Are console companies just as bad United States Mobile Carriers?
It seems like every new generation that the experience is getting worse within the console software and ecosystem. You technically pay for "cheap hardware" but pay premium costs for everything just like being on Verizon.
Here are some of my gripes,
Digital Pre-loading seems to be non existent and limited at best within the new generation. Game prices still averaging at $60 and you're still pretty much forced to deal with the strip mall experience in 2014. You're still forced to pay a yearly fee to play Multiplayer and use applications like Netflix, Crackle, Hulu. It's like paying every month to access apps you use daily on your smartphone that are free to use.
The hardware within the new consoles seem to be still graphically equivalent to low/normal on PC. Games still experience frame rate drops within the the new generation. Why isn't there a premium hardware option for the hardcore enthusiasts to buy a console with the 4770k processor and a 780ti graphics card for $1500?
Also, privacy is not respected at all, you have to appear offline to prevent stalking and getting DDoS'd in game multiplayer, which people will do anyway to you to get a higher rank within "competitive" game modes. On the Xbox One, they implemented "following people" which makes stalking easier. You also can't create different multiplayer aliases for your console account without having pay extra money to make those accounts get access to the network.
What do you guys think?

The Goldfinch
Right now I wish that Goodreads would let me give half stars–it's really a 3.5 kind of novel. Parts of this epic tale by Donna Tartt contain some truly, truly exceptional writing, intuitive observations, and a keen eye for the failings of the human spirit. But parts are bloated, even a little overwritten with a tendency to restate, sometimes within the self-same sentence, a previous observation–and this made me batty.
That said, I loved Tartt's first novel, The Secret History, with abandon. Thoroughly enjoyed her second, The Little Friend, but got lost in the beginning of this book, almost to its detriment. The novel opens with a terrorist bomb blowing up in one of the biggest galleries in New York. Theo, having been suspended with school, is there with his art-loving, advertising-working mother, before a meeting at his school, his deadbeat father having been out of the picture for a while. The plot device-ness of the attack concerned me, but it was necessary in order for Theo to come into possession of the novel's namesake, a Dutch master's painting, "The Goldfinch." And it's within this framework–what happens to him as a result of the painting, where his life goes, what decisions he makes, that form the bulk of the action in the book.
Almost immediately, there's Charles Ryder-esque quality to Theo–he's the centre of the story but not necessarily the most interesting person in the book. Especially when Boris arrives on the scene. He's an incredible character, amazing, actually, who flits in and out of the book at exactly the right moments like he's in a movie. The book is Dickensian in all the right places, and despite its length and heft moves at lightning speed. The only thing I was really missing was a keen and wholly believable emotional core–but, in the end, the heart of the book is one boy's tragedy and the depths that it pulls his life in a direction that can't seem to be reversed. And for that, Tartt had my heart, and that's all you can really ask of a novel, isn't it?

And Then the World Went By…
It's been so long, I don't even know where to start. I just know I need to, start, that is. There's an element to my personality, a constant communicator, I think, with myself, that gets lost when I don't have a moment to catch up, to document, to brave the introspection that comes with what blogging represents in my life. In a way, it's my journal–as it is with many writers, and I have sentences whirling around my head at all times, with nary a place for them to go these days because by the time I wrestle the pen out of my son's hands, find a piece of paper that doesn't have scribbles on it already, and sit down to write, he's climbed up the stairs by the banister or something equally dangerous, and by then the thought is lost anyway.
We spent about a week in Winnipeg visiting friends and it was very nice to get away. There's something truly wonderful about taking a break from your everyday life. Spending time in a place that is not familiar to you. And when you pause, even more ideas come floating into your brain. Yes, we could sell our house completely and move to Winnipeg. Yes, we could make a change that drastic if we really decided we needed to. Yes, wouldn't it be nice to just take a jet plane somewhere so completely away that you honestly get a break?
But what am I saying?
The value of routine for my life is unquestionable. I need the stability. Stemming from living through tragedy in my childhood, that I have a house I have lived in for almost ten years, with no plans to leave, makes me feel strong. Knowing I've been with my RRHB now for almost fifteen years holds something together. I'm not saying the last few years have been easy. They haven't. I'm not saying that we have a perfect union. We don't. But I am entitled to take comfort in the fact that fifteen is a lot of years.
I have seen both of my doctors in the last little while, the SFDD and the kidney doctor, and the disease has been stable now for a year. Our boy is turning three. I got a promotion at work, and my job is very interesting at the moment. We are climbing out of a debt-hole so huge I never thought it would be possible to fill in the dirt/debt, but we're slowly getting somewhere. The thing is–when you make a big list, and when you see your life in the big picture, it's actually a picture, and not just a snapshot, a slippery moment when everything feels overwhelming. Progress isn't always huge leaps and bounds. Things are better than I could imagine them to be–now if only I could control the day-to-day.
That's next.

And, Here We Go Again
I can't believe it's September. And so much has changed this summer–my RRBB has grown into a RRB (rocknroll boy). We have made it through sickness, health, cottage, home, single vacations, family vacations, new jobs, changed old jobs, other jobs, and then some. I'm going to do it point form because I want to track some of the things that happened over the summer but can't write a missive:
1. My RRB had a rough few weeks where he was diagnosed with pneumonia, strep throat and a sinus infection. He was so ill we were at the family doctor three times, and Sick Kids twice. He bounced back after a few weeks but it really knocked the stuffing out of him. The night his fever bounced to 104 had me terrified. He missed two weeks of school, and I missed countless hours of work. There's nothing like a sick child to put your life in perspective. I have never held him so tight. He was so brave at the hospital when they were running tests and putting in I.V.'s. My boy is magic.
2. I started a new job this summer teaching at Ryerson. My course, "Publicity for Book Publishers," meant less time for, well, my life, because it took up most lunches in terms of planning, and then all of Thursday nights until the beginning of August. Here's what I learned about myself. I love the "teaching" part of teaching, the lecturing, the examining issues, the discussions–but I am TERRIBLE at administration. I have always prided myself on being organized, but after handing back assignments and forgetting to write down the grades, I knew I had to pay better attention to the details. Overall, it was an incredibly rewarding experience. My students were smart, the university offers excellent post-grad course work for publishing students, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
3. We spent every moment we could at the cottage. And it was packed with friends, family, visitors, cousins, kids, swimming, chasing, running after the RRB, and generally collapsing into bed at night feeling like we squeezed the most of out the summer. It's my favourite place in the world.
4. I stopped reading. I don't know what it was–a combination of exhaustion from my part-time job, being a mom, and working full-time. A dissatisfaction from anything that I picked up, but I could not finish a book this summer to save my life. I don't know if I ever did actually finish anything that I started over the summer unless it was specifically work related or Laura Lippman's new novel. I might be back on track now. At least I'm managing to get through some words… but who knows. I've never, in my life, not been able to read.
5. My boy has developed a sense of humour. He's taken to walking around the house with various toys in his pants saying, "I've got a surprise for you mommy!" And then cracking up. And then I crack up because he really doesn't understand why it's so funny that he's walking around shouting about surprises in his pants.
6. My garden was a bit of a disaster, yet again. I've now paid a professional to fix it, and it looks much better at the front of our house.
7. I got a promotion at work and the focus of my job is changing. It's exciting, but terrifying.

Just a Thought. Just One.
I keep meaning to create a new post. To say something witty. To purport something wise. And then… silence.
Tricks of the Save
One of the hardest parts about money management, for me, is finding space in what I consider to be an already stretched and stressed situation. We, like many Canadian families, are working hard to get out of debt. It's an ever-constant battle to go from paycheque to paycheque, then try to get ahead on top of that when you've got a small child in daycare, and the added pressure of working hard to keep one parent at home. There simply isn't enough money. And then, because it's so practical, you decide that you need a vacation. The easiest thing would be to jack your credit back up, just say flapjack it, and go… Or not. Coming to terms with having to pay more later would stress me out and end up voiding the whole point of a vacation.
Not this summer, but next, we've been planning a trip to Disney World. We all know the pitfalls, the insanity, the cliches, but my sister-in-law really wants to go, and our two families travel exceptionally well together. Plus, my son adores his cousins, and he'll have way more fun with them there, then if we went on our own, just the three of us. We're planning on spending a couple of days right in the park, and then a couple more on the outskirts, maybe cramming in some other fun spots–hoping not to completely overwhelm the kids along the way.
Florida in the summer might be exhaustive, but it's actually a really good thing for us because it gives us a good year, and then some, to save. If you're like me and find it hard to squeeze additional, "look-ahead," money into your already tight budget, I find I have to trick myself into saving. The number one rule that I have is that we don't touch emergency savings (that I'm just trying to build back up now after some legitimate emergencies).
Trick #1: Use the Chatelaine Example
A few months ago, Chatelaine had a great idea for extra savings–start with $1.00 the first week, and add a dollar for every week of the year. At the most you'll be setting aside in one week is $52.oo, but at the end of a year, it'll compound to over $1000.00. I've been doing this for 14 weeks so far, and it's starting to add up.
Trick #2: Change in the Change Jar
It's the oldest trick in the book–not spending your change (especially loonies and toonies). At the end of the day, empty your pockets into a gigantic jar or piggy bank (sealed, locked, away from prying hands), and it's out of sight/out of mind. Check in every once in a while to roll it up and stash it in the bank in a super-hard-to-get-at bank account, and consider this your spending money.
Trick #3: Right off the Top
The easiest advice is to tuck the money away before you even spend it. The day your paycheque drops into your account, set up an automatic withdrawal, and shorten your budget by the amount. If you can only afford a few dollars, start with a few dollars. It just means you've got that much longer to go until you have your vacation stash. The reward will come in the form of a super stress-free holiday because you won't actually have to pinch your pennies upon your return home.
Trick #4: Buy Your Tickets Early, Shop for the Bargains, Do Your Research
I know this isn't necessarily related to how to save, but it's more how to spend your money smartly. You'll have more to splurge if you've done your homework (Butter Beer at Harry Potter's theme park is expensive, I hear) and found a deal on airline tickets, hotel stays, and other such necessities. Start early. Make lots of notes. Use the internet to your advantage.
All in all, sometimes it's hard to get started saving. To keep putting it off, to ignore the sage advice to "pay yourself first," to dig a deeper hole because you need time away… But as someone who used to travel now and pay later, and pay, and pay, and pay, I'm much happier knowing that next summer we'll be away with Mickey and his crew, and won't come home to a pile of bills I'll have absolutely no idea how we'll pay.

The New Normal
This picture has been sitting here, awaiting a post, for weeks. That's the pace of my life at the moment–frantic. We were just lamenting this in the office the other day, a co-worker and I, how we missed
[And that's where I started and left this post for a few more weeks.]
The inevitable pace of my life is such that I can't seem to string two consistent thoughts together–they're all in a jumble, each jumping up and down for attention, until my head feels like a pinball machine on speed.
[And here we pause again to get some work done. To have a meeting. To set up some meetings].
The whole point of this post, when I imagined it in my mind, was to talk about the new normal. My RRHB coined this phrase for me–and it's been reverberating ever since. I've been deeply saddened, and having a lot of trouble coping with, the changes in my body/health post-pregnancy + delivery. The bits about the disease have been well worn on these pages, but I kept holding out hope that at some point, my body would rebound. But it hasn't. For all intents and purposes, and this is happy, happy news–the disease is in remission. My bloodwork is stable for the first time in three years. My body is functioning. My body has a new normal. Getting used to living from such a depleted place takes some getting used to. At first, there's the decided lack of energy (my kidneys not making enough red blood cells). Then, there's the bloat and grossness from the meds (baby weight is now just "weight."). There's the rough eating habits that go along with not having enough energy (sugar, terrible, sugar). And this all equates the new normal, and I've come to the conclusion that I'm simply mad at myself. And this anger seems to be seeping into all kinds of parts of my life like a fog.
I like to think of myself as a problem solver. I can take a situation and sort it out. I can deal with just about anything, but lately, maybe I'm not quite sure how to deal with the new normal. Perhaps I have aged a century in a couple of years? Perhaps I really need to focus on the few things that I can control, and suss out some Oprah-esque platitudes, when I feel better, I'll do better (with the diet).
It doesn't help that we're so busy these days that time moves at warp speed. When I'm home, my RRHB is working or running errands. When my RRHB is home, I'm doing the same. We are cramming our lives into the edges, and it's tough–I am not going to lie, I miss lazy Sundays of watching movies (that are not Cars, it's a great film, but I've now seen it 1,000 times), of reading a book in one fell swoop, of taking a long, leisurely walk with my child safely strapped into a stroller (and not complaining about it because, well, he couldn't). My darling boy races along and we race after him. He's charged and amped up, gloriously chatty, and deliciously energetic. This is coupled with readily exhausted, super-tantrum prone, and fiercely guarding his onslaught toward independence. He rode a bike the other day. A bike. He's 2.5 years old. He'll climb anything. Jump off of anything. Run into anything. He could solve our renewable energy sources if there was a way to project him into the power grid. He's beyond amazing but with the new normal, I'll never catch up. I only hope he never notices.
I've got a part-time job these days. I'm teaching publishing (publicity in particular) at Ryerson, and I'm finding that truly inspiring. It's summer hours now, so the Fridays where we're not going to the cottage, I can stay an hour or two later at work and write. I've got 30k words of a new project that's fun. Oh, the places we are going these days. I just wish I could stop raging against the dying of the light in terms of the Wegener's and accept my new normal. But it's not in my nature. I've never met an immovable object I didn't want to move–I've never accepted limitations before. I don't know where to start. I wish I could regenerate like my perennials–have parts of my body pop up unannounced in my garden, and I'll lovingly tend to them. There are ways. I know there are. I just need to figure out how to get there.

Book Review #11 – Lean In
Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead seems to be garnering speed. Of course, Sheryl Sandberg's in a position to spread the gospel of her book as the current COO of the world's biggest social media site, Facebook. Her overarching message, that women need to lean in to their work life instead of falling back, resonates without. In a sense, it doesn't really need to be a whole book–there's a lot of repetition in terms of message–but I'm choosing to celebrate what it is: a manifesto of how feminism hasn't quite achieved the equality women need in the workplace.
Manifesto, defined: a piece of work that urges readers/users/doers to carry out the change they wish to see in the world. In a sense, while 'manifesto' rings perhaps a bit to the left for Sandberg, it's how it reads to me. There's great research in here, both empirical and anecdotal, about how, regardless of the impact of the various waves of feminism over the last fifty years, there is still not equality in the upper levels of the companies that are running the world. How do we change that? Sandberg has very real and actually quite straightforward opinions about how to exact change–and, for once, I'm happy that she's using the "f" word–feminism.
Those of us who would consider themselves feminists have no issues with the terminology. And I'm consistently surprised at how much we're still divided by simply using the word. Strong women come from strong women. I've been lucky in my life to have role models, whether they worked primarily in the home or outside of it, where women are strong minded, intelligent, and have worked impossibly to build both family and foster their children to unite in a different kind of world. I was shocked that less than 4% of parents that stay home in the US are dads. For the majority of my friends, the women are the breadwinners–and that's an exciting change. It's challenging for all of us, because we're still looking for that balance between work life and home life, and it's forever changing. But it's wholly different from my mother's generation. Anyway, I'm still thinking about this book. I was all fired up at work a couple of weeks ago when I finished it, and now I'm not quite sure where to go next…

Book Review #10 – Maidenhead
I'm not sure what to say about Tamara Faith Bergen's Maidenhead. I know it was hard for me to read, something akin to watching that film Thirteen where you know a world exists like this, but it's just perhaps too real. Myra, a relatively inexperienced sixteen-year-old "meets" Elijah (and I say that in quotes because he was actually hunting her or someone like her, young, virginal, easy to be preyed upon) while on holiday in Key West. What follows is a story of sexual awakening coupled with some very extreme emotional issues as Myra's mother leaves the family, and her father retreats into the basement, emerging red-eyed and downtrodden. Like many smart teenagers with little adult supervision, she's back and forth between drugs, sex, and this Elijah character who doesn't necessarily take advantage of her at first (as she's ready and willing to be with him)… but, I don't even know. She's young, wild, and knows her own mind, but the situation, as much as it frees her, is dangerous.
There are a lot of themes, threads, and intelligent issues in the novel, but overall I felt it lacking something. In a sense, I wanted Myra to be more than just a f*#ked up teenager with a value to shock. I wanted the relationships with her parents to be less stereotypical, and I found the odd play-type dialogue between Myra's friend Lee and Elijah's girlfriend Gayl, a little off-putting. And the p0*n, which really isn't my thing, was a little overwhelming. I do, however, appreciate that Coach House published the book–even if it ended up not quite being for me.

Book Review #9 – Ethan Frome
Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome had been on my "this book seems interesting to me" list ever since I read the New Yorker article that Jonathan Franzen wrote, while the specifics of the article faded away rather quickly, the general sense that I should be reading more of her work stayed with me. We have done a version of this book for our public domain ebooks, and I glanced through it briefly, which gave me an idea of the tone and scope of the novel. But upon a closer reading, it's actually quite incredible what Wharton accomplishes in the novella–she tells the entire story of the very sad, very tragic lives of Ethan, his wife Zeena, and her cousin Mattie with brevity, which actually allows for the weight of what happens to them to settle without it feeling overwhelming.
In short, Ethan's unhappily married to a hypochondriac woman. Zeena wasn't always that way–there was a point where she helped Ethan's family out immensely (the reason they married), but for years they'd been engaged in a psychological battle. Zeena's "illnesses" defining reasons why their lives are incapable of moving forward. When Mattie shows up, a poor cousin of Zeena's without anywhere else to go, Ethan's life changes. And when Zeena leaves for a far-flung doctor's appointment, the two nights he and Mattie spend together have the potential to change their unhappy lives forever. For upon her return, Zeena means to turn Mattie out, and as she's his last glance at happiness, Ethan will do anything to prevent it from happening.
Oh, the heartbreak in this little book. It's truly and completely engrossing. Her choice of words, how she structures the story, it all comes together in a way that elevates the everyday-ness of the events to new levels. Parts of the house is described (and I'm paraphrasing) as "grungy" even for this poor area. Ethan schlumps and slogs through his life despite his relatively young age, and Zeena, with her greasy hair and dowdy clothes remains unbearable from day one. The narrator's removed–a stranger, an outsider–they're able to honestly look at what happened in ways that someone intimately involved with the events in the book would be unable to. Does their slight poverty increase the tragic elements in the novel? Absolutely. But it doesn't define them. They act the way they do simply because they have no choice to otherwise. It's a novel that explores how limited the choices are for women of a certain class, and it does that expertly. In a way, I enjoyed this little book even more than I enjoyed The House of Mirth or The Age of Innocence, both books I adore, by the way, because of its simplicity and sadness.

Book Review #8 – The Blondes
In The Blondes, Emily Schultz has written a terrific, original novel. I think, in my perfect pop culture world, it's exactly my kind of book. The writing is great, the story is compelling, and it's fresh in its tone. Hazel, a Phd student in film, embarks upon post-grad work in New York City. She's left behind a disastrous relationship with her faculty adviser, the aptly renamed Karl Mann (having changed his moniker from Dichlicher [sp]), and has just found out she's pregnant. Accident or no, finding yourself up the duff at the very moment of an apocalypse, well, it's not terrific luck.
The epidemic starts with just one or two incidents–blonde women losing it both literally and metaphorically as a result of a virus that soon turns the world into a place where any light-headed person, peroxided or not, could fall victim. Hazel, a natural light-haired red-head, soon finds herself face-to-face with the kinds of situations most familiar to people who have seen and studied Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later. North America on lockdown, Hazel tries to get home, and she ends up at a government run containment centre with other women who may or may not develop the virus, SHV.
Government officials let her out, eventually. And this part of the book eerily reminded me of Blindness, the moment when the government fully admits that it no longer has control over the situation. She manages to get herself back to Toronto, to see her best friend, but then, from there, it seems that everyone, anyone will do what it takes to survive. I'm making the book feel more Walking Dead than it actually is–there's great humour here, a lot of laugh out loud, smart revelations by the writer. It's funny, essentially, the novel is epistolary in format, Hazel's retelling the story to her unborn child. And she moves back and forth from events deeper into the past and from where she is at the moment–in a cottage owned by her ex-lover and his wife, Grace.
All in all, if you are looking for an intelligent mash up of 28 Days Later without the terrifically horror elements, with a dash of Blindness, as above, with a wholly original, satirical point of view, The Blondes is the book for you. I, for one, would love to see Sarah Polley make this into a movie, because I think it would be great fun on the big screen.

There's another obvious clue in the Obamacare scandal, that the system is designed to fail and will lead us to socialized healthcare. Michael Moore, the unabashed liberal, has come out against Obamacare, although he does not blame Obama. This is expected.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Catholic Online has long predicted that Obamacare is designed to fail. Now Michael Moore has taken the stage to play his part in the script, on perfect cue.
The story goes like this: Obamacare is implemented, virtually by force upon a legislature and a public that will come to an increasing realization that the entire plan is a debacle. In the process, the public will become addicted to government subsidies and become accustomed to government involvement in healthcare, soon unable to disassociate the two.
Private insurance companies will be vilified as they simply try to stay in business amid rising costs and low enrollments, and the system will show serious signs of collapse. As the public begins to fear a complete collapse of the healthcare industry, they will welcome government takeover of the industry, granting Obama's true wish for a universal, single-payer system.
This is what we have predicted, although we have prayed that we were wrong. Confirming our fears, liberal commentator and filmmaker, Michael Moore has stepped out to deliver a few lines of his own in this public spectacle which at best amounts to tragic theater.
According to Moore, Obamacare is "awful." Moore penned an op-ed that was published in the New York Times. The piece criticizes the plan, but strangely, not Obama. Instead it pins the blame on the insurance industry, conservatives, and greed.
He also makes fun of the term "affordable."
The key tell Moore's op-ed is that he vilifies the insurance companies which could have made record profits with everyone paying, but may now be looking at major losses since only the sick and poor seem to be signing up.
Obamacare only works if everyone, including the majority of Americans who are healthy, sign up and pay. This isn't happening, because the fines for non-compliance are too small.
It is an important part of Obama's plan that insurance companies, and not the government, are vilified as a result of the changes. When enough people become angry with private insurance providers, they will welcome a cheaper government alternative.
Of course, the government alternative won't be cheaper, but it will be heavily subsidized with government deficit spending so people will believe that it's cheaper since less money marked for healthcare will come out of their monthly paychecks. Taxes however, will increase, especially for the next generation when those bills become due.
To be clear, Catholic Online supports healthcare for all people around the globe, and this includes all Americans, regardless of all considerations. Healthcare is a basic right affirmed by the Church and it should be available to all people who need it.
But healthcare is the proper duty of the Church and other charitable institutions. It is a deeply private, even intimate affair of business between people and their doctors. It must be morally governed, compassionate in its provision, and effective in improving lives so people can focus on their individual well being, both spiritual and physical.
Notice how none of those descriptors match what governments typically do. Government is not generally charitable, moral, or compassionate. Governments are also characterized by ineffectiveness, corruption, and other scandal.
There may be governments in the world that do manage to provide quality healthcare to people. However, the United States government, rapidly becoming one of the most scandalous and corrupt systems in the world, and well-hijacked by big business and special interests, cannot be trusted to meet the high standards of morality and integrity required in healthcare.
In fact, the current administration cannot even launch a functional website or secure the data of those that use it.
Despite these stunning realities, the show must go on. Right on cue, Michael Moore has stepped onto stage to play his part, vilifying the insurance companies. As Americans become increasingly burdened and angry over the debacle that is Obamacare, it will become ever more important to blame the private insurers. Look for others to join Moore in chorus, and you'll know Obama's plan is right on track.
Caveat emptor: Obama is not the harmless fool he plays in public.

So here is the big question today, what do the Bengals do with the 24th pick?
I know that a lot of people think the Bengals need to go DB in the first round but is it really true? The Bengals ranked 3rd on Tot Def, 5th in Pass Def, and 5th in Rush Def. The biggest blow to the Bengals D was losing Johnson. Prior to the injury Leon Hall looked to be one of the best CB that year and Terrence Newman was playing much better than he did the year before. Yes the age of our secondary is certainly getting up there but from what I saw on Dre last year he looked much better than that Dallas Cowboys preseason game. Then on the flip-side 4 of the CB on the Bengals roster have been selected in the first round.
I'm not so sure that DE is a good choice for first round either. I don't see BPA being a DE and really don't want the Bengals to reach for a player they could get by trading down and racking up more picks. When Marqus Hunt was splitting time with Gillberry at the NE game, he had Tom Brady on the ropes a lot of the times he was in. I was very impressed with how quick he could get through the OL. Only knock on Hunt was that he would pull up before sacking the quarterback. He's a player I wish would just become more fierce and not be afraid to hit the opposing team.
I see the Bengals drafting either a WR, LB, or DT. If the BPA is CB (Fuller, Dennard, Gilbert) I don't see the Bengals missing a chance to get them. What do you think the Bengals will do with the 24th pick?

A right and proper death of the euro
PARIS -- When the proposal was initially made for a common European currency, it seemed to this writer to be a good idea, with the flaw that it wouldn't work. Although inexpert in economics (being a product of the age of arithmetic), it struck me as an effect of a false analogy with the United States that was common in Europe at that time.

Just days after news broke that the Justice Department had secretly obtained AP journalists' phone records as part of its ongoing crackdown on leaks, the New Yorker released a new tool — Strongbox — to enable people to safely and securely leak electronic files.
Free Press joined the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and major news organizations in calling on the Justice Department to return the phone records it secretly obtained from more than 100 journalists.
It was just revealed that the Justice Department secretly obtained a huge cache of phone records from reporters and editors at the Associated Press. The AP has called this a "massive and unprecedented" violation of journalists' constitutional right to gather and report the news.
But this is not just a journalists' issue. It's a democratic issue that has implications for all Americans.

Grade 6
In the middle of discussion/story telling, our teacher asked a question
"Sino dito ang gustong nababati?" (praised)
i raised my hand without knowing my classmates' answer..
our teacher who's hiding her laughter, looked at me and at the other kid with the same answer..
I'm slight confused why my classmates were laughing..when chit-chats and noises ceased,the teacher was like sharing again the story about her daughter who doesn't like to be praised..
after that short preview.. she asked the same question again..
and with self-confidence, i raised my hand again without looking around..
the whole class started to laugh, but at that time , it was louder..
It's funny but it's real.. the number of hands with the answer "Me", was the same as the number of hands raised on the first time it was asked..
i was in grade 6 then, but i was thinking
does my classmates really don't like being praised or complimented?
they were just carried away by the story of our teacher..
up until now, when i remember this , i'm still thinking of what they are thinking at that time to those two students who raised their hands..
do they care?
do we have the same answer? or
whether it's a yes or a no , it won't change a thing..
if I were to be asked that same question when i was in grade 6.. hmm
Nothing has changed. I'd still answer the same even if people will laugh at me because i still don't get it .. "Being shameful when complimented" haha
I know it's human nature but we could at least say 'thank you' and absorb it as words of inspiration to make be a better person.
to my grade 6 classmates who still remember me and this story, can i get your answers?
Thanks for passing by !!

By DONNA CASSATA
Associated Press
MCLEAN, Va. (AP) -- House Democrats' hopes of mitigating the damage in the midterm elections lie in the suburbs of Virginia, near the covered bridges of Iowa's Madison County and near New Jersey's Pine Barrens.
No one is suggesting that Democrats can net the 17 seats needed to capture control of the House from the Republicans. Democrats face the harsh political headwinds of traditional losses for the president's party in midterms, an unpopular health care law and President Barack Obama's low approval ratings.
The Democrats' loss in a competitive special election in Florida last week only added to the party's woes. Republicans were gleeful.
Yet Republican retirements in a half-dozen swing districts provide Democrats with an opportunity to grab a handful of seats this November.

The South Korean Supreme Court has nullified a 1995 patent application for a plasma display panel (PDP) by Japanese company Fujitsu, in a ruling which sided with the claims by four local electronics companies -- Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, Orion Electronic, and Hyundai Electronics.
The court ruled that Fujitsu's technology, designed to operate core circuits of plasma displays, could be easily invented using common information and, thus, the technology is ineligible for patent registration.
The legal battle began in 1999 with those four companies filing a lawsuit against Fujitsu after they failed to win a complaint filed with the Korean Industrial Property Tribunal to nullify the patent application.
"Despite the victory, the ruling will have little impact on the industry as the technology has become outdated and is not used any more," Samsung SDI spokesman Park Kyoung-min said.
The ruling, however, was made at a sensitive time when patent disputes between Japanese and Korean technology companies are intensifying in a bid to protect their interests in the fast-growing digital electronics field, particularly in the PDP technology, which is used in flat-screen televisions.
Last February, Samsung SDI and Fujitsu clashed again in court as Samsung filed a lawsuit in the U.S. seeking the nullification of Fujitsu's patents on technologies for giving PDPs a longer life.
As a countermeasure, Fujitsu filed lawsuits in Japan and the U.S. last April, seeking an injunction against the import and sale of Samsung-made PDPs. It also asked the Tokyo Customs Service to suspend imports of Korean products. (Korean Times)
The latest row in the PDP patent war also took place between LG Electronics and Japan's Matsushita.
LG Electronics requested in November that the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy (MOCIE) ban imports of PDP television sets made by Matsushita. It also referred Matsushita's Korean unit to the Seoul Central District Court for alleged patent infringement shortly after Matsushita filed a court injunction to halt sales of PDPs made by LG Electronics in Japan.
The Tokyo Customs Service also separately accepted Matsushita's request to halt imports of LG PDPs.
On November 29, the MOCIE accepted LG's request to temporarily halt imports and sales of Matsushita plasma display panels to investigate the patent infringement case. (Korean Times)

Immigration rally in Nashua calls for quick reform, understanding
Starting at City Hall, the rally moved to the Nashua offices of U.S. Sens`Kelly Ayotte and Jeanne Shaheen, while people chanted in both English and Spanish that no person is inherently illegal, and that immigration reform is needed now.
Eva Castillo, executive director for New Hampshire Alliance of Immigrants and Refugees, fired up the crowd before marching on the senators' offices, saying the time is now for comprehensive immigration reform.
"You can't say that this isn't a New Hampshire issue. This is important, and we don't want to wait anymore," Castillo said.
Devon Chaffee, executive director for the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union, said that while reform looks probable, now is not the time for activists to let up.
"We need immigration reform that will allow everyone in our society to contribute and not exclude anyone," said Arnie Alpert, N.H. program coordinator for the American Friends Service Committee.
Immigration attorney Enrique Mesa, who also sits on the Governor's Commission on Latino Affairs, said he attended the rally because he has seen firsthand people who were desperate to stay in America deported to their country of origin.
"People here over 20 years can get deported; it happens every day. Reform would let people come out of the shadows and be productive in the economy," Mesa said.
Alejandro Urrutia, a member of Latinos Unidos of New Hampshire, said New Hampshire could benefit from immigration reform because of the state's growing industrial sector.
"Reform will have real impact on families here and on the economy," Urrutia said.
High school students Marisol Saavedra and Juan Zamudio also spoke to the crowd, detailing their life stories and how immigration reform could help them.
Saavedra, a sophomore at Nashua High School South, said reform would allow members of her family, whom she called her support, to stay in America.
Zamudio said he is an example of how immigration to America is a positive thing; his parents brought him to America from Colombia when he was a young boy so he could have greater opportunities.
Now attending The Derryfield School in Manchester as a junior, Zamudio said his accomplishments in education might not have been possible had his family stayed in Colombia.
Sandra Strauss said she is not a member of any pro-immigration group or union, but in her opinion, reform is something that needs to be done quickly.
"I think immigration policies are prejudicial and not very helpful to citizens or immigrants.
"We need to be generous, especially as one of the richest, most powerful nations in the world," Strauss said.
Maria Thyng said immigration reform is important to her because her father was an illegal immigrant who was sent back to Mexico after her parents divorced.
The Rev. Tom Woodward said that he believes reform needs to happen as soon as possible, not just to help immigrants but also to help heal the country because citizens have been sharply divided on the issue.
Gary Schulte, conference minister for the New Hampshire Conference United Church of Christ, said he supports immigration reform because he does not want to see families get split up.
"We need to be sensitive to the immigrants amongst us," Schulte said.

The Iowa Legislature hasn�t passed a gas tax increase. The media will be reporting closed country roads and impassable bridges because of lack of funding Iowa�s rural infrastructure.
The too-proud Iowa Legislature is concerned about an election year approaching and the Tea Party says �No tax increases.� The gas tax hasn�t increased for 25 years and the stagnation of our state seems to be of no concern. The only reason we had decent roads and bridges in the first place was people in the past cared.
Do the right thing and send legislators a wake-up call.

Are there any legal obligations of a Non-Compete / Non Disclosure agreement that an individual signed but the other party to the agreement (an LLC) has since gone out of business? For example - can that company "re-form" and take over it's old agreements? We pitched a project to a Texas LLC that is closed and no longer in good standing with the Texas Sec. of State ("FRANCHISE TAX INVOLUNTARILY ENDED") and we wish to do that project ourselves now after 2 years of waiting but there is 1 year left on the NDA clause.
You really need to have an attorney review the paperwork to determine the extent of your exposure. The legal implications of a non compete provision are quite different from a non disclosure agreement.
The law on covenants not to compete in Texas is fairly arcane, and has been changing over time. A lot of covenants not to compete are simply not enforceable for failing to comply with the Covenant Not To Compete Act, Tex. Bus. & Comm. Code Section 15.50, et seq. I set out the following so that you can understand a little about covenant not to compete law in Texas.
In order for a covenant not to compete to be enforceable it must be ancillary to or part of an otherwise enforceable agreement at the time the agreement is made and contain limitations as to time, geographical area and scope of activity to be restrained that are reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the good will or other business interest of the promisee. The employer must make a non-illusory promise in return for which the employee's promise not to compete was made.
In Mann Frankfort v. Fielding, the Texas Supreme Court took a significant step away from its prior decision in Light v. Centel. From the Light decision in 1994, until the Court's 2006 decision in Sheshunoff, illusory promises in the context of at-will employment could not support the enforcement of covenants not to compete because they were not enforceable "at the time the agreement is made." As a result, any agreement which called for the employer to make a disclosure of confidential information at a future time following execution of the covenant not to compete would be unenforceable because the employer could simply fire the employee instead of performing. With the Sheshunoff decision, the Court made a subtle yet radical shift away from Light, holding that the language "ancillary to or part of an otherwise enforceable agreement at the time the agreement is made" does not actually require the "otherwise enforceable agreement" to be enforceable at the time the agreement is made. Rather, future performance not only creates the "otherwise enforceable agreement" but also makes the covenant not to compete enforceable.
To make a long story short, you really need to have an attorney review your covenant not to compete, and assess and evaluate your particular circumstances. Your particular dealings with your employer can affect the enforceablility of the covenant not to compete agreement.
Since you are in the Dallas area, you may wish to take advantage of my free hour of consultation for new clients. If you make an appointment, please bring copies of your pertinent paperwork.
Good luck.
In order to enforce a covenant not to compete, a business has to have a protectable interest in the business activity that is the subject of the covenant. If the company has truly gone out of business, there is no protectable interest in any business activities. A business is not "out of business" because it is no longer in good standing with the State of Texas. The business may still be operating or liquidating its assets, including trying to sell the project you mentioned and the non-compete/non-disclosure agreement. The company may be in bankruptcy and re-organizing or liquidating. You need to engage an attorney to make inquiries and determine its status.
It sounds as though you may need more information. You should hire an attorney and obtain more information about the prior company and its owners.

The outcome of Australia's independent review of the Renewable Energy Target (RET) has called for it to be closed or significantly downsized in a blow to the country's multi-billion dollar clean energy pipeline.
The governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, has launched the NY-Sun Initiative, a plan to consolidate the state's existing solar incentive programmes into a single support scheme, aimed at adding 3GW of solar generation capacity by 2023.
Japan's Environment Ministry is looking to boost the deployment of ground-mounted solar farms by offering extra support to projects being built on landfill sites that have reached full capacity, according to reports in the Japanese press.
EDF and E.ON, two of the largest offshore wind project developers in the UK have backed the department of energy and climate change's (DECC) plans to cut support for large-scale solar under the renewable obligation (RO) scheme.
India's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has finally received funds to pay a 30% subsidy promised to rooftop solar installations.
Rumours that the Indian government is considering a fixed feed-in tariff to boost solar deployment have been dismissed as "not serious".
The Massachusetts state legislature broke for the summer without approving a raft of new solar policies. An extension to the state's net metering programme offered scant consolation.
Solar project costs would inflate by as much as 75% if anti-dumping duties are introduced, according to the Associated Chamber of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM).
Over 3GW of US-based PV projects could be at risk due to fallout from the US Department of Commerce's (DoC) rulings on anti-subsidy and anti-dumping cases regarding Chinese modules, according to a new report from NPD Solarbuzz.
Solar and onshore wind will compete for a share of US$85 million a year under the new contracts for difference (CfDs) scheme, according to a document published by the UK Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC).
Changes to Germany's EEG energy policies and the introduction of new renewable energy auctions in the UK have won state aid approval from the EU.
Rises in consumer electricity prices, caused in part by a backlog of unbuilt PV projects, could put Japan's solar industry in serious danger of losing support, a Tokyo-based analyst has warned.
Controversial reforms to German energy law have passed another parliamentary hurdle, having been approved by the country's upper house, the Bundesrat (federal council) and now stand to become law on 1 August.
The UK's High Court has ruled that 14 solar companies affected by feed-in tariff cuts in 2011 may pursue a claim for damages.
Italy's proposed retroactive cuts on its solar feed-in tariff are a form of theft, according to Photon Energy.

Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - Tony Parker poured in 31 points and dished out a game-high 10 assists, as San Antonio hung on to defeat Indiana, 126-121, at Conseco Fieldhouse.
Tim Duncan added 22 points and 11 rebounds for the Spurs, who snapped a two- game skid. Michael Finley ended with 18 points. Manu Ginobili finished with 16 points, seven boards, and seven assists. Drew Gooden added 17 points off the bench for the victors.
"It was a good game. The fans got their moneys worth. Timmy (Tim Duncan) was great and Tony (Parker) was great. That was the difference in the game," San Antonio head coach Gregg Popovich said.
San Antonio sits atop the Southwest Division standings, 1 1/2 games ahead of Houston and two games in front of New Orleans. The Spurs are a half-game behind idle Denver for the second spot in the Western Conference.
Indiana was paced by Danny Granger, who finished with a game-high 35 points. Jarrett Jack added 22 points, six rebounds, and six helpers for the Pacers, who finished a three-game homestand with 2-1 mark. Troy Murphy had 19 points and 13 rebounds, while Brandon Rush ended with 14 points in defeat.
T.J. Ford and Jeff Foster each tallied 12 points off the bench for the Pacers, who sit four games behind idle Chicago for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East.
"I thought we played a really good offensive game. They're a tough team to guard but I thought we let ourselves down defensively," Indiana head coach Jim O'Brien said.
Down 102-88 early in the fourth, the Pacers came storming back with an 18-3 run to take their first lead since early in the contest. Granger's 17-foot jumper culminated the surge, giving Indiana a 106-105 edge with just under 5 1/2 minutes left.
Rush made a driving layup to put the home team ahead 117-115 with 1:59 to go. But Parker drained a trey from the corner during the Spurs' next possession to put San Antonio up by one with 1:42 remaining.
During Indiana's next trip down the court, Ford missed a three-pointer. Parker came up big again, this time hitting a 19-foot jumper to give the visitors a 120-117 lead with 59.7 ticks to play.
Following a missed trey from Jack, Duncan made a tip-in off a missed Ginobili three-pointer to extend the Spurs' advantage to 122-117 with 31.4 seconds remaining.
San Antonio connected on 4-of-4 foul shots down the stretch to secure the victory.
Trailing 25-24, San Antonio finished the first quarter on a 11-0 run to take a 35-25 lead after 12 minutes of play. Parker, who scored 12 points in the frame, tallied seven during the surge.
The Spurs, who led by as many as 14 in the second period, headed to the locker room with a 63-55 advantage. San Antonio hit 56.1 percent of its shots in the first half, while Indiana shot 44 percent from the field.
Ahead 83-77 with 3:43 remaining in the third, Gooden ripped off nine consecutive points to extend San Antonio's lead to 92-77. Gooden's 19-foot jumper capped off the flurry with under two minutes to go.
The Spurs took a 93-81 advantage into the final frame.
