Futures Levitate To Fresh Record Highs On Just Right Mix Of Bad NewsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/21/2014 - 07:17
With the FOMC Minutes in the books, the only remaining major event for the week is the Jackson Hole conference, where Yellen is now expected to talk back any Hawkish aftertaste left from the Minutes, and which starts today but no speeches are due until tomorrow. And while the Minutes were generally seen as hawkish, stocks continue to levitate, blissfully oblivious what tighter monetary conditions would mean to an asset bubble, which according to many, is now the biggest in history. And speaking of equities, US futures climbed to a fresh record high overnight on just the right mix of bad news.

It's Official: "We Are All Terrorists Now"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2014 - 23:15
On the heels of the gruesome and disgraceful ISIS clip of the beheading of American journalist James Foley, The UK's Scotland Yard, according to The Guardian, warned the public that viewing, downloading or disseminating the video within the UK might constitute a criminal offence under terrorism legislation. In other words - 'if you watch terrorism, you're also a terrorist'.

Ferguson Tonight: Thunder Storms, Peaceful Protests, "Go Kill ISIS And Leave Us Alone" - Live FeedSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2014 - 23:02
One glimpse at the ominous clouds approaching Ferguson this evening was enough to suggest the end of the world was approaching but for now peacfeul protesters are once again walking (not allowed to stand) chanting "No Justice, No Peace" amidd dramatic lightning storms. The weather, for now, appears to have subdued the crowds but one protesters banner proclaiming "Go kill ISIS and leave us alone" caught our eye. Police presence is evident but not forceful for now as protesters proclaim "We want justice, here's your peace" suggesting tensions are de-escalating.

Car Repos Soar 70% As Auto Subprime Bubble Pops; "It's Contained" Promises FedSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2014 - 23:00
The auto loan subprime bubble may be the latest to burst (after student loans) as the rate of car repossessions jumped 70.2 percent in the second quarter, with much of that increase coming from finance companies not run by automakers, banks or credit unions. "The number of delinquencies and repossessions rising is what we would expect as the auto industry sells more vehicles," "But this slight uptick is one to keep an eye on." The surge in delinquencies and repossessions is being driven primarily by borrowers with subprime and deep subprime credit scores.

Goldman Warns Additional Chinese Stimulus Risks Global Financial StabilitySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2014 - 22:49
The soft July data have once again generated expectations of monetary easing from China. Goldman however thinks further monetary easing would have incrementally less of an impact and would come at the cost of financial stability. This diminishing impact, they argue, would result as overcapacity/oversupply restricts long-term borrowing demand and due to interest rate deregulation, which tends to move the long-term risk-free interest rate to a higher equilibrium, as seen in recent data. As the tradable sector continues to recover on the back of an improved global outlook, Goldman believes that a combination of sectoral policies aimed at easing financial stress and structural adjustment would be a better policy option. They do not expect broad macro easing or an interest rate cut in what remains of this year.

Ferguson Cop Points Gun At Protesters And Press, Screams "I Will F***ing Kill You", Has Been "Relocated"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2014 - 22:44
In the aftermath of recent violent events and now that even the US Attorney General has arrived, one would assume that the Ferguson police had at least some "sensitivity" training about how to approach protesters, especially those "armed" with cameras. Not in this case. The footage below out of Ferguson shows a police officer pointing his gun directly at protesters and reporters while screaming "I'm going to f***ing kill you!"

"The Financial System Is Vulnerable," NYFed Asks "Could The Dollar Lose Its Reserve Status?"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2014 - 22:17
When a tin-foil-hat-wearing blog full of digital dickweeds suggest the dollar's reserve currency status is at best diminishing, it is fobbed off as yet another conspiracy theory (yet to be proved conspiracy fact) too horrible to imagine for the status quo huggers. But when the VP of Research at the New York Fed asks "Could the dollar lose its status as the key international currency for international trade and international financial transactions," and further is unable to say why not, it is perhaps worth considering the principal contributing factors she warns of.

Despite Collapsing Economy, Japanese PMI Surges To 5-Month High; China PMI Tumbles, Misses By Most On RecordSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2014 - 21:57
Following New Zealand's biggest monthly plunge in consumer confidence in over 2 years, Japan's Manufacturing PMI surged to its highest since March at 52.5 (handily beating expectations of 51.5). Almost the entire suite of subindices were positive except JPY weakness-inspired margin compression as output prices tumbled and input prices surged. All of this in the face of collapsing and disappointing hard data. Meanwhile, China Manufacturing PMI plunged to 51.5, missing by the most on record, as China's apparent 'hard' data shows improvement. Perhaps it is time to recalibrate the seasonal magic in these PMIs...

China Push For Gold Pricing Power Continues, Grant 3 New Import LicencesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2014 - 21:30
Three more banks have been permitted to import gold to China, as IBTimes notes, the country redoubles its efforts to attain pricing power of the commodity. The move, which brings the number of firms allowed to import gold into China to 15, comes ahead of the SGE launching its Yuan settled bullion exchange, in hopes of replacing the now discredited London Fix and become a price-discovery center. Shanghai Pudong Development Bank and China Merchants Bank were joined by Standard Chartered - only the 3rd foreign bank to be allowed to import gold into China as the nation continues to increase the pace of liberalisation of the gold market following the approval last year of the country's first gold-backed WTFs.

St.Louis PD Release 'Suicide-By-Cop' Shooting ClipSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2014 - 21:01
As we noted previously, just days after the fatal shooting of Mike Brown in Ferguson, a 2nd officer-involved shooting ended in death for the suspect just miles from Ferguson. St.Louis Police Department - in the interests of transparency - have released video of both the alleged shoplifting and the so-called 'suicide-by-cop' shooting itself of 25-year-old Kajieme Powell.."Powell approached the officers when they arrived, yelling at them to shoot him already. When he ignored commands to drop the knife, the two officers fired a total of 12 shots."

Half Of All Americans Live With Someone Dependent On Government BenefitsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2014 - 20:45
More Americans than ever before are tapping government benefits. As WSJ reports, nearly half of Americans, 49.5%, lived in a household where at least one person was receiving some type of government benefit. Over the last few years, the number has mostly risen from more people turning to programs designed to help the poor, such as food stamps, Medicaid (the health-insurance program for the poor and disabled) and the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, commonly known as welfare. Welcome to Cloward-Piven's socialist America... or as some might say "Mission Accomplished."

50 Years Of Political Polarization In One ChartSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2014 - 20:14
King County, Texas has seen the biggest shift in political preferences of all US counties since 1960 according to WaPo; but as io9's Mark Strauss notes reveal that during the last two decades, this is not unusual - an increasing number of Americans have chosen to veer Right or Left in their political orientation - with almost no center ground. That trend becomes especially apparent when looking at U.S. election results, county-by-county, since 1960.

Jackson Hole: 'Tremendous' Downside Risks If Yellen Doesn't Go Full-DovishSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2014 - 19:25
The consensus expectation is overwhelming that Fed Chair Yellen will deliver a dovish message at Jackson Hole. Macro investors have largely eliminated their short Treasury position and look to be long risk, particularly via equities and EM. FX positioning is long USD and long EM, the long USD largely because the euro zone economy is slipping again and the ECB is hinting at further ease. Our question is whether Yellen can be more dovish than what is now priced in, not whether she will be dovish on the Richter scale of dovishness. Full dovish, semi-dovish, or contingent dovish.

US Attempted To Rescue James Foley, Other ISIS Hostages, Failed Because "Hostages Were Not Present"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2014 - 18:52
If there was one thing the Obama administration did not need as it is careening from one international crisis to another, was compounding comparisons to the Carter administration and its botched attempt to rescue US hostages in 1980 Iran also known as Operation Eagle Claw. Well, as of moments ago, that comparison is now in play following what the Pentagon just revealed was a botched attempt to recue a number of American hostages held by ISIS, "early this summer." The reason why the mission failed: "tho hostages were not there." Why? "We don't know. And that's the truth. When we got there, they weren't there. We don't know why that is." At least we tried to rescue some folks.

So… I figure I might as well get this out there. Especially now that I've finally got a post up.
While this has been much fun, I've decided to move on… and join the guys over at True Blue Jazz… a greater blog than this one, though (sorry to all of them over there) the names don't even compare. JazzMat wins, running away.
But, as I said, that blog is just a bit better than this one (understatement of the year?), and makes it easier on me. No more having to scrounge for recaps when I haven't seen the game… I can leave that to others. Eventually, I'll be looking ahead to the off-season (yes, before the season is over), but for now… here's my first post, looking at the backup PG conundrum.
Thanks to all the visitors I've had here… hope to see you all over there. Because, as they say… the grass is always greener on the other side. (Though what if the other side is a lake? Then what?)

Very Late Weekend 'Recap' Leave a comment
A note to the Jazz team that we saw this weekend…
That's it… no reason to talk about the craptastic 3-game stretch we had to put up with.
Jazz, Hawks & Physicality 3 comments
my inner "Jazz are weak" side Steve Luhm…
Watching the Jazz's 100-93 loss at Atlanta on television, I once again had to laugh about their reputation as a physical team, which always seems to be discussed when opposing players and coaches are asked about Utah.
When he played, coach Jerry Sloan was tougher than a cheap steak.
When he played, Karl Malone was as physical and intimidating as any player in league history.
When he played, John Stockton was a tough and physical as possible for a 175-pound point guard.
Those days are long gone, however, and this team is not physical or intimidating. In fact, the Jazz's lack of physical toughness is the one thing they lack that other top-tier teams possess.
As Luhm brought up…
— With 9:47 left in the second quarter, Zaza Pachulia drove to the basket and, while attempting to create some space for a layup, he hit Paul Millsap square in the face with an elbow.
– With 6:05 left in the third quarter, Deron Williams drove to the basket and had his layup blocked by Al Horford, who kicked his leg out on the play and hit Williams in the sternum with a karate-like shot.
– At the end of the third quarter, Ronnie Brewer beat the clock with a layup. Atlanta's Josh Smith was trailing the play but caught up with Brewer as he released the shot. Smith ran through Brewer and landed on top of him as time expired. Brewer crashed to the floor and cut his lip.
Yeah… 'physical' doesn't begin to describe the Jazz.
The Jazz are off again tonight, before looking to start a new winning streak with a back-to-back in Miami (tomorrow) and Orlando (Sunday).
Deron Named Player Of The Week Leave a comment
Though it's not the Player of the Month he deserved last month, Deron did get Player of the Week honors for the past week for the Western Conference. He averaged 25.3 ppg and 11.3 apg in the 3 games, and came up huge at the end of all 3 games in leading the Jazz to wins.

Jazz Get Past Raptors With Huge 4th Leave a comment
Yet again, the Jazz had a really bad quarter. This time, they changed things up though, playing solidly in the first before sucking it up in the 2nd. I guess that happens when you turn to your bench and bring in a line-up of Flop, Harding & Knight. Flop has to be the worst player in the league, or right up there. And that's counting all 2nd-round rookies this year, and all NBDLers that have been called up and even Jason Hart. Harding has been sucking it up for the past couple of games, and that continued. Brevin brings a veteran presence that the team probably needs. He also brings a terrible jumper, overconfidence on his own jumper, the innate ability to cause the offense to stall immediately, and more. Combine the 3 of them with AK (who loves to drive into the post all wild-like and then dish off to Flop) and Korver, and you're going to have a hell of a time. In a bad way. By the way… passing to Flop should be an offense punished by immediate benching. Luckily for the Jazz, AK & KK carried the Jazz bench, scoring all 38 of the bench points. The rest of the bench (aka the other 3 guys already mentioned) went 0-5 with 3 assists, 1 TO, 4 fouls and 0 points.
Fortunately for the Jazz, Deron, Okur & 'Sap (getting another start for the Injury Magnet) played well, overcoming off nights from CJ & Brewer, and teaming with AK & KK to lead the Jazz. Deron had 25 & 9, taking over late yet again. Okur couldn't drain a trey, but went 9-17 for 19 & 11. 'Sap finished with 18 & 11. Brewer had only 4 points on 6 shots (though he did throw in 5 assists), and CJ had 5 on 5. Truthfully, the game was ugly throughout, before the Jazz finally woke up late. They outscored the Raptors 28-14 in the last quarter, largely due to playing D and having the Raptors miss their jumpers. It ended up being enough, as the Jazz got a road win, something that we'll take no matter who we're playing.
Meanwhile, for the Raptors… Chris Bosh had 30 points & 10 boards (before choking?). Jose Calderon had 10 & 11, Anthony Parker had 16 & 11, Bargnani had 20 and 8, and The Matrix was held to 8 & 8. By the way, the caption to the picture is kinda telling for the Raptors. As are the polling results on the home page.
Here's how the Jazz extended their streak to 11 games.
I'm not a big fan of the bench, outside of the top 3 (top 2 if the Injury Magnet turns on). Well, I like The Koof, but he gets less time on the court than the guys making mid-court shots for money. And Fesenko & Almond, but they're both in the D-League right now. That leaves the top 3, the next 3 (mentioned above), and Ronnie Price. If this team is really dependent on anyone behind the top 3 for production (which they are, especially with Injury Magnet out), they're in trouble. If the Brev Brev/Price duo has to play more than 5 minutes (well, just Brev Brev because J-Slow all of a sudden hates Ronnie Price), they're in trouble. If Flop hits the court, they're in trouble (and my TV is off if the game is on, but that is irrelevant). If Harding gets called on in any game that isn't against the Spurs/Nuggets/etc., they're screwed. I know this is true for most teams beyond the first couple of guys, but given the way injuries are hitting, the Jazz have to be prepared. Turning to Flop & Harding does not equal prepared. If you enter a playoff series against the Lakers/Spurs, and put Flop on the court, you will be laughed out of the building. And eventually run out of it as well.
This whole spiel is probably irrelevant now, given that the big FAs (like Drew Gooden and Joe Smith and Mikki Moore, etc.) have all signed, and the deadline to add players that can play in the playoffs (or something like that) has passed, but still… how the team can leave Flop on the roster and not go try to get someone that can help is beyond me. Hopefully it doesn't come back to bite us in the backside…
That said, the Jazz won. Guess we might as well enjoy that. The last 5-game-Eastern-Conference-road-swing is underway, and the Jazz have a 1-0 start. Things could definitely have been a lot worse… and it seemed like they would be until 12 PM MST, when they finally woke up (they = Deron, it seems). Up next… the Pacers.
Dear Booze… Leave a comment
Please return. Now!
The more time you miss, the more we have to see of Flop (until J-Slow wakes up, which sadly will probably be never). And as he proved today, he sucks.
Fesenko, Almond Down Leave a comment
After letting them sit behind the bench for eons, the Jazz have finally sent Mo Nuts & Fesenko down to the D-League.
I guess they knew Booze might miss some games, because otherwise The Koof would probably benefit the most from getting some extra time. Almond isn't a D-Leaguer… he should be up in the NBA. Unfortunately for him, the Jazz developed a solid SG right after drafting him, making it a lot harder for him to get time. As for Fesenko… he does fine down there. He just doesn't get time up here to prove anything (due to J-Slow's man-crush on a guy who isn't deserving), but yeah… I guess it's better than sitting behind the bench in a suit.
A Tale Of Two Halves Leave a comment
The over-used cliche really describes the Jazz/Nuggets game well. The Jazz played like crap in the first half… falling behind by 19 at one point (before cutting the lead to 10 at the break). 'Sap had only taken 1 shot. Booze started 2-3 for 4 quick points, and then missed his next 4 shots. Okur struggled. Deron struggled. Brewer was just 1-4. The bench had contributed a total of 4 points. CJ was his crappy version. They were settling for jumpers, and missing. The first half can be described in 2 words…
And then the team came onto the court revitalized. For all the crying by the Nuggets, what the Jazz did was simple… they started attacking the hoop. And in this league that we call the NBA, that'll draw a lot more fouls than shooting jump-shots will. The Jazz attacked early and often. They found the FT line very comforting, and before you knew it, the Jazz were back in the game. And it stayed close until Dahntay Jones decided to piss off Deron. And then it was on. Two treys by CJ to end the 3rd started the run, and the Jazz were up by around 10 until the end of the game. Everyone knows that you don't upset the Ninja (credit Shums for the Ninja comments). Anyhow, Brewer & Deron took over and more or less carried the Jazz despite off nights for both Booze & Okur.
The hero = Deron. Duh!
The win runs the streak to 10 games, and has brought the Jazz (after last night's games) to with 0.5 games of first place in the Northwest.
The next game is currently on-going (in the 2nd half) in Toronto. I'm sorry, but early starts are a pain. Especially early starts the same day that we lose an hour. That said, J-Slow needs to know his rotations better, even with Booze out. Some guys should not be seeing the court at all, other guys need to be playing more. And if someone is playing well, let him keep playing. Screw your "I need to take him out after 6 minutes" rotation.
Health = Overrated Leave a comment
Well, there is an early game today (starting about now) in Toronto.
And the Jazz will be without… you guessed it. Booze, who suffered a sprained ankle in the Nuggets game. 'Sap will get the start.

Not schadenfreude at all...
by snolan, Thu Jun 25, 2009 at 06:46:55 AM EDT
Some have suggested that the recent discovery that both South Carolina Republican Governor Mark Sanford and Nevada Republican Senator John Ensign were having extra-marital affairs would be schadenfreude (joy at the suffering of others), and I have to disagree. Likewise, the exposure of New York Democratic Governor Elliot Spitzer's visits with prostitutes is no cause for schadenfreude either.
There is no joy in the broken hearts and damaged relationships. No joy in the dishonesty, the deceit, the contempt, the lack of respect for their partners and voters. No joy in the hypocrisy that both of these Republicans pilloried then Democratic President Bill Clinton when he was caught having an affair in the 1990s, and now both have participated in the very same activity that they themselves claimed was reprehensible and grounds for impeachment.

(WMC-TV) - Almost two dozen Ole Miss students returned home from spring break not with a suntan, but with a criminal record instead.
Thirty-two students were arrested at a massive house party last week in Walton County, Florida.
Ole Miss officials confirm 23 of those students are enrolled at the University of Mississippi.
"They're a great school, but you know college students in all, they party, that's what they love to do, especially freshmen," said Ashley Norwood, who will be at the school next fall.
Norwood is not 21 and said minors should have known that officers at spring break destinations are cracking down on underage drinking.
"They should have known when they went down that police are looking for that stuff," she said.
But it was not just Ole Miss.
A public information officer for the sheriff's office could not confirm which schools the other students were from.
Parents were not surprised to hear of a destructive house party on a week that lives in infamy among college campuses.
"It's just college, there's nothing you can really say about it," said Johnathan Gaines.
Ole Miss officials said that the majority were not from north Mississippi or the Memphis area. The university did not have any other comment on the arrests.
Some parents said better decisions come with age.
"At least one spring break during college they want to go down there and live it up for a week," said Kathy Salmon.
As the university did not have a comment on the arrests, it is unclear whether the students will face any disciplinary action since they were arrested out of state.

Eventually, I may build a tombstone for it to go inside.
The first thing I did was come up with the design for the eyes and eyelids on a word processing program (I converted it to .png) and then cut out a piece of mdf to hold the eye and the servos. I ended up having to cut out another piece of MDF to get the eyes closer to the inside of the mask.
Step 1:
A few more dowels are glued into the back of the ping pong balls so the eyes can move left and right. Two large paper clips were straightened out to assist with connecting the dowels to the servo.
Before I attached the eyes to the board, I attached "U" brackets which the eyelids are connected to the mdf. A few more large paper clips were used as connectors between the eyelids and the servo. At first I used hot glue to attach the eye lid servo to the mdf, but I decided to make it more secure and used vertical servo mounts.
A small square piece of wood sits just in between the "U" brackets and a pop sickle stick is attached to the little piece of wood to keep the eyes from rolling back, but still allowing the eyes to move.
reminds me of Meshuggah - Shed... you should totally make a weird video or horror/sci-fi trailer with these!
Great questions. The tombstone itself was carved using a CNC machine. I worked with woodloom.com as the price was very reasonable.
The headdress I will using a mix of foam and muslin fabric. The fabric will be coated with monstermud (a mix of joint compound and latex paint). The foam I will be carving using a hot knife. The face itself you should be able to find at Halloween stores as they should have plenty this time of year or you can find them online (which might be cheaper).
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need clarification on anything.
Thank you.
I do have two more questions if I may. I was wondering what you will be using for a stencil ( if any) for the epitaph and fleur de lis? I was also wondering what you will be using to adhear the final mold of the headress to the tombstone; being it will be Styrofoam. Thank you so much!!
Would love to see an Instructable on this :D
I forgot to explain that with his one, the whole skull rotated to follow you across the room, but I'm fairly confident you could make it work with just the eyes.
Or have the eyes follow you first and the head move more slowly until it is facing you again...
Although, if the whole skull followed and not just the eyes, that would be a new twist in using animated skulls.
Sounds like it might be interesting to get another Lindberg skull and give this a go.
Thank you.
Let me know if I can help with the skulls. I've built a number of them in the past.
Thank you.

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) wants its members to believe that their union is just like the alluring but ultimately nightmarish hostelry immortalized by The Eagles. It's a place of permanent imprisonment only "programmed to receive" workers and their dues money, not let either go elsewhere when the rhetoric of "progressive unionism" wears thin and the rank-and-file becomes restive. According to proprietor Andy Stern, once you've checked into SEIU, you can never leave.
Tens of thousands of Stern's disgruntled "guests," who work in west coast health care facilities, are about to disprove this claim. Their bags are packed and they're headed out the door of Stern's "Hotel California," as soon as federal (or local) labor law permits. After a bruising internal battle—in which an estimated ten million dollars of their own money was used by Stern to undermine and attack them—rank-and-filers in Oakland-based United Healthcare Workers (UHW) have formed a new union of their own. Launched on January 28, the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW) is seeking to retain bargaining rights long held by UHW, until Stern placed it under trusteeship the day before.
Workers made a collective decision to flee SEIU after the long-threatened take-over of its third-largest affiliate. As previously reported in CounterPunch, Stern began brandishing this club last March. When UHW had the audacity to question SEIU's management-friendly approach to health care organizing, bargaining, and politics, the SEIU president launched a multi-faceted counter-insurgency campaign. Now, several hundred out-of-state SEIU staffers have been dispatched to
Not surprisingly, UHW hospital, nursing home, and home care workers aren't waiting around that long. As Kaiser Permanente receptionist Eleanor Mendoza explained to The Los Angeles Times last Tuesday, "We knew [trusteeship] was coming, and now we have to get real and decertify." According to
Over the past two years, UHW members made a valiant effort to change the way SEIU is run, using tactics borrowed from Teamsters for a Democratic Union (TDU) and other reform groups. Their fight took a new turn Jan. 25 when key UHW activists gathered at five
At their extraordinary mass meetings on January 25, five thousand UHW shop stewards showed what really creates union power—collective action by an energized rank-and-file. They voted nearly unanimously to reject Stern's coercive demands. All three UHW constituencies—hospital workers, nursing home employees, and home health care aides—vowed to remain united in UHW, which has negotiated good contracts by relying on rank-and-file participation and workplace mobilization. (Their preferred organizational unity between "acute care" and "long-term care" members is, in fact, the usual configuration of SEIU health care locals around the country.)
On January 26, UHW's popular president Sal Rosselli made a last bid for reconciliation. He called a press conference and offered a counter-proposal: UHW's 65,000 at-risk members should be granted the right to vote on the transfer sought by Stern. Before this balloting was held, however, the workers needed guarantees that Stern's new statewide "long term care" local would be democratically structured and responsive to its projected 240,000 members. The predecessor for this yet-to-be-formed "mega-local"–SEIU Local 6434 in
Rosselli ended his last press briefing as an elected SEIU official with a carefully worded statement declaring that UHW members would resist trusteeship by all means, up to and including SEIU decertification. Using that particular "D" word always sends a shiver through any union bureaucracy lacking political legitimacy and a real workplace base. Despite the trend in SEIU and other American unions toward less (rather than more) internal democracy, replacing an incumbent union—no matter how bad–is often viewed as a strategic dead-end or a dangerous exercise in "disunity." Yet, forming a rival union (or joining a competing labor federation) is widely accepted elsewhere in the world as a fundamental expression of workers' "freedom of association." As I learned while working with CWA members in
UHW's defection will nevertheless upset labor-oriented academics, liberal magazine editors, and Huffington Post bloggers. Some of these folks, like American Prospect's Harold Meyerson, remain so enthralled with Stern that they'll excuse any organizational mis-conduct by SEIU; in a February 1 commentary, Meyerson praises Stern's ability "to establish a rapport with non-union liberals and intellectuals" (like himself) and dismisses Rosselli's challenge as an opportunistic attempt to "play the democracy card." For Stern boosters, the pink champagne will always will be on ice– as long they keep praising their benefactor or, at the very least, don't sign any "open letters" in The New York Times criticizing SEIU trusteeships. But if trade unionists and intellectuals, who favor the Employee Free Choice Act to aid union organizing, really believe in "employee free choice," how can they argue that dissatisfied dues-payers shouldn't use the option of joining a new labor organization? Particularly if their existing one won't even let them choose their own local union or its leaders?
The path UHW activists have chosen now is not easy, due to the huge amount of resources that SEIU always devotes to keeping unhappy members in captivity, for as long as possible. Nine years ago, SEIU lost a quarter of its total membership in
In 2002-3,
Post-trusteeship litigation also got messy when 2,000 Bay Area janitors tried to bail out of SEIU in the summer of 2004. In response to yet another Stern take-over, they formed United Service Workers for Democracy (USWD) to oust their old bargaining representative, SEIU Local 87, and win the right to negotiate with
In several other places, including SEIU nurses' Local 1991 in Miami, the collection and brandishing of "decert cards" has been used by local leaders as a key bargaining chip, to forestall further Stern trusteeship threats or forced merger attempts for an agree-upon period of time (a deal similar to the written agreement that facilitated USWD's eventual return to the SEIU fold, much to the chagrin of some janitors). In 2005, the threat of an impending decertification campaign even enabled 2,300 workers at the University of Massachusetts to leave SEIU peacefully for the greener pastures of the state teachers association (but only after a protracted struggle against the unpopular and inept Stern-appointed leader of public employee Local 888).
Can NUHW do what USAW-RI, SEIU's Canadian dissidents, and other groups have already done, albeit on a smaller scale? There are people with years of experience in health care organizing who think that NUHW will fare better than most defectors. One is Jerry Brown, the now retired, longtime president of SEIU's 20,000-member health care affiliate in
According to Brown, "Stern and other SEIU leaders have now centralized all important national bargaining and organizing in D.C. and effectively neutered the power of the members to bargain with their bosses. The result will be and has been already a series of sweetheart contracts that take away or severely limit the right to strike and other traditional union rights like seniority and workplace grievances."
To Brown and other longtime SEIU-builders (most of whom are not free to speak out as he is doing now), the UHW takeover is a painful, "horrible development for SEIU and the entire labor movement." Once Stern's colleague and discreet in-house critic, Brown now says publicly that: "Stern et al are a disgrace and we should mobilize to help the new union and the thousands of courageous UHW members who have stood up to SEIU."
Supporters of "employee free choice," inside and outside of SEIU, are already responding to Brown's appeal by sending checks made out to "Fund for Union Democracy" to: The Fund For Union Democracy,

The Seahawks and Rams are facing off in Week 11 in a very NFC West matchup. Seattle enters the game at 3-6, but coming off a big win against AFC East contender Baltimore. The Rams (2-7) coming off a less-big win against the Browns. Let's look at the expert picks to see who has the advantage going into is game.
Sports Illustrated's Peter King pretty simply likes Seattle to win because he does not like the Rams to win. He picked the Seahawks, 16-13.
I long for the days when Sam Bradford will have a receiving corps. Those days are not now.
The ESPN.com expert panel predictions are leaning toward the Seahawks, too. Five out of the eight experts picked Seattle. The CBSSports.com crew is actually leaning toward the Rams, who play at home. Four out of five experts like the St. Louis.
For more on Sunday's game, check out Turf Show Times, SB Nation's St. Louis Rams blog, and Field Gulls, SB Nation's Seattle Seahawks blog.

Chris Matthews: 'People That Talk About Blood Libel and Bull's Eyes Shouldn't be President'
Chris Matthews on Wednesday said that as a result of her use of terms like "blood libel" and "bull's eyes," Sarah Palin "shouldn't be President of the United States."
Such happened after Matthews spent much of the first half of his "Hardball" program excoriating the former Alaska governor for her videotaped response to the tragic shootings in Tucson Saturday (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Well, people that talk about blood libel and themselves being victims to it and they talk about bull's eyes shouldn't be President of the United States. And people seriously shouldn't be thinking about it.
This came at the end of a lengthy segment wherein Matthews, along with ultra-liberals Ron Reagan and Media Matters' David Brock, trashed Palin for her comments.
The program began with an even longer segment featuring Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post and NBC's Chuck Todd assisting the "Hardball" host with the Palin bashing.
Readers are once again reminded that Matthews believes his program is "absolutely nonpartisan."

who recognize a clear hypocrisy in what Mathews is saying. Why is it that no one in the MSM or non-Fox cable news -- and I mean NO ONE -- can see the same thing we're seeing? Says a lot, doesn't it?

Alan Dershowitz disagrees with Chrissy Mat-Choose
Submitted by Conservator on Thu, 01/13/2011 - 3:26pm.
"...Liberal Harvard University law professor Alan Dershowitz told the blog biggovernment.com that blood libel has taken on "broad metaphorical meaning" and said there was "nothing improper and certainly nothing anti-Semitic in Sarah Palin using the term to characterize what she reasonably believes are false accusations..."
Sarah Palin's effort to defuse controversy backfires with 'blood libel' comment - Thursday, January 13, 2011
More relevant, is the hate speech Chrissy uses to attack Rep. Michele Bachmann, such as being a Zombie in some Boris Karloff movie, violent or extreme? What if one of your derange viewers shot Rep. Bachmann based on two years of you spewing outrageous personal attacks on her intelligence and her right to be a member of Congress - eh Chrissy?

We have elections for people to decide who should and should not be President.
Remember how unhappy you were to hear the Swiftboat Vets opinions on whether Kerry should be president?
The way I see it, Palin is "swiftboating" the Dems, that is 1) stubbornly contending she didn't do what she was accused of, and 2) making the case that it's a character flaw to have accused her of something that heinous, and trying to buld a political career out of it.

Liberal Protestations

It doesn't matter what Palin says, and it doesn't matter when she says it. The liberosocialists will attack her on any peripheral grounds they can find.
Palin must be attacked on issues like her map, because liberals cannot compete with the real, Conservative policy issues.
Hannity, Beck, Rush (on the 'net) and others should repeatedly end their shows with a shot of the democrat map where they "target" their "enemies" by state.
hmmm... did I just say "shot" ? Please... I beg your forgiveness.

So all impacts studied turned out to be "less than significant", just as Inks had predicted. We could have saved $10k by listening to common sense (or Inks or Means).
Given that there's no clear impact, why is this even being discussed further?
Time to vote out this entire council except Inks and Means and try to finally get some common sense in Mountain View!
on Jul 31, 2012 at 2:18 pm
I vote YES on the ban - big time! It is a piece of cake to keep extra bags in car trunks or small fold-able bags in purses. Sunnyvale is already doing this and it was wonderful to see it in action. Go, go City Council.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Ask any drugstore beauty queen what her favorite budget-friendly mascara is and the answer will reliably come back the same: Maybelline Great Lash. Known for its dark glossy formula, the industry-standard lash lacquer has made its way into makeup bags across the country since debuting four decades ago, becoming a fixture on vanities and movie lots alike (Mad Men makeup department head Lana Horochowski doesn't go to work without it). Last year, Maybelline tackled the style set as well, sponsoring New York's Fall 2010 shows at Bryant Park. To celebrate its 40th birthday, designers are returning the favor. This weekend will see the release of three limited-edition Great Lash tubes conceived by Max Azria, Tracy Reese, and Vivienne Tam. Exclusively available at Target, each mascara has a hand-scrawled signature as well as a singular black design element that adorns its classic hot pink facade. Click here to pre-order these collector's items and get them while the getting's good.
Personally I don't like this mascara – it's for people who only like one coat of mascara – because it smears, runs and does not wear well.

Pretriangulated dg-categories are models for stable (∞,1)-categories in terms of dg-categories, much like simplicial categories are models for (∞,1)-categories (see (Cohn 13)).
The zeroth cohomology category of a pretriangulated dg-category is an ordinary triangulated category, hence a morphism from where is a pretriangulated dg-category and a triangulated category is called an enhanced triangulated categories.
Let be a DG category.

So, Emmanuel Pacquaio is on the verge of possibly taking his political career to the next level. I'm not saying that he'll succeed, just that he's definitely giving it a go.
What does that mean for the people of a country who've been through many tough times, but seem to be on the upswing nowadays. If he parlays his cult of personality into higher political office, what can the people expect?
There's an interesting article on Bloomberg.com and here's the link:

nobody has thought of this, but were all here blaming Arum for the fight not happening, and Manny is easily smart enough to know that if he stays with Arum the Mayweather fight will always be out of his reach, so he stays with Arum, Arum soaks up all the hate and Manny is looking nice and innocent, an elaborate way to duck Mayweather and a pretty smart way too. While where all made to believe that it's all Arums fault, the oldest trick in the book (playing dumb) seems to of worked a treat.

Dealership Sales Pitch
I am hoping to validate some of the pitches used at the local dealer. Looking to purchase a 2013 28i with the manual tranny.
Dealer said that with the M-Sport and Sport package you get a shorter throw shift lever. He kept referring to a short throw, but then he would switch to the shift lever is shorter. Fact or fiction?
There is no significant difference in the standard audio and the premium audio for the average listener. If you are an audiophile you will clearly hear a difference. Fact of fiction?
You have to pay for the car when you order it. I thought I had to put down a deposit and then when the car comes in I pay the remainder.
Do folks with the manual and navigation have challenges with accidentally hitting the idrive with their forearm?
Finally, does anyone have a picture or can point me in the right direction to pictures of the stock front/rear vs the aerodynamic kit that comes in the M-Sport.
Thanks in advance.

It has been a tough offseason for the Oklahoma Sooners and it got even tougher on Friday when Stacy McGee was suspended indefinitely. The defensive tackle violated university policy, not team policy, and will be out until head coach Bob Stoops and the university say otherwise.
Four players were suspended indefinitely earlier this summer for a violation of team rules and later on, one of those four (Kameel Jackson) was dismissed from the team. Now McGee makes it five Sooners to be suspended this offseason.
McGee was expected to start at tackle this season and take on more responsibility up front as a senior. Last year, McGee had 22 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.
Now that McGee is out, David King will have to move from defensive end to defensive tackle. McGee's absence, as well as the slew of problems that Oklahoma has had this offseason will certainly raise some questions about a team that is ranked in the top five in the preseason polls.

JU men out of MAAC tournament
A quirky set of circumstances knocked the men's lacrosse team out of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference tournament Saturday.
The Dolphins (6-7, 3-3), who only a week ago appeared a shoo-in for the tournament, became the victim of a four-team tie break with Detroit, Canisius and Marist based on circumstances in this Saturday's play.
First, Detroit was upset by VMI 9-8 early in the afternoon which gives the Titans a 3-3 conference record. Later, Canisius knocked off Marist, 7-5, giving both those teams a 3-3 MAAC record and setting up a "mini-conference'' tie break between the four.
Detroit got in having beaten JU, Canisius and Marist in the regular season and will be the second-seed to Siena.
The remaining three teams used goals allowed against each other to determine the final two spots for next weekend's tournament at Marist.
JU gave up 17 goals to Canisius-Marist combined; Canisius gave up 14 goals to JU-Marist and Marist gave up 14 goals to Canisius-JU pushing the Dolphins aside by two goals.

Although the signs and symptoms of a heart attack may vary, knowing what to look out for could be the difference between life and death since time is of the essence.
The Mayo Clinic lists the following as the most common symptoms of a heart attack:
- Chest pressure, tightness or pain
- Abdominal discomfort
- Shortness of breath
- Lightheadedness or dizziness
- Sweating or a cold sweat
- Feeling anxious
- Fatigue
- Difficulty sleeping
- Pain in the left arm
Sometimes, the sensations in the chest can feel like a squeeze or ache that spreads to the neck, jaw and back. There is also some variation the abdominal discomfort reported,which ranges from feeling full, nauseated, and can even mimic indigestion and heartburn.
It is important to note that not all patients who experience heart attacks will feel all the symptoms to an appreciable degree. In fact, in some people, the first sign is sudden cardiac arrest.
If you suspect you or a loved one is suffering heart attack, it's important to act immediately by:
- Calling 911
- Take aspirin, if recommended
- Prepare to administer a shock or CPR
The sooner emergency personnel arrive with an automatic defibrillator device, the greater the chance of survival, so calling 911 is the first priority. If an AED is close by when the crisis occurs, making sure the device is ready to go in case the person loses their pulse will make the most of precious seconds and could save a life.
MORE: Investigators: No charge, no chance
Chewing a 162- or 325-milligram aspirin tablet could reduce damage to the heart by making blood less likely to clot; however, it can also interact with other medications. So, it is best to ask a doctor or ask emergency personnel if it is recommended first.
Veteran University of Minnesota Cardiologist Dr. Dan Garry recommends anyone with a family history of heart disease or heart attack get examined before a crisis develops.
In addition to personal preparation, Garry urges patients to communicate with loved ones about the signs and symptoms that could emerge so that those around them are prepared to act if need be.
Garry added that frigid, cold weather can put additional stress on the heart. In fact, the number of heart attacks tend to rise as temperatures plunge.

The Lewis Center for the Arts' Performance Central series will present legendary Polish theater group Theater of the Eighth Day in a riveting docudrama, The Files, at the Marie and Edward Matthews '53 Acting Studio at Princeton University on February 25 and 26 at 8:00 p.m. All performances will be in English and a talkback session with members of the company will follow each performance. The performances are free and open to the public.
The Files was created from actual surveillance records the secret police kept on the group between 1975 and 1983. Four original company members read aloud from their own recently unsealed security files, tracing the group's transformation from university players to enemies of the regime as they are subject to surveillance, blacklisting, and arrests. Through these files, a remarkable human drama unfolds—not just of life under a communist regime but of the courageous artistry that thrived in spite of such oppression.
Theater of the Eighth Day was founded in 1964 as one of the most original and most significant groups of the very animated student theater movement from which Polish alternative theater arose. The group's independence and its willingness to speak with its own voice about the surrounding world and the individual's existence entangled in this world caused the group to be a target of the communist state apparatus, even though it had never been intended as a political theater of opposition. Kept under surveillance by the secret police, plagued by the local police, and accused of committing common crimes, the theater managed to create some of the most important Polish performances of the 1970s, including In One Breath (1971), We have to Confine Ourselves to What has been Called Paradise on Earth...?! (1975), A Sale for Everyone (1977), and Oh, Have We Lived in Dignity (1979).
In 1985 some members of the group left the country employing a number of subterfuges (among them fake marriages with foreign actors). The members remained "émigré" until 1989, when they returned to Poland at the invitation of the first non-communist Minister of Culture. They are now back in Poznan, one of Poland's growing centers of alternative culture.
"I am thrilled that Princeton audiences will have the opportunity to see the work of this remarkable company," notes Tim Vasen, Director of the Program in Theater. "At a moment when we are wrestling with the role of government surveillance in our lives, The Files offers a powerful perspective. This project is part of an evolving collaboration between the Lewis Center and Poland's Adam Mickiewicz Institute, which we hope will lead to future exchanges between Princeton and one of Europe's most vibrant artistic cultures."
Presentation of The Files is part of the Poland-U.S. Campus Arts Project, a program organized by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute in Warsaw, Poland. Poland's Wielkopolska Region has provided airfare for members of the Theatre of the Eighth Day. The performances, co-sponsored by the Program in European Cultural Studies and the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Princeton with additional support from Princeton's 250th Anniversary Fund for Innovation in Undergraduate Education, are part of a U.S. tour that includes Yale School of Drama.
