce the menu to everyone lining up for the meal with the chef standee menu board. Additional standees that can be used for photo-ops are also found in our family reunion party supplies.
- Set personalized napkins with metallic foil imprint at each table setting.
- Create a family time capsule in our treasure chest craft kit and fill it with one of each of the family reunion favors including one of the personalized notepad favors in which each person in attendance signs her name and writes a short message. In addition to the official family reunion favors, include pictures and old family videos and a short bio of each family member.
