House of cards... propped up with duct tape and bailing wire, soon to come tumbling down.
Yep, and the markets for the civilians is a total joke. Though the Sheeple seem to always come B-A-A-A-H-H-K... When will they learn that it's all fixed... Not fixed in a good way, but fixed in a bad way.
"the healing has only just begun"
Where exactly is the "healing" you are talking about? You could call giving a terminal cancer patient chemo therapy healing I suppose. Maybe he lives 6 months longer. Not sure that would qualify as healing though.
That is by far the most protracted period of weakness in real US consumer demand since the end of World War II – and a massive slowdown from the pre-crisis pace of 3.6% annual real consumption growth from 1996 to 2007.
So... Americans are buying less over-priced crap from shitty companies on credit from TBTF, Roach is saying this like it's a bad thing.
"Where exactly is the "healing" you are talking about?"
yeah, he should have left that shit out...aint no mother fucking healing goin on...everywhere i turn people r broke ass hell and aint getting no work...and im talking about contractors, mortgage brokers, Title Company workers and the lot that thought good times were here to stay back in 07'.....
Healing my ass.
Apparently, even he's sucseptible to the media barrage of phony good news. So while not drinking the koolaid, he did take a sip.
By healing, he must mean that Obummercare has not yet slaughtered the last of the small businesses.
I hear a new Internet Tax is in the works. Just like the Self Employment Tax of Reagan politicians can't wait to kill off the cradle of new business with a tax. Soon we will see a Fetus Tax payable shortly after birth.
with the onset of robots, digital printers (worker widow makers) and drones...this nightmare is just getting started. an economy built on consumption was bound to fail. i'm long undertakers.
Within the context of a credit/debt based monetary system, it is, in fact, a bad thing... unless, of course, you are rooting for total collapse, which is a valid POV. I'm willing to bet, however, that only 1 out of 10 who talk of "bring on the collapse" are actually prepared for said collapse. The one who is prepared can't possible plan for every scenario. And so I'm clear... collapse in inevitable... kicking the can is just kicking the can. There is no solution, only timing.
Just because one hopes for a total collapse doesn't necessarily imply one intends to survive it. This system must die. It is dying....slowly.
Collapse of what is my quesiton. It makes me think of a plantation or something, the slave owner is experiencing the effects of a downturn in the economy and the slaves are terrified that if the owner stops getting work they'll all be out a "job" instead of thinking "hey what can we do about this whole slavery thing?"
Do Americans actually think that the current class hierarchy of the US is a good thing? That on balance the US is a force for good in the world? That a system with heavy corruption on every level should be sacrificed for?
All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.
I agree with everything you say. I don't think that on balance the US is a force for good in the world; quite the opposite, really. I don't think that current class hierarchy is a good thing, and I think the plantation metaphor is fair. To your point "from popular culture to the propaganda system..."... I actually don't differentiate between the two.
All that said, however, I'm not terribly optimistic about life during the coming transition, nor am I terribly optimistic about what things will look like on the other side. We shall see.
A lot of the coming 'transition' has already happened, the elite are sounding the alarm bell because they're terrified of what they see.
The institutions of corporatism have failed and are currently being propped up synthetically (and due for another well-deserved collapse) but a world without those institutions would be a better place.
That doesn't mean they'll go down easy, they'll inflict as much pain on as many as possible - whether through fascism, poverty etc. but that's always been the case anyway, they're just good at hiding their transgressions.
We have two American flags always: one for the rich and one for the poor. When the rich fly it means that things are under control; when the poor fly it means danger, revolution, anarchy.
A lifetime of continual false dichotomy on all fronts.
But not because they've seen the errors of their ways, only because they've maxed out the last charge card.
Steven Roach is a literal roach. Let's not forget it's this "thought leader" that promoted BRIC(primarily China) at all cost which destroyed the US consumer and the US economy.(Hey Stevie, no jobbie that went offshore, no money to buy things). This attempt at self-absolution by historical deflection is nauseating. It has been his economic policy recommendations and the rest of his fellow economist warlocks that screwed the pooch.
This guy is on par with Krugman as a despicable human being in my book. Another pompous Ivy League d-Bag who thinks he's above everyone. If history had any integrity, this guy would be listed in the top 10 for the destruction of the world economy.
in real 'life'...that terminal patient could make it longer than you or I might....it is up to God to decide our path....
i know one thing is certain, you will not make it out of 'this' alive.
so the moral....don't sweat the little stuff....and remember, everything is little.
Duct tape and bailing wire now made in China.
See-through retail strips were rife in 2008.
Guess what?
It's all about income growth. The US economy is dominated by consumer spending, and the majority of consumers are experiencing stagnant or falling incomes.
And its about stealth inflation. They don't want to report the REAL inflation rate. If your income grows by 3% but inflation is 8% you are still going backward.
Stealth inflation is everywhere too. From government data that doesn't tell the whole picture, to smaller container sizes, to things that only last half as long, inflation is MUCH worse than we are told. 2% my ass!!
The shrinking package size has become very noticeable.
You know they have Viagra for that now.
"things that only last half as long,"
Minor correction: Things that last half as long, but cost twice as much. Our New Normal.
Right....it is all about income growth or the lack thereof.....and this article fails to point out that the loss in income growth has been going on for decades, not just post 2008.....we have not seen real income growth since the 1970's in NA. This has been covered over and made up for to some extent by the huge increase of credit and by the addition of a second salary (the wife) to many households. That has not been enough, however, to make up the shortfall and we are increasingly living on credit just to get by....there can be no true economic growth without income growth and it is still going the wrong way....until this changes we are just shifting the seats on the deck of the titanic......QE will just end in a huge hangover for those who binged on it and a huge debt for the rest of us......get ready for a lower $$ and higher inflation. NA's will have to adapt to lower and lower standards of living until the rest of the world catches up....then we can hope to see salaries go up (to catch up with the Chinese). Sad, sad, sad.................buying gold stocks may be one way for those with investment $$'s to protect their savings imho.........my heart goes out to the poor fucking NA peasants (myself included) screwed over by the 1% who could have averted this situation by paying taxes on some of their outrageous wealth instead of socking it away in tax havens (don't tell me taxing the uberwealthy and multi-nationals is a bad thing....if you think that and are not part of the 1% you have been brainwashed).
Its not even the 1%. Married people making $250k are supposedly in the 1%. They aren't living like Warren Buffet or Bill Gates. Its more like the .1 % that have the most wealth.
Ok.... point 1% if you prefer....we all know who we are talking about here.......the distribution of wealth is increasingly and astoundingly being concentrated into the hands of a very few incredibly wealthy people and businesses who pay virtually no tax while the rest of us flounder in a sea of taxes, fees and 'charges'...............the US was created as a result of people's outrage at taxatation without representation........we are now ruled by a few who pay no tax and who represent no one but themselves....where is the outrage?? Oh, I forgot, the Tea Party co-opted it and then left the building..........smart manipulation by the .1%!
I don't now if the "Tea Party" co-opted it, or if the Tea Party was co-opted by the Republican wing of the one party finance fascism, MIC party. And it doesn't really matter, because it has, in fact, been co-opted. I feel the same way about OWS. I think both movements had a moment of sincerity, but were essentially captured. Ironically, the core tenants of both movements are they same, even if those involved don't understand it. We can't have anything nice.
This is so true Scotty. My husband and I make between 225k and 250k depending if he gets a bonus. Twenty years ago we made a combined income of 100k. So we have had a dramatic increase in income. However there is a DRAMATIC difference in our life style. Twenty years ago we could comfortably pay our bills and lived a good life, albeit frugal. Today every month is a nail biting challenge to stay in budget. We cannot save adequately to anticipate unexpected expenses ( struts went out on my car last month and we had to use the heloc to cover the $2000...that would have been anathema 10 years ago) Every luxury we used to take for granted we've cut out. Taxes and inflation have sucked the life out of us. If you had told me at 16 I was going to make this kind of money I would have assumed I would be living the life of Riley. Not that I don't appreciate my job and life because I am execedingly grateful for what I have. But, frankly , earning this income is quite meaningless when it's all taken away.
The buyong power of that $200,000 is a lot less than that $100,000 was 20 year sback - but the accompanying costs - especially TAXES (income and property, sales and everythign else) keep going up - while you're making NOTHING on your savings and investmernts (IF you have any).
High salaries usually go with high priced areas BUT if you live in a high priced place you're screwed. The median household income around here (NYC burbs) is $200,000 but the cost of living is brutal. Local property taxes have more than tripled in the last 20 years and the cost opf pretty much anything has gone trhough the roof. Heating oil has gone from under $1 a gallon to over $4. Food is nuts - a pound of bacon went from Around $4 to over $7 in the last year..... BACON. A rib roast is obscenely expensive.
But $200,000 puts you in the 'top 1 or 2%' nationwide. Doesn't feel like it. My brother in NC has a far better lifestyle on a lot less income.
I can only confirm what you say. It sounds crazy! But I am in Toronto where housing, property tax, income tax, life/auto/health insurance and food prices are just killing us. Thankfully we haven't been sucked into "buying up" into a 500k mortgage like many of my friends and colleagues. We live modestly - still haven't renovated our kitchen - but manage to afford decent quality furniture, clothes and foods for our kids. And save a bit, too. But unlike my friends, I will own my house in 10 yrs!
The huge number of government employees and retirees in this area are flush. New homes, remodels, new BMWs, Lexus, and Mercedes, are everywhere. Government people are doing really well right now.
I've lived inside the DC Metro area for most of my life, and never before have I seen so many (previously any) Maserati's, Ferrari's, etc etc. Here in Northern Virginia, the excess is palatable. A ten minute drive through Middleburg, Chantilly, Roundhill, you will see 100 $1,000,000 + houses and probably just as many $10,000,000 houses. Its trickle down, but it only trickles down from the $35+ million tax brack to the $18 million tax bracket. Lobbyists, lawyers. Rich Afr Americans in 7 series' everywhere. They are all gov't employees or work with the government and they are living LARGE. Its not the economy, its the government, STUPID!
Visited several horse spreads in Middleburg and about. Many of the first generation owners had mysterious consulting jobs with agencies. It was hard to understand what real value they were delivering to Uncle. As Ike said to the peeps upon turning over the keys to the White House,"Beware of the [bankers and] the military-industrial complex." The bracketed part was excised by his pol adviser. He could see the real fiat flows and the coming of The Oligarchs. People dont listen, don't want to hear. Rather be happy than free. Sweep on you fat and greasy citizens. The days of your harvesting will turn to slaughter. VTY, A. Hitler, J. Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot.
They say Potomac is for millionaires, Middleburg is for billionaires. How did anyone become a billionaire on $400,000 a year, which is roughly the highest paying government salary?
yeah, and people actually 'donate' almost 1,000,000,0000 dollars to get a man elected to a 400,000 per year job. yep, there is no political favors here to see. move along.
Now that we've reached the guilty verdict, what would you suggest the sentence be?
My boss is a black lady who grew up poor in the south and now drives a Mercedes and is a disabled parking cheat. She is promoted up the ranks by the federal government. I shit you not.
Ain't America grand.
it was bound to collaspe as soon as they started fudging the numbers in the 80's. They learned their lesson during that period, people get angry when they know the truth. Also you can add higher education and healthcare to your list of government employees. Sometimes i'll watch a video of some financial type, and they'll be talking about how QE is bad and then suggest investing in healthcare, and that industry won't go down and is only going to grow. I suppose i fail to understand how anything is going to grow when everyone broke...... i must be missing something. Anyways, lots of healthcare people are going to be unemployed when this shit pops
House prices are beginning to "correct" ...revert to the mean as mortgage rates rise. The buyers who were sucked into the spin that the house market has stabilized now get to watch thier houses sink in value. In my neighborhood nothing is selling...very quiet for the so-called "peak RE time of year."
Houses are going back to their 1995 prices, which is where they were before FHA (via Clinton) started giving mortgages out to those who neither had any intent to pay them nor were capable if they wanted to. When those borrowers defaulted, the government made the banks whole by printing money away from good citizens
*I mean Fair Housing Act, not Federal Housing Administration. These abominations are a cancer on the market and no I do mean to offend

thanks for sharing.
I did, thanks. Hope the arrows pierce the armor.
Here's the Plan.
Continue to harvest the wealth of of the middle class while paying off the welfare class.
When done with that default on everyone.
Brutally repress the violent social reaction and lower the population with advanced weaponry.
Live happily ever after.
The wealth of the middle class is their labor, their small amount of property, and their essential role as the semi-permeable barrier between the lower and upper classes.
Anyone who didn't have their thumb up their ass and a dick in their ears saw this coming 500 miles away. Default is such a legal term. .gov defaulted when it took out JKF which was our Julius Caeser moment. Anyways, there is and never has been a need to say "I will no longer be paying the debt"
It said that the day it started printing money. Ask Lenin about debauching a currency
Healing hasn't even started. The 99% are stringing along by accessing government benefits or not paying their mortgage. Labour's share of GDP is still steadily decreasing and inflation in 'non-core' necessities like food and energy is squeezing budget's relentlessly. Where does Roach see healing beginning exactly?
My wallet has healed quite nicely. Whereas in the past it had a gaping opening full of cash and cards it now has completely healed shut with nary a scar to ever show that it once hemorrhaged cash.
Who gives a shit about the consumption zombies?
zombie banks.
I went to the mall yesterday. Dead silent.
I am checking it again today to see if those 60% reduced racks with "Take an additional 40% off" signs do anything. The people I do see buying are only looking at stuff about 90% off, or so.
an author who has recent intercourse with "current and former central bankers"..... impressive
The game is over.
added to the analysis above, this should cheer ya'll up .....
cheers, and remember to thank and then shoot a banker...
I think you got your order of events wrong. Didn't you mean to shoot and then thank? After all, the only reason I can think of thanking a banker for is ...well you know. Gotta run now and I mean literally.
But…ZIRP & QE2, 3, 4 & 5 are designed to jump start the economy? Color me shocked when high employment shackles the 'Get into the debt game to fluff your FICO score and accumulate more'.
Let's flood the US with illegal immigrates, so we can absorb lost tax revenues due to our high unemployment levels thru globalization magic. Everyone can surly see how that fucked up thought backfired in the UK? This desperation of power is hanging on a thread.
"in the absence of law" (and we are for all intents and purposes living in a lawless society right now) "you get true capitalism." in my view the Government is moving around the foodie dish "and seeing what happens." and that's about it. having seen it first hand and up close gotta say it's surprising how predictable we all can become in this "new normal." having said that "possession is 9/10's (or is it 9/11's?) the law." if i simply "move in" don't i own the place now? i mean there is a point where nobody really is paying for anything anymore. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverse_possession
Just wait until Obama Care kicks in. Plus, so many people that worked full time being pushed into part time because of Obama Care.
Obama care will be a nightmare...many small business´s will not be able to pay it...and the employees will find many a lawyer to sue if they don´t get it...many people will lose their jobs or get cut back....but the politicians will change that law..and require insurance for part timers too..they have to ...so costs go up 20-50 %....can they be passed on....???? Don´t know but it could be the fire that starts hyperinflation in my mind
If you live in Maryland you get hit from all sides. Our dear O'Malley has raised the taxes on your toilet flushes, your water bill, increased Gas Taxes, A Tax for the Restoration of the Chesapeake Bay of $75. on your Property Tax bill and now a Rain Tax. Plus, whenever possible a huge increase on your Property Taxes with Assessors over valuing you house.
Plus, if you are a Landlord they fine you if your Tenant does not keep the lid on your Trash Can $250. per incident and the amount progressively goes up for each fine.
No wonder no one has any Money to spend.
Yes. Plus you get the luxury of extreme gerrymandering. Elijah Cummings who grew up and lives in inner city Baltimore is now representing farmers. People I know around here are leaving in droves. Businesses as well. The rain tax will be the death knell of the so called Free State. Take a drive around the wealthier office parks in Baltimore DC area and take note of all of the office space for lease....those businesses are NOT coming back- at least not with impending Rain tax.
As far as the note about Debt reduction, I can see why. If you have a Credit Card that you are paying 9% on, why would you not use your Savings to pay it off. After all the Bank is only giving you .05% on your Savings Account.
I had a friend and we were talking about the interest rates the Bank was giving. Interesingly enough he had enough Money in his Savings Account to pay off his 5% Mortgage. I said why would you only get .05% in your Savings Account and still pay 5% on your Mortgage. Pay the Mortgage off and the Money you save by not having Mortgage payments can become your Savings. He agreed and paid off his Mortgage.
So, why keep Money in Savings when you can use it to pay off Debt with a much higher interest rate? Thanks Bernanke. Many of us are becoming Debt free.
what hasn't happened is an asset price failure...and by that i DON'T mean 2008...but 2008 as being "just the tip of the iceberg." in other words "the problem is so big is defies explanation" let alone solution. for those stuck in hunky-dory land they still believe the Fed can "QE" their way out of this thing...but at some point you get a prop 13 problem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_13_(1978) there's a reason why California real estate is going sky high yet again...and that's because you can only get more "tax revenues" via massively increasing the value of said real estate. this simply is not true in the rest of the country which has been tax and spent to exhaustion. Wall Street is going to provide those revenues Federal Government? hahahahahahahaha. "just like it did in 2008"?!!! hmmmm. "you better have a pretty small Government then"...or at least one VERY efficient at delivery services for every tax dollar spent. how's that score card looking?
Many? No. Few.
Debt is never allowed to decrease. Decrease in debt is literally a recession. When they say growth, what they mean is growth in debt. Debt is never extinguished in the current monetary system it's only ever moved from one debtor to another, and the debtor of last resort is the government.
Off topic
I have a question. Since all x-ray machines have been removed from all US airports, where has the taxpayer monies gone? Does the manufacture bare the financial loss or does the taxpayer get raped on a reform that was funded thru multiple airline fee charges. Show me where the money flowed and who's pocket was seeded for a failed experiment.
TSA Eliminates All Invasive, 'Gumby' X-Ray Machines
Why we should "Israelify" our Airport Security-2010
This comedy roars with laughter. Everyone knows why/who is creating this fucked up mess. The global community will not need to engage in war to stop this madness. The perpetrators can run, but never hide.
The money was removed long before the machines were removed.
Got to have jobs to buy shit. Food stamps and cash aid only go so far.
zombie apocalypse 4,3,2....
the american consumer is a hollowed out carcass and like an exoskeletion it has all the appearances of body but upon closer inspection it really is just a shell. The economic ponzi model upon which the american consumer was an integral part of the global economy is dead, just like an exoskeleton. Time will turn it to dust and voila, the entire ponzi goes with it. The new master > police state > surveillance > drones will be employed to keep the defunct american consumer at bay and away from the 1%. Make sure to bring a tank or two to the gun fight, they'll come in handy.
Subprime lending hasn't stopped. The only way they can get even these pathetic sales numbers is to give the crap away to people they know will never pay for it and stick the bill to the taxpayer once more.
Will Obama intentionally crash the economy now that many know it's true state? He's in more hot water than the average clown American is capable of imagining.
"never let a crisis go to waste" especially when if it's a crisis of your own manufacture......
I think the Obowel Movement's original plan was to crash a few months ahead of the mid term election, then attempt to blame it all on the Republicans........
Perhaps the timeline will be sped up when the revelations that The Obowel Movement has given surface to air missles to Al Qaida surface in the MSM.......
I mean even the dumbest of the braindead American electorate will know that's wrong......right?????
Is the following not all that needs to be said?
"Don't believe it. First, consider the facts:"
I am pretty sure that most ZH'ers do not require the prompt. How to make others.... It's just us.
yeah, I'm trying to figure out about the rosy picture of the economy painted by the MSM and believed by the pleebs.
Not by choice, but...THAT MANIPULATING CRIMINAL, will be starved along with me!
feel the pressure CRIMINALS
It is only 70% of the top 20% the lower 80% could all die and the statistic would remain the same.
Clinton helped hollow out the economy with NAFTA, now Obama will usher in the TPP. More jobs to leave as more cheap goods flood in, and the TPP, once signed, is not up for review.
But don't worry, it will all be okay until the EBT cards run dry. At that point all the FEMA camps in the world will not contain the mayhem.
And me? I'll be on a one way plane anywhere else until the fires have all burned down, the smoke has cleared, and the FED will be an ash heap. Hopefully wel'll still have a Democracy of some sort.
I am sure many no longer consider themselves consumers. They have made a lifestyle change/choice. They only buy what they need to survive and the infrequent treat.
The former American Consumer IS okay and IS improving. Those on the outside looking in still think something is wrong.
Perhaps part of the "meltdown" will result in turning back to what worked before. Just one example; with all the monopoly industries allowed to dominate markets today, can you imagine the resultant "new hires" from breaking these companies up? The "efficiency of scale" benefit steals hundreds of thousands of jobs. And a tax on Wall St could fund a lot of infrastructure-rebuilding activity.
First we have to remove the corrupt government that looks the other way while these companies, TBTF banks and Wall St steal us blind.
The banks are doing what they do with the approval of the FED.
The healing won't begin until all of the bubbles that the Fed blew are burst. Many of us live paycheck to paycheck these days and I remember when that wasn't so. I remember having discretionary income. People had reasonably well-paying jobs and if you didn't have a job back then, it was because you were a lazy fuck. I'd rather feel the "pain" in the short run rather than dragging out all this shit through QE and bubbles. But hey, that's just me.

Estimating the Natural Illumination Conditions from a Single Outdoor Image
submitted by
2 years and 4 months ago - Topic:
Given a single outdoor image, we present a method for estimating the likely illumination conditions of the scene. In particular, we compute the probability distribution over the sun position and visibility. The method relies on a combination of weak cues that can be extracted from different portions of the image: the sky, the vertical surfaces, the ground, and the convex objects in the image. While no single cue can reliably estimate illumination by itself, each one can reinforce the others to yield a more robust estimate. This is combined with a data-driven prior computed over a dataset of 6 million photos. We present quantitative results on a webcam dataset with annotated sun positions, as well as quantitative and qualitative results on consumer-grade photographs downloaded from Internet. Based on the estimated illumination, we show how to realistically insert synthetic 3-D objects into the scene, and how to transfer appearance across images while keeping the illumination consistent.

Rumex obtusifolius is a common weed that is difficult to control. The most common way to control weeds—using herbicides—is being reconsidered because of its adverse environmental impact. Robotic systems are regarded as a viable non-chemical alternative for treating R. obtusifolius and also ot...

Deformable model for estimating clothed and naked human shapes from a single image
submitted by

Estimation of human shape from images has numerous applications ranging from graphics to surveillance. A single image provides insufficient constraints (e.g. clothing), making human shape estimation more challenging. We propose a method to simultaneously estimate a person's clothed and naked sh...

Linda Hogan's relationship with her boy toy just got creepier.
We hear 19-year-old Charley Hill was "definitely friends" with Nick Hogan when they were kids, and we we're told he was an altar server at the church the Hogan family attended in Florida years ago. Holy jail bait! Charley was only one grade above Nick, and our sources tell us the two often played sports together.
The boys prayed and played together -- will Nick have a new step-daddy? Yuck.
All I can do is shake my head, I think most of the family is decent except for the old bitch!
These people are sick. He has a girlfriend who looks like his own daughter and the wife dates a boy who could be her son. It's like a big incest filled sex-fest. Disgusting. Or maybe just the epitome of narcissism.. having sex with your own look-a-like.. creepy!
First: Creepy indeed.
Second: Are those amazing green eyes that I see? He would be so friggin hot if he were to cut his hair.
Ah who cares. Let her have some fun! She is getting older and doesn't have much life. Go ahead Linda! Get you some young booty!
They are all awful himan beings, but she takes the cake. She is a horrible mother and was an awful wife. It is no wonder that her children are as jacked up as they are.
Uggh nevermind. I just saw the other post with the video of him. I don't think even the haircut would help much. What happened to him in between the photo above and now? Not to mention his dancing. Yikes.
Uggh nevermind, not cute. I just saw the other post with the video of him. I don't think even the haircut would help much. What happened to him in between the photo above and now? Not to mention his dancing. Yikes.
Ok seriosuly when ur screwing a dude who went to school with ur YOUNGEST kid u have F*ing issues hey. Thats just nasty. Ill bet anything she had video cameras in the bathroom and she was sitting there masterbating with her "BOB" while he showered at her house after "playing sports" with Nick. Nasty ass whore!

Bioengineers and physicians have created an artificial ear -- using 3-D printing and injectable molds -- that looks and acts like a natural ear, giving new hope to thousands of children born with a congenital deformity called microtia. Scientists have described how 3-D printing and injectable gels made of living cells can fashion ears that are practically identical to a human ear. Over a three-month period, these flexible ears grew cartilage to replace the collagen that was used to mold them.

Data? Check.
Technology? Check.
Insights? Not on demand, but... Check!
So why don't they heed your calculated, weighted, computed advice?
"Listen, we ran the numbers and we really should be doing X."
"OK, thanks."
"No, really. We really should."
"Yeah, got it. Thanks."
And then... nothing.
Because you just suggested that Ms. Decision Maker should definitely have the chicken salad for lunch.
You're an analyst, not a dietician. You don't know that she had chicken for dinner last night and had to eat chicken salad sandwiches every day as a child. You don't know that her boss once almost choked to death on a chicken bone. You don't know that the IT liaison to the marketing department, who always wears a chicken suit to costume parties, is at the next table and will give Ms. Decision Maker no end of grief if she orders chicken. These things are not in your data.
The problem is further compounded when she ignores your passion. You try to explain, but she looks at you as if you were describing, in gruesome detail, your strenuous struggles with massive astrological charts and, while the earlier vitaspheres do not always line up properly with modern cosmographic depictions of the celestial sphere, the decision maker in question should definitely have the chicken salad for lunch.
Your recommendation is dismissed as quickly as relationship advice from the guy sitting next to you in a bar... in an airport... in a snow storm... after the third Manhattan.
Stop being that annoying, buzzing insect in 2014 and commit to becoming a Change Agent instead. If you're working your brains into mush every day but nobody in your organization is listening, there are two possibilities:
a) You're in the wrong organization, or
b) You're doing it wrong.
Do you really want to be a change agent? Then pack your bags.
A change agent is a person who believes so strongly that they are right about how the company should operate that they are willing to put everything on the line to make it happen - up to and including their job. If this company cannot see the light, then you probably don't want to work there anymore.
However, bluster and pleading are not the way.
Nor is straight-up, irrefutable logic. You need to be a bit of a salesperson, as well. Enthusiasm, vision and explaining the sizzle are part of the job -- as is the well thought-out plan.
Imagine yourself in that seat of power. If someone comes to you with what they perceive is a serious problem or opportunity, along with some very serious enthusiasm that cannot be squelched then -- yes -- they are a pest. However, if they come to you with a serious problem or opportunity, and some serious enthusiasm along with a fully-baked plan for solving it or taking advantage of it then you would welcome them with open arms.
Be not afraid. Be irrefutable. Be bold. Do your homework so you know the goals of the organization at that very moment. Do your homework so you know the goals of the people you are trying to convince. Do your homework so you know the risks you are asking people to take and devise strategies for mitigating that risk. (Think testing!)
However, if you cannot show small wins in order to get buy-in for bigger efforts; if you cannot get people to experiment based on predictive analytics; if you cannot get people to give up their ego centric, always-gone-by-the-gut/instinct self-love, then maybe this company just isn't for you.
Without a serious, data-loving culture, you might simply be better off taking a job elsewhere.
But first, you really should have the chicken salad. After all, the moon is in the Seventh House and Jupiter is starting to align with Mars.

Apple has released iOS 7.1 beta 3 to developers. Registered developers can download it from the Developer Center or over the air on a device with a previous beta installed. To install over the air, simply go to Settings > General > Software Update, and hit Install.
Source: Apple Developer Center

Apple has just released iOS 7 beta 3 to developers. It's available both as an over the air (OTA) download and, if past is prologue, it'll be available soon from Apple's developer web site (assuming, of course, you're a registered iOS developer).
Apple's public information about iOS 7 beta 3 indicates bug fixes and improvements. iOS 7 is covered under Apple's Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with registered developers as Apple prepares its release to the general public this fall. Registered developers should check the release notes before updating.
Apple has just released iOS 6.1 beta 4 to developers. If you already have the iOS 6.1 beta installed, launch Settings, tap General, tap Software Update, and update in-place and over-the-air (OTA). If not, or if you prefer to be traditional about it, you can download the firmware from developer.apple.com and load the whole thing over USB.
Apple has released iOS 6.1 beta 3 to developers. If you're a paid iOS developer, head on over to Settings > General > Software Update to update in place, or developer.apple.com to download and install manually via iTunes.
What began life as mac.com email address and became me.com with iPhone OS 2 will now be transitioning again, this to time to icloud.com, and reportedly Apple is starting with the just-released iOS 6 beta 3. This according to information obtained by MacRumors. The notice, supplied to developers by Apple, reads in part:
icloud.com email addresses are now available for iCloud mail users. Users signing up for new Apple IDs, or enabling Mail on their iCloud account for the first time, will automatically receive an @icloud.com email address instead of a me.com email address.
Apple has just released iOS 6 beta 3 to registered developers. It's available now over the air (OTA) via Settings, General, Software Update, or can be downloaded from Apple's developer portal.
Could iOS 4.3 beta 3 arrive for developers today? BGR claims their sources say it is so and build 8F5166b no less. There was only a week between beta 1 and beta 2 which is faster than Apple's usual 2 week pace but there was no new beta last week.
iPad 6 months later. Plus iOS 4.2 beta 3, Apple's Back to the Mac event, AT&T and Verizon a go, and Costco a giant NO! We're eating into netbooks folks... this is iPad live!
Apple's just-released iOS 4.2 beta 3 doesn't seem to be packing too many surprises yet. But while developers and code-ninja alike do their deep diving, we'll take a look at the obvious changes, including new text tones for iPhone (though still no custom tones, sorry!), new wallpaper for iPad, and some new restrictions in the settings.
For more, check out our complete iOS 4.2 beta walkthrough, and if you notice anything we missed, let us know!
Like clockwork Apple has released iOS 4.2 beta 3 for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad for developers, along with the requisite SDK and iTunes 10.1 beta 2.
As always, this is pre-release software meant for developers to test their applications and Apple warns it might prove too buggy or unstable for daily use on your main device. If you don't need it, wait for the general release.
If you do need it, grab it from developer.apple.com and let us know what secrets you find lurking inside! For more, check out our complete iOS 4.2 beta walkthrough.

Linux And Windows Square Off In Another Round Of TCO Testing
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wed, 31/08/2005 - 10:55pm Filed underJust as the debate over whether Linux or Windows is cheaper to deploy and manage was threatening to become old hat, IBM on Wednesday fired the latest salvo by promoting two reports it sponsored.
How Linux Could Overthrow Microsoft
Submitted by srlinuxx on Mon, 29/08/2005 - 6:57am Filed underFor as long as most technologists can remember, there has been "Wintel." But "Lintel," or the Linux operating system and Intel, is now encroaching on this empire, and behind it is the entire open-source software movement, which threatens to overthrow the Windows industry.
Survey: Apps Availability Drives OS Choice
Submitted by srlinuxx on Fri, 26/08/2005 - 4:46am Filed underRackspace is a leading Web hosting company which, with about half of its enterprise customers using Linux and the other half using Windows, surveyed its users to find out why they chose one operating system over the other.
What's it going to be: Windows Vista or Linux? Or Mac OS X?
Submitted by srlinuxx on Sun, 21/08/2005 - 10:45pm Filed underOMG! Softpedia has published an editorial by the Editor-in-Chief and the Linux-Editor showing their complete ignorance of Linux and sticking their feet in their collective winmouths. We need to sick Helios on 'em.
The worm that didn't turn up
Submitted by srlinuxx on Sun, 21/08/2005 - 2:18am Filed underLike many people last week, I received an urgent email from our network manager. It reads, in part: 'A new virus "W32/IRCBot.worm! MS05-039" is active out there!' I have never had a computer virus, trojan or worm. Not a single one. How have I achieved this blissful freedom?
Microsoft and Linux must co-exist
Submitted by srlinuxx on Thu, 18/08/2005 - 8:37pm Filed underFew IT organisations have the luxury of being able to choose an all-Microsoft or an all-open source infrastructure. And even if they could, it's unlikely they would survive.
Zotob Madness and the Real Cost of Windows vs. Linux
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wed, 17/08/2005 - 10:29pm Filed underThe Zotob attacks could have been prevented by proper Windows patching, or they could have easily been prevented for less by using Linux in the first place.
Linux vs. Windows: TCO Comparison
Submitted by srlinuxx on Tue, 16/08/2005 - 9:16pm Filed underContrary to what the headlines would have us believe, the biggest threat to Microsoft's continued dominance, at present, is not Linux. It is older versions of Windows. The biggest threat to Linux is not Microsoft, but rather integration and interoperability issues among various Linux distributions and their applications.
The Truth About Windows Alternatives
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wed, 27/07/2005 - 5:47pm Filed underCan an annoyed Windows user find happiness in a multiplatform environment? Our editor tried the Mac and Linux--and came away impressed.
Tension between OpenSolaris derivatives
Submitted by srlinuxx on Mon, 27/06/2005 - 6:04am Filed underRivalry between different derivatives of OpenSolaris has already begun, two weeks after Sun Microsystems' initial code release.
Does the OS matter anymore?
Submitted by srlinuxx on Mon, 20/06/2005 - 4:41pm Filed underMost of us have been conditioned for so long that the Microsoft "platform" is essential that we scarcely pause to think about alternatives. But as long as we can perform our essential tasks - print that report, send that email - does the operating system really matter?
First OpenSolaris derivative in the wild
Submitted by srlinuxx on Mon, 20/06/2005 - 6:35am Filed underDubbed 'SchilliX' after its principal developer, the first operating system based on OpenSolaris has been released, days after Sun Microsystems freed the massive code base.
Secret life of the OpenSolaris code
Submitted by srlinuxx on Fri, 17/06/2005 - 2:54pm Filed underAlthough incidences of profanity and swearing are rare in the ten million lines of the newly-released OpenSolaris code, the ones that do exist reveal programmers' frustration with their art.
OpenSolaris Needs Time to Shine
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wed, 15/06/2005 - 3:06am Filed underCompetitors and analysts are waiting to see whether possible Linux challenger OpenSolaris will build enough of a community to change Sun's business future.
Apple's Tiger vs. Windows XP 64-Bit Edition vs. Linux
Submitted by srlinuxx on Mon, 02/05/2005 - 2:49pm Filed underWith servers, where there is a good economic model, Linux would clearly remain favored over Apple because of much deeper support from companies like HP and IBM.

Primary Starts Fight for Control of State Legislature
New Mexico's primary election is deciding whether two dozen legislators can hold on to their jobs. All 112 seats in the House and Senate are up for election this year, but there are contested primary races in only 43 House and Senate districts.
Democrats have controlled the House and Senate for decades, and the outcome of the primary will set the stage for what's expected to be an aggressive general election campaign led by Republican Governor Susana Martinez to chip away at the Democratic majorities.
Two dozen incumbents face primary challengers, and more legislators will face opponents in the general election. One primary race features two incumbents. Roswell Republicans Bob Wooley and Dennis Kintigh are running for the same House seat because of redistricting.

Mississippi man arrested in ricin case
2013 04 18
By Holbrook Mohr |
Paul Kevin Curtis believed he had uncovered a conspiracy to sell human body parts on the black market
A Mississippi man accused of mailing letters with suspected ricin to national leaders believed he had uncovered a conspiracy to sell human body parts on the black market and sometimes performed as an Elvis Presley impersonator.
Paul Kevin Curtis, 45, was arrested Wednesday at his home in Corinth, near the Tennessee state line about 50 miles north of Presleys birthplace in Tupelo.
Authorities were waiting for definitive tests on intercepted letters that were addressed to President Barack Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss. Preliminary field tests can often show false positives for ricin. Ricin is derived from the castor plant that makes castor oil. There is no antidote and its deadliest when inhaled.
An FBI intelligence bulletin obtained by The Associated Press said the two letters were postmarked Memphis, Tenn.
Both letters said: To see a wrong and not expose it, is to become a silent partner to its continuance. Both were signed, I am KC and I approve this message.
The letters had Washington on edge in the days after the Boston Marathon bombing. As authorities scurried to investigate three questionable packages discovered in Senate office buildings Wednesday, reports of suspicious items also came in from at least three senators offices in their home states. The items were found to be harmless.
Paul Kevin Curtis has been arrested
A MySpace page for a cleaning company called The Cleaning Crew confirms that they do windows and has profile photo of Kevin Curtis, Master of Impressions. A YouTube channel under the name of Kevin Curtis has dozens of videos of him performing as different famous musicians, including Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly and Kid Rock.
As far as him being anti-government, Im not going to say that, but he had some issues with some stuff that happened with his cleaning business, the cousin said.
Multiple online posts on various websites under the name Kevin Curtis refer to the conspiracy he claimed to uncover when working at a local hospital from 1998 to 2000.
The author wrote the conspiracy that began when he discovered a refrigerator full of dismembered body parts & organs wrapped in plastic in the morgue of the largest non-metropolitan healthcare organization in the United States of America.
Curtis wrote that he was trying to expose various parties within the government, FBI, police departments for what he believed was a conspiracy to ruin my reputation in the community as well as an ongoing effort to break down the foundation I worked more than 20 years to build in the country music scene.

Young athletes may fare worse than older athletes after sustaining a sports-related concussion, according to recent study findings.
Symptoms associated with concussion in middle- and high-school aged athletes with those in college-age athletes were compared by researchers in the Vanderbilt Sports Concussion Center and no significant differences between the two age groups were found.
The researchers reviewed a database containing information on pre-concussion and post-concussion symptoms in two different age groups: younger (13-16 years old) and older (18-22 years old) in this retrospective study.
"In the evaluation of sports-related concussion, it is imperative to parse out different ways of assessing outcomes: neurocognitive scores versus symptom endorsement versus balance issues, school performance, etc," Zuckerman said.
"It appears that symptoms may not be a prominent driver when assessing outcomes of younger versus older athletes. We hope that our study can add insight into the evaluation of youth athletes after sports-related concussion."
The study, "Does age affect symptom recovery after sports-related concussion? A study of high school and college athletes," was published in the Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics.

As the economy slowly emerges from the depths of the 2008 recession, consumers are incorporating lessons learned from several difficult years into behavioral choices going forward. For example, the recently published 2012 Debit Issuer Study, commissioned by PULSE, found that debit continued to grow in 2011, showing an increase in both the average number of transactions per card and in average debit spend per card over 2010.
Abound Resources is conducting a survey of CEOS, Finance, Operations, IT and Compliance executives designed to identify priorities for the coming year, gather views on key industry issues and then share that information with the industry.
We invite you to take just 3 to 5 minutes to complete the survey, which will close Friday, December 7th.

Rav Berg constructs a blueprint for those of us who are searching for total understanding of the world around us. According to kabbalistic principles, events on the earthly plane manifest as a result of cosmic influence. There are forces that shape human condition and exert their control over our physical universe. In this book, Rav Berg tells how to use these forces such as astrology, time travel, and parallel universes. Biblical narratives are also decoded. Tales and parables of the Torah are symbolic reflections of the inner metaphysical realm through which one can perceive the divine mysteries of the universe. Navigating the Cosmos, offers a bridge between the earthly realm and the celestial realm. Rav Berg shows that the roots of most misfortune can be traced to cosmic danger zones. He offers a precise timetable of celestial conditions so we can approach positive energy intelligences of the universe and tap their power. Armed with this information, we can transcend the realm of chance, luck and indetemination. We're keyed into specific dates to use when undertaking a new venture such as opening a business, getting married, moving into a new home. Kabbalah can guide us through illusion to the all embracing reality that the most fundamental natural laws date back to the heavens and its origins.

No Finish Line In sight For Pennsylvania Statewide Public Safety Radio
Three miles up a narrow gravel road in central Pennsylvania, a fenced-in radio tower atop a mountain represents a critical link in a $240 million public safety communications network the state began work on eight years ago.
``We have no intention of migrating to voice until we're sure those issues that are out there are addressed,'' Waugh said.
The state police also are implementing a $134 million incident information management system, a separate project that transmits over the statewide radio system.
A single statewide radio system was conceived as something that would primarily serve government agencies, but after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, it became more of a priority to allow local emergency responders to hook in, a process called ``interoperability.''
It will be relatively easy to accomplish that in about half of the state's 67 counties. But in more remote areas, and where the existing radio systems are more primitive, switching over will require more funding, said radio project director Don Appleby, in the state's Office of Administration.
Even then, the radio signal won't be strong enough to reach hand-held portable radios commonly used by police officers and firefighters. That level of service requires either signal repeaters _ the state police are installing them inside vehicles _ or more towers.
Lancaster County, one of two Pennsylvania counties to purchase an OpenSky system for 911 use, is spending $35 million on a network of 17 new towers. It isn't expected to be functioning until at least 2006.
The iXP review is looking at the interoperability issue as well as barriers to getting state agencies to fully adopt the radio system. The agencies will need to spend about $54 million to buy radios _ money not included in the $240 million.
``It turns out that agencies haven't been able to support (it) as much as they would like and we would like,'' Appleby said. ``Without going into all the details, this office has been tasked with stepping up to support transition to help agencies make the move.''
A Harrisburg lobbyist for Motorola Inc., which lost the contract to M/A-Com, said he doubts OpenSky will ever work as it is supposed to.
``I defy you to go to any agency and have the two of them talk to each other,'' said the lobbyist, John O'Connell. ``They can't do it. This does not work. It's three years late, it's $200 million over budget and it does not work.''
The iXP report is due in August.
