Is Every Self-Defense Claim a 'Stand Your Ground' Case Now?
I have noted several times that the focus on the right to "stand your ground" in the Trayvon Martin case is puzzling, since it does not seem to play any role in George Zimmerman's defense. Although Zimmerman did shoot Martin in a public place, if the fight unfolded as he claims he did not have an opportunity to retreat. Here is another case that supposedly involves the right to stand your ground but does not really: Shanterrica Madden is on trial in Tennessee for stabbing her roommate, Middle Tennessee State University basketball player Tina Stewart, to death last year in the apartment they shared, which she claims she did in self-defense. Under the USA Today headline "''Stand Your Ground' Law to Surface in Tenn. College Slaying," here is how the Murfreesboro Daily News Journal describes the context of the case:
Madden's claim of self-defense comes at a time of intense national debate over what are known as "stand your ground" self-defense laws, resulting from the fallout of the shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman.
What those "stand your ground" laws do is extend the right for a person to protect himself or herself from the threat of imminent death or bodily harm to any place, public or private, where that person has the right to be, says MTSU criminal justice professor Lance Selva, an attorney.
"These laws are an extension of what is known as the castle doctrine, which gives one the right to defend oneself in the home without retreating," he said. "What these laws do is remove the duty to retreat even outside of the home."
What does that have to do with this case, where the fight occurred in a residence shared by the defendant and her alleged victim? The paper never says. Like Florida's statute, Tennessee's self-defense law, which was amended in 2007, does have a provision strengthening the castle doctrine that applies in the home, but it does not seem relevant to Madden's stabbing of Stewart. It says a person "is presumed to have held a reasonable belief of imminent death or serious bodily injury" when using deadly force against an intruder who "unlawfully and forcibly enters" his "residence, business, dwelling or vehicle." Since Stewart had a right to be in the apartment as a resident, it is hard to see how this provision could help Madden. In fact, the presumption explicitly does not apply to "a lawful resident," unless an order of protection has been issued against him. As The Daily News Journal implicitly concedes, that leaves questions of the sort that would have to be addressed in any case where someone claims his use of deadly force was justified by self-defense:
The first issue is whether the person claiming self-defense had a "reasonable belief" that he or she was threatened....
The next issue is whether the person claiming self-defense did anything to place himself or herself in a situation that would have necessitated the use of deadly force....
Another issue in the cases is whether the kind of force used by the person claiming self-defense was appropriately applied. Was the use of force justified or excessive?...
In the Madden case, [Selva] said, "the jury will have to decide at some point if it believes it was necessary for Shanterrica Madden to use the knife to defend herself."
It is true that Florida has a "stand your ground" law, and it is true that George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin in Florida. But that does not necessarily mean the shooting or the outcome of the criminal case against Zimmerman can be explained by new or unusual aspects of Florida's law. Likewise, not every self-defense case in Tennessee hinges on recent changes to its law. Unless The Daily News Journal omitted some crucial facts, the prosecution of Shanterrica Madden pretty plainly does not.

What does that have to do with this case, where the fight occurred in a residence shared by the defendant and her alleged victim?
Nothing. It's simply a talking point attempting to guide the narrative.
Yup. Gotta forward the TEAM narrative, right? I mean, really, what matters more than that?
Yes, I was referring to the Will Smith song.
Is Every Self-Defense Claim a 'Stand Your Ground' Case Now?
Yes, of course it is. Every properly re-educated individual knows that any act of self-defense is inherently wrong. You should sacrifice yourself to the greater good and leave clues for the police as your dying act. Any reinforcement of that right is an automatic abomination.
Don't forget that both the victim and the suspect are black, so race was obviously a factor here.
One of the two was either acting white or not authentically black. Same thing, I think.
There is no excuse for killing a NCAA Women's College Basketball player.
Now that you mention it, both victim and suspect in the Trayvon Martin case are black (Zimmerman's apparently 1/4 black) but one is more black than the other. Liberals have perfected the art of racism to the point that one's degree of blackness is deemed relevant to guilt or innocence.
We call those "lie back and enjoy it" laws.
Always remember, to the modern liberal, once a criminal act is undertaken, the criminal has a right to proceed with his act, unmolested, until licensed, badged law enforcement arrives
best stick to attemped humor. ur ub-rahl memes need moar work before going public.
Thanks for your input, Mary. By the way, you are the last person who should be lecturing Paul on humor.
how true. mary shoulda said "alleged humor"
I work very hard making allegedly funny jokes. Like you work hard writing allegedly comprehensible english.
""What these laws do is remove the duty to retreat even outside of the home."
I didn't know you had a duty to run like a little bitch when someone's attacking you. Plus, I'm not sure that's even feasible. -
The duty to retreat only applies when a safe avenue of retreat is available. In Zimmerman's case, Martin was (allegedly) on top of him so he had no available means of escape.
And to quote Captain Picard, there's no dishonor in a strategic retreat.
You would quote Picard. How embarrassing.
I'm more surprised that he didn't go Janeway on us.
I'm sure he wanted to. Maybe go a little Archer too. That's Professor Pomeranian's style.
If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for what we are.
In Zimmerman's case, Martin was (allegedly) on top of him so he had no available means of escape.
I think it could be argued that Zimmerman crawled underneath him.
Which would require, you know, turning your back to someone attacking you, which is the dumbest fucking thing you could do. Again, not feasible.
You can retreat without turning your back... and if they come after you then you can argue you made an attempt to retreat and give the attacker everything you've got.
Obviously if they have a gun, longbow, lawn dart, or other long-range weapon it's not feasible to retreat at all.
If you're already under attack, no. Turning your back or walking backwards are not good options for 'retreating'. You don't need bullets to attack someone from behind. One good sucker punch to the back of the head and you're screwed. I'm thoroughly convinced whoever conceived these laws was force fed that "deescalate the situation" and "report it to the authorities" bullshit.
Almuni of Home Alive.
And to quote Captain Picard--
Virginity at your age probably isn't something you should brag about.
Says the guy with the Big Lebowski in-joke in his handle.
I mean, you may as well call yourself Frito Pendejo.
In states that don't have stand-your-ground laws, you typically cannot use deadly force to defend yourself if you're not in your home and have a reasonable opporunity to safely retreat. Of course, if it's not feasible to safely retreat, then you have no duty to retreat.
gang members are now claiming SYG after gang shootouts
Gang members aren't allowed to defend themselves if attacked?
prob is who's "standing" & who's "attacking".
Which is the same question asked in every syg case anyways. How is this relevant?
gang shootouts how do it work?
Fucking guilt by association how do it work?
The entire concept of "a duty to retreat" is fatally flawed. Most commonly, it's probably impossible to determine if retreating is safer than "standing your ground" when attacked. As somebody else phrased it, "running like a little bitch" may not be prudent. This is another case of the state overstepping its authority and weakening somebody's basic right of self defense. The "stand your ground" laws would not be necessary in a fair and sensible legal system.
Listen, as a matter of principle I would say that as soon as you attack someone in a way that is likely to cause severe injury, you forfeit your life. I would support deadly force against ANY attacker, whether one's life was in danger or not.
However, as a practical matter, you have to deal with the possibility that people will commit murder unprovoked and then falsely claim self-defense, AND the possibility that the self-defender would misjudge the severity of an attack. So you try to minimize the scope of self-defense to the bare minimum: only when there is NO other option but allowing oneself to be killed.
Well, if you are in public and there is any chance that bystanders would get hurt by your use of deadly force, I think you have a moral obligation to retreat if using a gun woudl possibly endanger innocent people. But I agree that in most situations where you genuinely need to defend your life or bodily integrity, it doesn't seem likely that retreating would be a possibility.
The one chick from FL was in her own home. Castle Doctrine was already in effect at the time. SYG has nothing to do with lethal use of self-defense in your residence.
I'm not sure if this is just simply sloppy thinking or intentional deception on the part of the press. I mean, these are the people who call an aggressive beagle a pit bull and a Ruger 10/22 with extended magazine an "assault rifle".
My guess is it's 60-75% laziness. Reporter wants hook for self-defense story --> everyone's talking about Zimmerman and SYG --> GO FOR IT!
This... During the Monday Morning Meeting, the editor was demanding more trend stories. You gotta fill column-inches with the zeitgeist.
"Tulpa the White"? Does being Grand Wizard of the Imperial Klans of America strike you as an appropriate gig for a monocle-wearing Reasonoid?
I must be all things to all people that I might save some.
Oh, I thought it was your reincarnation after defeating the balrog.
Progressivist degeneracy knows no bounds. Literally. It's fucking endless.
Girl kills girls, circumstances of crime entirely unrelated to our fucktarded pet issues. Appropriate response = cry bloody murder over guns and the insurrectionists and how "hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr they're killing our children and feeding them to the hounds".
You know what, you statist fucks? Eat shit and die. Every fucking conversation, every speech, every single exertion of effort is an attempt to justify your position and salary by appealing to likeminded retards and totalitarian miscreants in your ceaseless quest for power. Burn in hell.
I'm still trying to find the lesbian violence angle. Anyone?
Women don't commit domestic violence. Only men, being part of the patriarchy, are capable of such horrific acts.
The dead one's male friend once called Shanterrica a whore, or something, so this is a clearly justified response to the abominable misogynism of our time.
Lesbian pornographic snuff videos, eh? What other sick things fill your day, child?
Well, Hit & Run, obviously.
"Reason: The category "Lesbian Pornographic Snuff" is filtered."
Damn you, Websense!
Hit the "ANGLE" button on your DVD remote. Usually right above the arrow keys.
Shanterrica? Does anybody else hear a mix of Panteruuuhhh and Metallica in that name?
WTF US American of African Descent of Color of Not Being White community!
I think it was selected because someone had already taken "Shatnerrica."
I kind of like it when people just make up names for their kids.
If Superman tricks her into saying her own name backwards, she has to magically return to her home dimension.
I vehemently hate it. People should name their children after awesome Irish, Norse, or applicable ancestral culture mythological figures. If their ancestral culture sucks they should not reproduce.
A black woman naming her son "Thor" would be no less ridiculous.
What about "Heimdall"...?
I refer you to sentence two in my post you replied to, wherein I state people of inferior ancestral culture should not reproduce.
If someone can refer me to something awesome or metal about non-Egyptian African cultures, I will stand corrected.
Also I would never advocate naming a child Thor. A good rule of thumb for names based on mythos is your average regular jackoff should need to google it. If a nonenthusiast can be relied on to have a reasonable chance of being familiar with the name (Thor, Jesus, Mary) etc then it is too common for a given name.
A great (I think) example is a buddy of mine's given name Oisin. You can infer from the impossibility of guessing it's correct pronunciation by reading alone that it is likely a gaelic based name, but unless you were abnormally interested in Irish epic poetry you would not know Oisin was a prominent poet figure in the Fenian cycle. OTOH, Oisin also has to explain to people constantly how to pronounce his name. For my taste that's a worthy tradeoff for a sufficiently elitist and metal name.
best watch out cause she'll shank u too
Not if he does what guys like me and Epi do -- carry. God bless 2A.
Unless The Daily News Journal omitted some crucial facts, the prosecution of Shanterrica Madden pretty plainly does not.
There were no facts in that article, besides "there was an altercations". For all you know, Tina Stewart had a Glock to Shanterrica's head.
although the whole oops I changed my story is pretty damning (but as readers of the agitator know, not necessarily conclusive)
The only "statist approved" method of self defense is to call the cops and cower in a corner and hope the cops get there before your assaillant kills you. Then hope the cops don't shoot you too, because fuck you, that's why.

Interview: Rosetta
30th September
One of the more interesting bands ploughing the post-whateverthefuck genre are Pennsylvania's Rosetta, a four piece outfit who meld riff heavy bombast with a cerebral, mantra like space groove. They have described themselves in the past as 'serious music by unserious people, which seems about right. Their new album, The Anaesthete is a phenomenal piece of work, and their first attempt at a complete DIY process. Demon Pigeon sat down with lead singer Michael Armine (not really, I emailed him. What you think we can afford to fly to Pennsylania?) to ask about the new album, ice moons and why Spotify is rubbish.

If you are a horror fan of the British persuasion, the chances are you'll know Kim Newman. Even if you don't follow him on that there Twitter, or read his Video Dungeon column for Empire Magazine, or read his ever excellent works of fiction, you're guaranteed to have seen him interviewed for the DVD extras of some classic horror film or whatever and thought to yourself 'That there is what a horror fan looks like.'
If you do only know him by his hat, tache and waistcoat combo, however, then you are missing a trick, because Mr Newman has produced the best literary horror series this country has seen in a long time in the form of the Anno Dracula novels.

Rather than find another bass player, the two of them decided to continue as a duet. Ironicially, their first formal gig as a duet was opening up for guitarist Robin Trower at the Fillmore.
"I got the call the night before the show," says Hammond. "Apparently they wanted an opening act and without thinking about it I confirmed it. I figured that Tom and I know each other so well that we could find something interesting to play." Hence the birth of a new project. V Neck's title is a tribute to Kleven's signature T shirts.
The guitar and drum duo's music relies heavily on free jazz improvisation with elements of polyrhythms and electronic textures to shape its sound. Together they have played with Ken Vandermark and Peter Brotzman, Good for Cows, Nels Cline and Jeff Tweedy, Robin Trower, Medeski, Martin and Wood, and Sonic Youth.

Natural Movement Fitness is different. We don't isolate muscles. We don't obsess over burnt calories. We train our whole bodies in an integrated, practical way. Our practice is about movement. It's about life.
Move whenever you can, move before you can't
Sitting on a workout machine is not the cure for sitting in front of a computer. What we need is MOVEMENT. Move the way your body was meant to move and see the immediate, practical results. FIND A WORKSHOP | BE A TRAINER
- Christopher McDougal, MENS HEALTH
"with that one word — "practical" — Le Corre exposes a key weakness in modern exercise: Our workouts are domesticated, while the world out there is still plenty wild. In a pinch, can a man put gym-generated biceps and tank-tread abs to any real use? Could it be that our well-oiled Cybex world has turned us into show dogs who can't hold our own in the hunt?"
Mr. Le Corre…promotes what he calls "mouvement naturel" at exercise retreats in West Virginia and elsewhere. His workouts include scooting around the underbrush on all fours, leaping between boulders, playing catch with stones, and other activities at which he believes early man excelled. These are the "primal, essential skills that I believe everyone should have," he said in an interview.
- Joseph Goldstein, NEW YORK TIMES
- Nick Heil, OUTSIDE MAGAZINE
"Le Corre's program occupies a space all its own. If anything, MovNat falls within the concept of "evolutionary fitness," an increasingly popular trend embraced by a loosely organized but fast-growing global community of health enthusiasts, medical professionals, and athletes."
"The very essence of MovNat encourages you to work out in a different way to normal so it was entirely appropriate that the day after my session I ascended to a previously unknown level of agony. Nevertheless, this purgatory couldn't change the fact that I'd finished my session with a genuine smile on my face. One could almost say I was grinning like an ape."
- Paul Torpey, THE GUARDIAN
- Vicky Hallett, WASHINGTON POST
"Under most circumstances, if I did an activity that left me with multiple bruises and such sore muscles that lifting my arms was agony, I'd guess that I'd done something very stupid. But after getting roughed up in Silver Spring earlier this month, I couldn't help but feel smart — or, at least, smarter than the average gymgoer."

I'll never understand why devs dont set more realistic releases in the first place, and if it comes out sooner then great. I've never heard anyone complain about a game coming earlier than expected. As it is delays dont bother me if it's to add extra polish
Its a shame it has gone this way with 3rd parties on wii u, i think it's a really great console but nintendo dropped the ball by making it too hard to port to for lazy devs. It would take up too much time and resources which companies just wont put into a machine with such a low install base
Should have waited till the full set of 5 were complete and do it then, its a bit of a half assed job at the moment
The trouble with 3ds now is that apart from sequels there arent many nintendo franchises they can bring to it that havent been done, metroid, fzero and a proper starfox are about it. Im actually quite intested to see what nintendo have in store for us this year, because after yoshi's new island there's nothing on the release schedule
Whats the point in releasing it all, anyone who owns another system will just get it on that, im done with major 3rd parties now they can go and (insert expletive of choice)
The adventure time game shouldnt be full price, ridiculous pricing, i will wait till it's on sale
@KeeperBvK maybe because the issue has been raised before by another developer and they specifically stated their problems with ratings boards in pal territories. Of course it is an assumption that nicalis has the same issues, but no other developer has spoken about issues with pal releases that im aware of, so it stands to reason they are talking about the same thing.
Quelle surprise
I was very nearly going to buy this yesterday, and now im not, in fact i think i think ive purchased my last wb game on wii u, sick of developers/publishers going back on their word
@Frapp First off monolith is split over two teams so you can't include skyward sword, animal crosing, pikmin 3 or link between worlds as part of your argument because they were from the kyoto studio and it's also difficult to know how much they contributed to those games anyway.
But anyway as far as productivity goes, no maybe they don't output the same volume as Monolith but from what i've seen the Japanese have a very different philosophy to working than most western countries.
Also you don't really know what Retro have been working on that we haven't been privy to yet either, it could be that they have another project well along in it's development, maybe we'll find out soon enough.
@Frapp 1 game every 2 years on average, whats the problem with that? most studios their size would have the same output. Every game theyve put out has rated 90% plus on average and i dare say tropical freeze will too. They are nintendo's go to team when they need help with a project, im sure they must be very unhappy with them
I think its only to be expected that these kickstarter games will hit delays, in many cases these titles are a developers first big project so i think its only natural they maybe dont get the timeframes right. Plus they probably promise more than they can manage to get as many backers as possible
So thats the reason they released wii u!
Share price plummets, nintendo buys them back, tells shareholders to do one, job done
I really dont think theres any great demand for a phone that plays nintendo games, it didnt work for sony. Plus there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with nintendos handheld side of the business anyway, there might be some mileage in a handheld that has some mobile functions, but again sony tried that and it didnt work either.
Nintendo's next step needs to be some sort of hybrid handheld/home console i think something like that would clean up
Im surprused theres even 10 games coming to wii u this year lol.
Seriously tho, i cant watch the video right now but my list would be:
SSB, mario kart, bayonetta, x, donkey kong, yarn yoshi, fe x smt, watch dogs (if we still get it), hyrule warriors not including eshop
I think you have to use your common sense really, games from well known people like keiji inafune or well known indie studios, or even studios that have gotten their name out through sites like this one are more likely to deliver games than those you have never heard of and who maybe only offer some concept art to advertise their idea.
I think this will be the final nail in the coffin for wii u and major 3rd party support, we might see the odd lego or skylanders games but other than that i think it will be exclusively nintendo developed/published titles in the future, not good really.
Its such a shame because wii u is one of my favourite home consoles ever, but they've never gotten over the absolutely abysmal launch
EA really are strange company, say one thing and do another. I can half understand them not supporting the wii u with its current userbase, although they havent helped with half baked ports, but then i suppose its not their responsibility to increase the userbase.
But i cant understand why they dont support the 3ds, that console worldwide has got the biggest instalbase of all the newer consoles and all they've put out recently is a reskined fifa 12, makes no sense at all
What kids games does wii u have? I cant think of any exclusively kid games at all, there might be games like lego city which cover a broad audience but thats about it. If it ea wanted to make a go of things on wii u then they would have kept releasing games on it. Truth is all their efforts were half baked, fifa was based on the previous years engine, mass effect was pointless without the previous 2, need for speed was good but it was still a port of a previously released game, what did they really expect
Why not do an excite truck/bike crossover with waverace, i could see plenty of potential there, maybe even thow in pilotwings as well and it could be like triathlon, but done in a different way to the sega racing transformed games
@Peach64 I'm pretty sure most people know how kickstarter works and you can dress it up whichever way you like, the simple fact of the matter is they positioned 3DS all the way at the $3m mark so that they could screw as much money from loyal Nintendo fans as they possibly could. I forget the exact original figures figures now but how could they possibly position the 3DS version something like $1.5m after the vita version and not expect some sort of backlash. If the game was good enough at that stage of development to warrant a vita release then the 3DS should have been right after that (or before it but that's nit picking). It seems fairly clear to me that they wanted to use nintendo fans to attain as many of those additional goals as they could and those same fans might never have seen a release on their console of choice, even after helping the project hit it's minimum target.
The fact they've altered those goals now, suggests they have realised the project was never going to hit that top 3ds goal, and looking at the trend graph it most likely wasn't. And they are now depending on those same fans to help pull it towards the initial goal just to get the project going in the first place, it might be good business, but it's cynical and takes advantage of fans.
So does that prove a point to all those who said the 3ds stretch goal was fair and that those of us complaining didnt know anything about game development? Clearly it wasnt fair as they have been able to knock $1.3m off the asking price for 3ds.
My biggest gripe with nintendo is it really doesnt pay to be an early adopter. I bought my 3ds at launch, paid the full price and within 6 months the rrp had dropped by a third. I get a premium wii u at launch within 12 month the rrp has dropped by a third. At least with 3ds we got some free games to compensate, what do wii u owners get? Not much by the looks of it, they could have made wii sports free if they'd wanted. After 2 fairly unimpressive console launches i dont think i will be picking up another nintendo console within its first 12 months again
I cant imagine SMTIV will get cancelled in europe, mainly because we have the fire emblem crossover coming, it would be strange logic
I cant see any quotes calling for him to resign?
Anyway why should he, under his watch nintendo have released wii (nintendo's most successful home console ever), ds (nintendo's most successful handheld ever), 3ds (well on its way to being a very successful handheld) and wii u which admittedly hasnt gone to plan. Let's see what can be done to rectify it first, 1 poorly performing console out of 4 doesn't make him unsuitable as president does it?
The prices in game are abysmal, i cant remember the last time i bought anything from them, grainger games is cheaper on the highstreet and the likes of amazon, zavvi, shopto are far cheaper online.
Im struggling to think of one redeeming feature of game,. Its a shop i walk into from time to time and always come out empty handed
@Prof_Clayton is ther actually a 3ds fps market? Im struggling to think of one fps on 3ds at present
The order of the stretch goals is ridiculous, why isnt 3ds positioned just after vita? Instead it's $1m later with a load of non essential stuff before it. Quite simply because they want to screw as much money as possible out of nintendo gamers, and those who donate probably wont even get to see a 3ds version of the game.
Theres nothing wrong with the wii u version of trine 2, and as for this week, i would have picked up luigi if it was priced lower, maybe in future if it gets a sale
I would hazard a guess that albw has sold better in the west than phantom hourglass or spirit tracks ever did tho
Probably my second most played saturn game behind shining force 3, i would love a 3ds release of holy ark or the complete 3 scenarios of sf3. The new shining games since camelot stopped working with sega just arent the same, i'd love them to go into partnership again but i cant see it happening, so re-releases are probably the best we can hope for
Do those who dont live in a qualifying country still get the points cards in the game boxes? Couldnt you just pick an address from another european country to register to and have a friend send you them over?
I just never really liked nes games i cant really explain why, i just preferred master sytem, so these nes games dont really do anything for me
@unrandomsam yes but nintendo would have to be interested in the patents first to agree to take them as part payment, so there must be something of interest to them, or maybe theres patents that will help back up their own in the case of any future challenges
Just got a white one, between this and the luigi diorama i finally had something decent to spend my stars on

The Failure of Peterson-ism
Why Peter Peterson and 20 years of anti-deficit campaigns have barely moved the needle.
For a few months, the upstarts at The Can Kicks Back tried and failed to go "viral." This was predictable. The "viral video" should be an unpredictable beast. People like what they like, and Tumbl what they Tumbl. But there's a whole industry of people paid to schlep wacky things to Internet Thought Leaders. The Can Kicks Back—its name is meant to evoke the proverbial MacGuffin that gets "kicked down the road"—tried video interviews and got 100-odd YouTube views. It tried a visit to the Hill by a 23-year-old staffer dressed as a giant can. That earned around 3,000 views.
Last week, at last, The Can Kicks Back found a hit. Former Sen. Alan Simpson, whose quotability has made him the star of the current austerity campaigns, gave a mock-patronizing (or maybe just patronizing) lecture to America's youth, asking his viewer to "stop Instagramming your breakfast" and start signing up friends to this hip austerity campaign, to save their money from the entitlement-loving "coots." Then he and the Can Man danced along to "Gangnam Style," the most viral song of modern times. "I got a bum knee!" said Simpson, moving with some difficulty and narrating the moves. "The lasso again, and then the horseback. Horse, horse! Ride the cowboys, ride the cowboys."
People couldn't get enough of Dancing Simpson. The performance was "both merry and shrewd," according to Peggy Noonan. Simpson, whose emeritus role chairing the president's debt commission gets him plenty of free media, got even more. In the tangled and expensive world of professional austerity campaigns, this was the first media breakthrough in months.
It was a little bit sad, and a bit more revealing. For 20 years, a coalition of wealthy people—Pete Peterson chief among them—has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to build public support for austerity. They have held annual summits, then semiannual summits. They've written books. They've started up coalitions. They've partnered with MTV. It's been five weeks since Barack Obama was re-elected, and there've been two gatherings in downtown D.C., put on by Peterson-tied organizations, asking politicians to do something about that debt.
But do what, exactly? Here's the current problem with Peterson-ism: As scary as it seems to liberals, as clear as it may be that Peterson wants to build momentum for entitlement cuts, the actual work of these groups has moved us no closer to those said cuts.
And it's had quite some time to try. The modern era of anti-deficit pressure campaigns began in 1992. Democrats, at that time, were the party that panicked over budget deficits, warning voters that these shortfalls would bankrupt the entitlements they loved. Ross Perot's campaign for president was predicated on "shared sacrifice" to cut the then-$4 trillion debt. When Paul Tsongas quit the Democratic primary, he joined Peterson to found the deficit-hawkish Concord Coalition, up and running when Bill Clinton won the presidency.
After the election, Greenberg-Quinlan released a complicated poll of public attitudes on deficit fixes. One thousand and one voters were given a menu of budget items and asked whether to cut them or increase them, and by how much. Voters were ready to hike taxes on pollution by 225 percent, on alcohol by 33 percent, and on corporations by 18 percent. They wanted massive cuts to foreign aid (35 percent), nuclear weapons (27 percent), and defense (17 percent). But they wanted to increase spending on Social Security and Medicare by 1 percent.
The deficit hawks' goal: Inform the public of its wrongness, and move those numbers toward balance. In Facing Up, a 1993 Concord Coalition manifesto, Peterson argued for raising the full-retirement age to 67, for an "affluence test" to make the wealthy pay more for Medicare, for higher Medicare premiums, and for more taxes on benefits. He argued for a bunch of programs that Democrats would like, too, but honed in on entitlements because, clearly, there could be no future if they survived intact. "The Clinton plan doesn't come close to balancing the budget, even in the near term," wrote Peterson. "Inevitably, Clinton's deficit path will mean a much larger public debt."
Five years later, Clinton was presiding over a balanced budget and a smaller public debt. The professional deficit hawks responded by switching up their messaging—instead of an immediate fix to a current crisis, they wanted a fix to a looming crisis. The permanent class of austerity campaigners evolved, and grew less relevant. By 2004, Peterson was telling Businessweek that "the Republicans have become a far more theological, faith-directed party," with no concern for what they were doing to the deficit. But by February 2008, he was seeding the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, a media-savvier reboot of Concord (which is still alive and kicking).
Thus began a bold, big-spending new era of austerity campaigns. The Peterson Foundation joined Concord, which joined the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, whose president Maya MacGuineas had joined the New America Foundation, where she often found herself on the side of the Peterson-supported Committee for Economic Development. In 2010, the Peterson Foundation funded a national awareness tour on the need for entitlement cuts and ran ads touting a foolish phony presidential candidate who wouldn't cut anything: "His favorite period in American history was World War II, when America's debt level reached its peak of 122% of GDP." In 2011 and 2012, the former U.S. Comptroller General David Walker—a Peterson ally and former Peterson Foundation head—almost became a real presidential candidate. He offered his services to the theoretical supporters of Americans Elect, a $35 million effort to re-create the Perot magic by putting a third party on the ballot.

Movie Reviews
View All-
The Grand Budapest Hotel
What a waste of those snowy streets and mountain-scapes in this incoherent comedy from Wes Anderson, set in a fictional European principality.
300: Rise of an Empire
Sequels to films can simultaneously excite and scare fans of the original, but 300 purists can breathe a sigh of relief as Rise of an Empire isn't a direct follow-up.
Ride Along
Despite Kevin Hart's trying really hard to emulate Eddie Murphy, this buddy-cop movie is certainly not the comedy it advertises itself as.
Hugh O'Conor, Andrew Scott and Peter McDonald star in this Irish comedy about a band of (beta) brothers whose ramblers' weekend away is hijacked by an Alpha Male with no need for a compass.

Grand Cayman Eats?
Looking for dinner ideas. Traveling without children. Open to ideas, we love fish, budget not an issue, but we also enjoy informal, kicked-back places. Staying at Ritz so looking for dining ideas off the property. Any suggestions?
I believe Portofino's on the east end was rebuilt and open again. This is one of my favorite restaurants on the island. If they have the seafood shepard's pie, get it. Amazing mix of seafood covered in mashed potatos. Fairly casual place, but very romantic and right on the water with great views.
It's been a few years, but our best meals were at Welly's Cool Spot, a locals place. Off the beaten track, away from the tourist areas, and not high on ambiance, but the food was DELICIOUS! Lots of fresh seafood, well prepared. Prices are at least HALF what you'll find in most of the tourist restaurants. They also have some unusual dishes like goat curry, which my husband had and loved. We ate there several times, and my favorite was the lobster Cayman-style. Big chunks of fresh lobster meat in a tasty sauce. Here's a link:

PSR: Coach says McCoy's Pitt-bound
By Lisa Baratta, PennLive.com
January 16, 2007, 10:54AM
Where is LeSean McCoy headed? After Internet rumors had him committed to Pitt on Sunday, a Patriot-News story by Bob Flounders quoted the star running back saying he hadn't decided yet. The latest word appears to have him headed to Pitt, with the Milford Academy head coach saying that McCoy is definitely committed to play for the Panthers. Chris Dokish, recruiting editor for the Pittsburgh Sports Report, filed this update earlier today:
Milford Academy head football coach Bill Chaplick has confirmed that star running back LeSEAN McCOY has committed to the University of Pittsburgh. "He told me last night," said Chaplick. "He said that was the place for him."
The 6'0" 210 pound McCoy is still not academically eligible, but Chaplick thinks that shouldn't be a problem. "He will be (eligible) at the end of spring as long as he continues to come to class," says Chaplick.More Links: Penn State fans sound off on the rumor LeSean McCoy breaks his ankle McCoy's last game at McDevitt Highlight photos Keystone Recruiting forum Full story »

While not a replacement for the embedded chip or other secure elements in NFC phones, the trusted execution environment on ARM-based smartphone processors can complement security of NFC applications, noted U.S.-based Qualcomm.
NXP Semiconductors shipped 125 million NFC chips in 2012 for smartphones and tablets, the chip maker told NFC Times, beating projections for the NFC device market.
Google has upgraded its membership in the NFC Forum standards and trade group to the top rung, sponsor member, giving the search giant a seat on the 13-member board.
NXP Semiconductors said today it generated about $70 million in sales from its NFC chips and secure elements in the fourth quarter of 2012, up 20% over the previous quarter and three times the chip maker's NFC revenue in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Taiwan-based MediaTek, a major supplier of processor chips for smartphones, has announced its first NFC chip, which it says could support three secure elements at one time.
The 10-year anniversary of the official birth of NFC came and went quietly on Sept. 5, 2012.
U.S.-based chip maker Broadcom, whose Wi-Fi and Bluetooth combination wireless chips are found in such popular smartphones as the Samsung Galaxy S III and Apple iPhone 5, has announced NFC support for one of its next wireless combo chips.
U.S.-based Qualcomm, the world's largest supplier of processor chips to smartphone makers, has entered the NFC market–a move that could substantially expand the availability of NFC-enabled smartphones.
U.S.-based Qualcomm has joined the NFC Forum as a sponsor member, which gives it a seat on the board of the standards and trade organization.
BARCELONA, Spain – It's an oft-repeated goal by NFC backers–to enable customers to use a variety of NFC services when they roam in different countries by downloading the local applications when they arrive at the airport or at the point of service.
BARCELONA, Spain– MasterCard Worldwide announced it has acquired U.S.-based mobile wallet vendor C-SAM, a company in which it had made a sizable investment in late 2012.
BARCELONA, Spain – MasterCard Worldwide is seeking to expand its little-used service provider TSM aggregation service from Poland to Germany, planning to announce a deal to connect a TSM platform to three major German telcos.
BARCELONA, Spain – Samsung Electronics today unveiled its fifth-generation Galaxy S flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S5, which will support NFC, as expected, and also feature a fingerprint sensor in the home button that can secure mobile payments. PayPal has announced it will be the first payments company to support the fingerprint authentication feature on the device.
France-based Inside Secure reported smaller operating losses for 2013, though mainly on an adjusted basis, and wrote off $3.6 million in NFC controller chips it had on hand as it continues to exit the market for the chips.
Visa and MasterCard Worldwide have announced support for host-card emulation and cloud-based payments, with Visa saying it already has initial standards ready and noted endorsements from banks in the U.S., Australia and Canada.
NFC Times Exclusive: The major payments schemes have kept a low public profile in their work on host-card emulation, but they have been quietly fast-tracking the drafting of specifications for the technology for use with their NFC-mobile payments applications, NFC Times has learned.
NFC Times Exclusive: Spanish bank Bankinter has announced it plans to launch its long-anticipated host-card emulation service commercially in the second or third quarter, following a security evaluation by a Germany-based lab.
Gemalto today announced a contract, awarded last year, to supply a TSM platform to Hong Kong ATM and interbank group Jetco.
Incipio's Cashwrap NFC case to enable iPhone owners to use the Isis Mobile Wallet is available for Verizon Wireless, the accessories maker announced Thursday.
NFC Times Exclusive: RBC Secure Cloud Explained: As one of the first commercial launches of cloud-based open-loop payments using NFC, observers will be watching closely how well Royal Bank of Canada's RBC Secure Cloud service does in the market.

Im pretty much itching to make a purchase on Metro for my 360 and was planning to make a launch day purchase until i watched the quick look here on giant bomb.
The 360 edition appears to have some pretty bad slow down issues and im just looking to get an opinion from people who have now played a chunk on the 360. Is the slowdown as bad as the quick look made it appear or is it just in isolated locations? I only ask as out of the 4 or 5 xbox specific reviews i have read not a single one mentions technical issues.
Thanks in advance!
Whats Metro 2033 360 edition like?
There's no slowdown at all tc. I've heard that the GB crew has to slow down the FR to film the quicklooks....dunno really why/true.??
I'm almost done w/my 1st playthrough, and the game is great in many respects. The graphics and models are excellent(esp. the monsters!!). It doesn't hold your hand though; be prepared to figure stuff out without much clue. The atmosphere and setting is very immersive, and the gameplay is good once you get used to it. It's a shooter/stealth mix for sure. There are glitches, nothing gamebreaking at all though, and at times the enemy human AI are dumb, but mostly it is tense, gritty, and fun...especially towards the end imo. There's also replayability because there are so many side areas to find, and missions that aren't required to finish to progress the story, and some are easy to miss. I expect the replay to be even better from the orientation of the first play and the chance to get all the mission achieves etc.
Oh and btw, the word from the russian community is that if you understand/speak russian, the story and comments throughout the game add a ton to the story and interest of the many npcs. Apparently the English translation is rather weak. Russian is a language option, and could add to the immersion even more, understanding or no I spose.

I haven't had any slowdown yet, and I'm more than half-way through the game. There are bugs in the game, but nothing game-breaking or too frustrating, and I believe you'll find those bugs no matter which version of the game you play.

I've not had any slow downs only some glitches.
The main one easily fixable is when I pull out the clip board to look at objectives, and put it away, if I do so too quickly it seems to stay there when I have a gun out, so there's both the clipboard and gun on screen, it's rather annoying, it's fixed by retaking it out over and over till it goes though.
That's it for glitches, the games actually pretty good, especially some of the odd stealth things, like hiding behind a wall knowing a monster is going to run past putting your light out and hoping to God he carrier on because ammo is scarce.

" @Davvyk: I havent encountered any big problems like slowdowns. So far it runs smooth and I am thoroughly enjoying the game. "Beat it and started a second play through. The only real issue of slowdown, and its a big one, is in D6 during the ameba attack. The rest of the game played really well for me.

" Does anyone have an idea of about how long this game is? "My friend beat it on the PC in 8 hours.
I've been trying to decide whether to get this on the PC or 360... I'd prefer to control it on the pc, but unless I move it over to where my tv is buying it on 360 would give a better immersion with the tv/surrounds. I had heard on other reviews that the 360 version was buggy (at least on release) compared to the PC version.. does anyone know if this has changed after all these months ?
thx in advance
The 360 version was not as bad as some claimed it was. I completed it 3 times, and never ran into problems. It looked great, and played great, but if you have a PC, which can play it, I would say you should buy it for that. Mostly because the game was intendedfor that platform, and it looks stunning with all settings maxed out.

The 360 version runs just fine.I had no slowdown at all during my playthrough.
Ic, thx. The main thing i saw in the GT review was the odd ragdoll physics on corpses and some AI that seemed really bad, but comments below the review said the pc version was ok, the AI may have been due to low difficulty setting etc. Doesn't help the 360 that the pc version is on sale quite often...might get it used, though. My basic pc specs are:
Radeon 3870 512mb
4g ram
core 2 quad q6600
going to test the pc-tv hook-up this weekend, but I'd rather wait for a vidcard upgrade like the 5870 so i can just hdmi --> receiver, rather than dvi + sound.

Digital or HDMI For Sound
Thu, Jan 5 2012, 4:08PM
Sorry if this ia dumb question or has been covered before but can't seem to find a definitive answer.
Have a Yamaha RXV771 receiver, blu ray etc. Should I choose to channel the sound through HDMI or my co-axial cable? Have:
HDMI - Audioquest Pearl
Co-Axial - QED Performance
Many thanks
Thu, Jan 5 2012, 4:28PM
From Blu-ray player, HDMI.
If you happen to have Sky+HD, then you'll need to use a separate digital connection for sound if you want surround, as the Sky box only sends stereo over HDMI.

Re: Push Email
Phone is as supplied by EE in the UK, but unlocked. The settings in the HTC client ask you to specify how often you want the phone to check for new mail, or use smart sync. I'd send a test mail from work and there would be a delay before any notification. Anyway I've now installed the yahoo app and the delivery is immediate, so I guess I've answered my own question

I am glad you did. There should be a "Push mail" option under or above (don't remember) the Smart sync option.

Re: Push Email
The stock mail app only checks your emails after a period of time, minimum is every 5 mins and you should select this, it does not support push mail, which is a drawback, but I think the 5 mins gap is acceptable.
The smart sync will check base on your battery and signal, IIRC because I once read it in the description.
Gmail app could be the alternative choice, it pushes faster and looks more professional
But I'm using the stock mail app because it serves my need and I prefer its UI more. - 07-05-2013, 09:47 AM Thread Author #6

When you get to the sync, etc. Hit Off-Peak sync and select push mail. - 07-05-2013, 07:09 PM Thread Author #12
Re: Push Email
The stock email client (at least on sprint) supports push only with an exchange activesync account, not with imap. You can do it with Hotmail (I've heard) but not with Gmail, yahoo, or most isp accounts unless they specifically support an exchange server. The Gmail and yahoo apps support push by default, and there are a bunch of 3rd party email clients that support push for imap.

Website Page Template Designs – Completed Summer 2010 - I collaborated with TechXpress, a web development firm in California for this assignment.
