Scrambling to flesh out skeleton Fed board
"It's about time" was the general reaction when on Thursday the Senate Banking Committee scheduled a vote on Barack Obama's nominees for the Federal Reserve board. Not that Stanley Fischer, Lael Brainard and Jerome Powell (a sitting governor who needs re-confirmation) have been waiting all that long; it was January that the U.S. president nominated them as central bank governors, and only a month ago that the trio testified to the committee. The urgency and even anxiety had more to do with the fact that only four members currently sit on the Fed's seven-member board and one of those, Jeremy Stein, is retiring in a month. The 100-year old Fed has never had only three governors, and the thought of the policy and administrative headaches that would bring was starting to stress people out. After all, the Fed under freshly-minted chair Janet Yellen is in the midst of its most difficult policy reversal ever.
"Boy it would be more comfortable if there were at least five governors and hopefully more" to help Yellen "think through these very difficult communications challenges," said Donald Kohn, a former Fed vice chair. Former governor Elizabeth Duke, who stepped down in August, said one of the Fed board's strengths is its diversity of members' backgrounds. "With fewer people you don't have as many different points of view on policy," she said in an interview.
The Senate committee votes on the three nominees April 29. But they can't start the job until the full Democratic-controlled Senate also schedules a vote and gives them the green light.
To be sure, there is no requirement for the Fed to have a full slate of seven governors. But it was something of a wake-up call when five presidents of the Fed's regional branches voted alongside only four board governors at last month's policy-setting meeting, when the central bank decided to revamp a delicate promise to keep interest rates low for a while to come. The privately-elected presidents, who often represent the extremely hawkish or dovish views on what to do about rates and asset purchases, will have an effective majority until more governors are confirmed. While the chair will seek to build the broadest support possible among fellow policymakers, "when the board is under-staffed the leadership needs to be that little bit more solicitous of the views of the presidents, who can dissent more freely," said Krishna Guha, a former New York Fed official who now a vice chairman at ISI, a broker-dealer.

The landslide of news
Of the many ways nature can kill you, the landslide must be the most cruel. Not as cosmically spectacular as the tectonic tantrum of the earthquake or as catastrophic as pure weather-borne calamities (floods, hurricanes, tornados), the mudslide lies in wait like a heart attack, springing its localized force without much, if any, warning. It's filthy, it's bone-crushing, and it's suffocating. Any trust you have in terra firma will promptly be upended.
The press coverage of Saturday's landslide in Oso, Wash., which as of this writing has claimed 24 dead and confirmed missing, has expressed this horror with hours of broadcast and thousands of column inches of newsprint -- and continues. Today's New York Times makes the Oso landslide its top story, complete with slideshow and interactive map of the disaster.

Obama's new sanctions aim to expose crony Putinism
By Kevin Allison
The author is a Reuters Breakingviews columnist. The opinions expressed are his own.
Barack Obama is hitting Vladimir Putin where it hurts – his inner circle. New U.S. sanctions against a Russian bank and a host of tycoons are ostensibly just an escalated response to the annexation of Crimea. But they also allege a link between the Kremlin boss and Gunvor, a secretive Swiss oil trader. Washington seems determined to reveal how Putin and his comrades have amassed immense personal wealth at public expense.

Cold War chill over Ukraine
Dramatic twist in the Ukraine saga last night with a conversation between a State Department official and the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine posted on YouTube which appeared to show the official, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, deliberating on the make-up of the next government in Kiev.
That led to a furious tit-for-tat with Moscow accusing Washington of planning a coup and the United States in turn saying Russia had leaked the video, which carried subtitles in Russian. A Kremlin aide said Moscow might block U.S. "interference" in Kiev.

Marching to Sousa's drum beat
Washington, D.C.
By Jonathan Ernst
One of the great things about Washington is historic Capitol Hill, where there's a lot of life beyond the headlines and punch lines about the U.S. Congress. I like to describe it as a small town attached to the city. We know our neighbors. We walk our dogs.
Sure, our neighbors include senators and congressmen, and every once in a while at the grocery store you'll find yourself in line behind a woman who happens to be the Secretary of Health and Human Services holding the bouquet of flowers she's picked out, or a guy who happens to be the director of the CIA as he's making a selection at the olive bar. But at that moment, they're just neighbors. They probably walk their dogs too. While a security detail in a large black SUV watches from a discreet distance.

Humdrum summit
A two-day EU summit kicks off in Brussels hamstrung by the lack of a German government.
Officials in Berlin say they want to reach a common position on a mechanism for restructuring or winding up failing banks by the end of the year but with an entire policy slate to be thrashed out and the centre-left SPD saying the aim is to form a new German administration with Angela Merkel's CDU by Christmas, time is very tight.
from Ian Bremmer:
The selfishness in Congress is far from over
When I write about our new G-Zero world, I am describing an international phenomenon: a global environment in which no power or group of powers can sustainably set an international agenda. The global community, used to orienting itself around a collection of U.S.-led powers, has fallen victim to a widening leadership vacuum, what with the United States disengaging from foreign affairs and Europe too busy with its own crisis. Emerging powers like China have grown large enough to undermine a Western-led global agenda -- but not yet developed enough to prioritize their own international role over their domestic concerns.
Every major power is too busy watching out for its own needs to focus on the bigger picture. As a result, the international community has been unable to make any progress on pressing crises like global warming, a civil war in Syria, or the rise of cyber warfare. A vacuum of leadership has led to a dearth of mutually beneficial planning.

Can they kick it? Yes they can
Click here for suggested soundtrack to this blog
During the recent round of financial crises, policymakers have done a whole lot of "kicking the can down the road".
The latest is taking place in the United States where a fiscal stalemate between Republicans and Democrats has forced the first partial government shutdown in 17 years. It has also raised concerns about a U.S. debt default, should the government not meet a deadline this week of raising the debt ceiling. That has kept short-term U.S. interest rates and the cost of insuring U.S. debt against default relatively elevated.

Becoming a published news photographer
Washington, D.C.
By Jim Bourg
When reports of "shots fired" came in from multiple locations on Washington's Capitol Hill on October 3, I dispatched Reuters Washington photographers in force, with four staff photographers and two contract photographers racing towards the scene within minutes of the shots being fired. Early on it was unclear how big the incident was and whether the Capitol was in fact under attack, and we were taking no chances if this might become a huge world news event. But in this day of ever present camera phones, and with so many members of the public carrying cameras, unless a news photographer is lucky enough to be right on the scene when spot news happens, there is always someone else who was there shooting pictures first.
Staff photographer Larry Downing was one of the first Reuters photographers on the scene at the Capitol Hill shooting. While Larry was shooting pictures, and as I remotely edited his pictures from the Reuters Washington bureau over a cellular data card connected to his laptop, a young freelance photographer named Alexander Morozov walked up and started asking questions, expressing his interest in becoming a professional news photographer.

Letter of the Lew: Treasury comments on change of guard at troubled IRS
Here are comments from a U.S. Treasury official on Secretary Jack Lew's meeting with incoming Acting IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel this morning, following a scandal of political targeting that cost the previous acting commissioner his job. Treasury officials knew about the problem as early as last June, according to this report in the Wall Street Journal:
Secretary Lew met with incoming Acting IRS Commissioner Werfel this morning and directed him to conduct a thorough review of the organization in an effort to restore public confidence in the IRS and ensure the organization is providing excellent and unbiased service to the taxpayer. Secretary Lew also requested that he take actions immediately as appropriate, and that within the next 30 days, Werfel report back to the President and him about progress made in three areas: 1) ensuring staff that acted inappropriately are held accountable 2) examine and correct any failures in the system that allowed this behavior to happen and 3) take a forward-looking systemic view at the agency's organization.

AP News in Brief at 8:58 p.m. EDT
Historic flooding in Bosnia triggers more than 3,000 landslides, unearths unexploded mines
BRCKO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — Floodwaters triggered more than 3,000 landslides across the Balkans on Sunday, laying waste to entire towns and villages and disturbing land mines leftover from the region's 1990s war, along with warning signs that marked the unexploded weapons.
The Balkans' worst flooding since record keeping began forced tens of thousands of people from their homes and threatened to inundate Serbia's main power plant, which supplies electricity to a third of the country and most of the capital, Belgrade.
Authorities organized a frenzied helicopter airlift to get terrified families to safety before the water swallowed up their homes. Many were plucked from rooftops.
Floodwaters receded Sunday in some locations, laying bare the full scale of the damage. Elsewhere, emergency management officials warned that the water would keep rising into Sunday night.
"The situation is catastrophic," said Bosnia's refugee minister, Adil Osmanovic.
AP PHOTOS: Balkans hit with record flooding
Entire towns and villages in the Balkans have been laid to waste as the region struggles to deal with the worst flooding on record.
Floodwaters have triggered more than 3,000 landslides and forced tens of thousands of people from their homes. At least two dozen people have died, with more casualties expected.
"The situation is catastrophic," said Bosnia's refugee minister, Adil Osmanovic.
Here are some photos of the devastation.
AT&T's $48.5 billion DirecTV acquisition could form 2nd largest US pay TV company
LOS ANGELES (AP) — AT&T Inc. on Sunday agreed to buy satellite TV provider DirecTV for $48.5 billion, or $95 per share, a deal both companies described as transformational as they seek to take on cable companies and online video providers, delivering content to multiple screens —on living room TVs, PCs, tablets and mobile phones.
With 5.7 million U-verse TV customers and 20.3 million DirecTV customers in the U.S., the combined AT&T-DirecTV would serve 26 million. That would make it the second-largest pay TV operator behind a combined Comcast-Time Warner Cable, which would serve 30 million under a $45 billion merger proposed in February.
"What it does is it gives us the pieces to fulfill a vision we've had for a couple of years — the ability to take premium content and deliver it across multiple points: your smartphone, tablet, television or laptop," AT&T's Chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson said on a conference call with journalists Sunday.
But the deal could face unique regulatory scrutiny from the Federal Communications Commission and Department of Justice. Unlike the cable company tie-up, the AT&T-DirecTV merger would effectively cut the number of video providers from four to three for about 25 percent of U.S. households. That's a situation that could result in higher prices for consumers and usually gives regulators cause for concern.
Stephenson said those concerns would be addressed with a number of what he called "unprecedented" commitments. Among them:
News Summary: AT&T, DirecTV propose $48.5B merger
BIG MERGER: AT&T is seeking to acquire DirecTV for $48.5 billion, of $95 per share, in a deal to help it better compete with rivals.

Jeremy Hefner, who had been rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, has been diagnosed with a torn UCL and forearm fracture.
All eyes were again on Port St. Lucie on Saturday afternoon as Matt Harvey threw off a mound for a third time in his continuing recovery from Tommy John surgery. But it was news on teammate Jeremy...
Catch up on all of yesterday's minor league action from around the Mets farm system!
Noah Syndegaard has been placed on the Triple-A disabled list for a flexor-pronator strain and will be sent back to NY for further testing.
A week after non-tendering him, the Mets have brought Jeremy Hefner back into the organization.
In a pair of surprising moves, the team has non-tendered the utilityman and starting pitcher.
The right-handed starter had his operation today, and it went well.
Mets' pitchers are not receiving good news today as both Hefner and Matt Harvey have torn elbow ligaments.
The back-of-the-rotation starter will go under the knife.
Mejia will likely be ready for next season, whereas Hefner will miss most, if not all of next season.
The Mets optioned Jeremy Hefner to Triple-A Las Vegas and activated Jon Niese from the disabled list this afternoon.
The Mets' bullpen picked up Jeremy Hefner after a few rough innings, but Paul Goldschmidt got the best of it in the ninth inning.

text: Good evening. This was a different day at the Obama White House. Yesterday, in the Oval Office, the President told us in the interview that he "screwed up." That's not something we're used to hearing from our President in recent years. He was talking about the tax problems of some of his nominees. But today, when he took on the topic of the economy, he took on the Republicans, reminding them he was the one elected President, and warning everybody of catastrophe if this economic fix isn't approved. We'll begin there tonight with our chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd.

Rationale and Challenges for Massive Data Stream Processing on the Cloud
The ubiquity of mobile devices, location services, and sensor pervasiveness, e.g., as in smart city initiatives, call for scalable computing platforms and massively parallel architectures to process the vast amounts of the generated streamed data. Cloud computing provides some of the features needed for these massive data streaming applications. For example, the dynamic allocation of resources on an as-needed basis addresses the variability in sensor and location data distributions over time. However, today's cloud computing platforms lack very important features that are necessary in order to support the massive amounts of data streams envisioned by the massive and ubiquitous dissemination of sensors and mobile devices of all sorts in smart-city-scale applications.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean. Fridge and microwave provided. Guesthouse was close to Sherbourne Metro and shopping area.
Room very small. Some hooks on doors or hangers would have been useful, as space is limited.
I like the room size TV Wifi - gold star :-) Location
You have a microwave & a fridge but no cutlery, plates or kettle. Finish off this job & I would have no issue with this place.
Location was great; room was clean, spacious and quiet (as requested). Staff was very helpful. There was a fridge and microwave in room.
No phone in room; water pressure (on second floor) was extremely poor.
Easy to get to, just off the subway line. The wakin tub was another nice feature.
I was looking for a B&B, was disappointed that this hotel was listed under that designation. B&B in the area would have been cheaper with breakfast.
- private bath - fridge and microwave in the room - spacious (Double bed and a pull out Futon) - Location is fantastic. A few block from Yonge and Bloor. You can't get much more downtown than that.
No remote for the A/C
I just wanted a nice and clean room to sleep in while I was in toronto.. Excellent
Be able to control my own AC
Very Clean rooms with WiFi, fridge and Microwave. Close to Sherbourne Subway and convenience stores. Onsite laundry
Room size is small
Good and quiet location.
Very nice quaint little room...Clean...Very close to subway and business district...Very friendly, helpful staff...Small parking area in back for $10 per day.
Very little reading light while in bed, only one small shaded lamp on one nightstand on one side of the bed (no room for a second nightstand, bring your own clip-on reading light if you like to read in bed.) Room was very cold. ***Only the attendant had the remote control for the air conditioner, at least in room #7. There was no way to control the a/c from the room or to unplug it, it ran 24/7. It's fine once you are in bed under the covers but outside of that it was very cold in the room. The staff reset it for us to 74 degree's and it didn't seem to work as it was still very cold (bring warm nightclothes.) Small bathroom, very nice and clean but still small.
Keppner Guesthouse is no frills, but then again we were hardly in the room. The location isn't close to any tourist attractions, but plenty of restaurants are within walking distance for both lunch and dinner. There are also a couple of different metro stops nearby that can take you anywhere in the city you wish to go.
This might've been my fault for not researching it, but I wish I'd known that parking was going to be extra. If I had, I probably would've parked in the nearby garage for a little less than I was charged by the Guesthouse.
Location, Room, wifi
Noise from other guests rooms
Great location, comfortable bed with host who went out of her way to help. We were there during the summer festival and could access the city easily. Breakfast is had with the other people in the house and is nutritious and tasty.
It was quite noisy when were there but that was because of the festival.
locality,cleanliness, facilities
too congested room, ac not working properly
My intention in Toronto was to stay close to downtown while paying a reasonable rate - this I could accomplish using Keppner Guesthouse. The room and bathroom were very clean equipped with very basic amenities. It is located on a quiet street.
Soundproofing is not the best - you can easily hear other guests moving about in their rooms or talking in the corridor.
For us it was a great spot - easy to drive to. Cheap $10 parking, close to two different undergrounds to easily get into the city. Restaurants/movies/mall 10 minute walk away. Clean rooms and very helpful staff
If you want to be right in the city this wouldn't be for you
beautiful street
Value for money.. its relatively cheap, looking at the location, but basic. I think I had a good deal using Keppner Guesthouse. The location is great for a city trip. Calm neighbourhood and close to the city center. Either walking or subway.
Nothing, but make sure your mindset is right.
Clean linen clean floors
Closet and the table
The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom is tiny but very clean. There was plenty of storage and hangers for our clothes and the place even has a laundry facility on site for free use.
It is by only one metro stop but there are plenty of places to walk to for dinner. Bloor street is very close by as well.
It would have been nice to have more towels. The bathrooms were quite small and cramped.
Location Central air worked Nice to have fridge and microwave Wifi worked Lovely neighbourhood
Poor water pressure in shower No wash cloths/limited linens supplied No coffee maker Room door rattled and was able to hear what was outside the door
2 bed instead of one...stayed in a 1 bed plus futon once b4 there. much nicer room..same price
the room was small compared to my first stay a bed plus futon...almost 2x the size...no " do not disturb sings"
For less than $100 per night, it was a real value. Very clean. Rooms were serviced every other day.
Shower was a little slow
Location and price were awesome. There was a microwave and small refrigerator = awesome. No coffee maker nor kettle = not so awesome. We just picked up some instant coffee from Starbucks and nuked the water so coffee was had for the better of all. They came in the change sheets and towels every second day which was great.
No coffee maker. No bath tub. The fan in the washroom was super dusty. There was no do not disturb sign for the door.
Great location, quiet street, easy access, clean and comfortable?
Shower pressure a little iffy at times.

Love the plain and unadorned look of the bag, it's classic. Though I wish it were lined, it's better as carry on for flights. I would tru not to check it in. It's light weight! Wish it had a bottom liner to give it structure ... Also the name tag was very difficult to remove and put back on due to the strap

Man, you get some interesting responses anytime Art and Commerce are forced into a fistfight - with people overwhelmingly choosing Commerce as their favorite. The comments/emails from yesterday's blog show what an uphill battle it is to get people to understand the larger picture.
In a nutshell, these are the major deceits:
1) Nobody should pay for art, it should just exist so we can enjoy it.
2) Artists are, by and large, "getting away with it."
3) Doing art for a living isn't a Real Job.
4) Artists should consider themselves lucky to get anything because so many other people will be happy to do it for free.
5) TV writers, movie scribes, architects, hairdressers and the people who write all the words on a website are not artists.
6) Art is demonstrably less important than money, sports, science, alcohol and most sex.
All to which, no offense, I call utter bullshit. Maybe the problem is using the term "art" when it has such pretentious implications. I wish there were a better word for it, but for now I'll stick with this formula: Anything someone creates from their imagination for the enjoyment, edification, reaction or affirmation of their fellow man = ART.
As such, art is as important as every single fucking thing listed above, unless you want to live in a country where all the houses are square, where there are no stories, where there are no pictures or paintings, everyone's hair is a dull brown or grey, and nobody shares any cultural experience outside of the NFL. Take the NFL off that list, and you've got Albania in the 1950s.
This stuff is like oxygen; you don't realize how much you depend upon it until it's gone. And bit by bit, that's happening: already music is pretty much extinct from most public school systems, and when it's budget-crunch time, who gets the money, the sculpting department who wants a kiln, or the defensive linebackers who want new crotch cups?
In essence, that's why I say this fight between the WGA and the major studios can be construed into a much bigger picture: it's the same damn thing being played out on a larger scale. Tregen claims that nobody in Hollywood wants a living, they only want to make it big - again, somehow, writers are "getting away with it." Andrew compares the WGA to a bunch of florists. In doing so, you've both played perfectly into the hands of giant companies who want nothing more than to dismiss all of us as entitled, pathetic twits.
They don't have to try very hard, when you're doing their work for them. It's so easy when the American caricature of a self-proclaimed artist is a self-obsessed, needy idler who is probably a fag. People in this country are cruel to many people - different races, the gays, fat women - but they reserve their deepest hatred for those who, by their estimation, "don't work for a living."
And god frickin' forbid that they ask to be paid for their contributions. This has led to most artists simply not asking for money, believing, in a self-loathing haze, they aren't worth it. Thank god my dad, an amazing symphony conductor, taught me early on to FUCKING GET PAID for any work you do, and not meekly consider it an honor just to be invited.
In this country, you are rewarded for having a real job. Many of you, reading this right now, are being paid to sit in that chair in the morning, when fully 50% of you would rather be doing anything else. The fact that you don't act on that "anything else" is guaranteeing you health insurance and food for your kids, and I have unfathomable respect for that.
Someone who has chosen to be a writer can't do your job; they'd be no good at it. If they were in Neva's shoes, they'd prescribe the wrong medicine; if they were in Kevin from NC's bike shop, they'd destroy every derailleur they came across. Writers at our stage of the game have worked their lives to get here, and can't do anything else, just like you can't.
I don't mean to pick on anyone specifically from the comments, and I'm sorry for singling anyone out. But this is a battle we're destined to fight for the rest of our lives. There's no more money in journalism, nothing in novels or non-fiction, and off-Broadway is a pauper's game. There's hardly any money left in movies. The only place anyone can make a living writing anymore is in television, and now we're being told that we're worthless. As Winston Churchill said, that is something up with which we will not put.
Without disagreeing with (much) of the above, here's the larger problem for the writers and, for that matter, their employers: The internet has exploded the myth of the creative class. By open-sourcing entertainment, journalism, and criticism, it has made traditional sources of those things, if not irrelevant, a lot less central to our culture.
1950s Albania gets such a bad rap.
How will the strike affect YOU? As a loyal reader, we all know that you and Tessa have gotten into some very important meetings with some important people, but we don't know if any of your projects or pitch ideas are in production.
Two questions emerge: (1) Is your project in the pipeline and, if so, will it be lost because of the strike? (2) Are you a card-carrying Writer's Guild member? And, if not, will your project now get the greenlight while the Varsity team is on strike?
And, I guess one more question, would it be (as I suspect) career suicide to try and get something in front of the suits during the strike?
Okay a fourth question . . . how far ahead are shows written and produced? For example, have they already written the whole season of BONES? Or do they write one or two weeks ahead? Because if it's already written . . . and the actors don't go on strike . . . can't you shoot the rest of the shows?
hmm, I'm thinking maybe my point yesterday got lost somewhere along the way. I'd like to commit a bit of time to explain where I fall on this stuff, so I'll try to type it all out along the way today and post it later.
I tend to agree with you Ian. However, I think the disconnect occurs when you bring the issues out to the rest of the world hoping or looking for some sympathy. To which I respond "I don't give a shit because I've got my own problems". We have to pick our battles and for me this gets "no consideration". Outside of my own personal and work issues, I am concerned about the environment, healthcare, our miserable political system, etc. etc. So please don't mistake my ignoring the issue as opposition. It just doesn't rank.
Don't really have a problem with anyone getting paid for anything. One has to prove their worth, regardless. I guess that your family history provides a little more insight for you about getting paid for art, obviously.
There are two things this raises for me, or makes me define for myself:
1) Some things are entertainment, some things are art, some are craft. Most Seinfeld episodes to me are entertainment/craft. They show talent, and intelligence, but I do apply heavier context to the word 'Art'. I assume the people who contributed got paid. I would be surprised if they didn't.
2) Some of the aspects of this are unique to your occupation. I don't really understand 'royalties' or 'residuals'. They are unique. Most other occupations carry liabilities into the future, not royalties. I think that's where the feeling that "Art is not as important as oxygen" comes from. I would love to get royalties for each engineering solution that I provide and sometimes I do, but the liability associated with it is probably not worth it. In my particular endeavor the goal is to produce something of value, get paid appropriately and then never hear about it again.
Occasionally art is the accused culprit in a way that is similar to other occupations, such as Helter Skelter's effect on the Manson family. But ultimately it's impact is not usually punished and to the casual observer, I'd say that the members of the Beatles have profitted handsomely from the song; an arrangement I find foreign to my experience.
The NFL makes a lot of money, I'm not really sure why - but on the flip side so has Jeff Koons. It would be interesting to take your entry today and apply most of the references to Koons, contrasted with other occupations.
"All to which, no offense, I'd call utter bullshit" - Ian Williams
(As you know, I did always want to sculpt Michael Jackson and Bubbles and leverage it into marrying a hot Italian porn star- no, really)
you don't "ask" for money, you earn it. that's how to "fucking get paid".
the market will tell you how much you're worth. it's very efficient.
god bless capitalism.
To the extent I've fallen into your little traps, it is because:
1. I'm bitter and jealous of artists because I wanted to be an actor before I learned I had to make a living and ended up being a lawyer.
2. The appearance that most artistic copyrights are really owned by evil brobdignagian corporations that have already screwed real artists out of the right to their work. Therefore, bootleg copies of albums, for example, don't really shock my conscience;
3. If most of the crap in TV and movies is "art", then my butt's a finely tuned, concert-quality wind instrument. Seems to me, as long as the public is more willing to pay for sin than for virtue, the market will support ten tons of crap for every ounce of the good stuff. For this reason, I sometimes wonder if the best market for artists is the vaguely feudal model from the Italian Renaissance, where cultured aristocrats commissioned the good stuff, and the best artists got paid well as long as Don Tuttifrutti didn't renege on the deal and have them stabbed and jailed instead...on second thought, maybe that wasn't the best of times after all.
here here ian. my daughter is a member of the WGA and 2007 was the first year she could actually quit her "day jobs" and write for a living. her goal was not to "make it big" but to be lucky enough to get paid to do what she does best - being creative. she voted for the strike because writing is not only her "art" but its her job and just like anyone else with a job she wants to be paid fairly for her work. and anyone who thinks that writing is not a real job doesn't know a writer.
gfwd - they can shoot the shows they already have scripts for and the networks do not have enough shows to finish out the season.
When doing gigs in Canada a few years ago, I became friends with some canadian musicians. I was amazed to find out that they are in part subsidized by the government in exchange for being professional musicians and performers.
Now, I'm not getting into another govt vs. private sector debate or arguing whether its right or wrong, I'm just pointing out that there is a difference in the way that some other developed countries treat their artists or support art in general.
Once upon a time you could make a living here on the margins as a musician without having a big commercial hit. Its still doable, but it has gotten much harder.
The good news is that music itself is not dying - more people are making music than ever before, in every genre. And its all available now, along the lines of what mec said.
I see the huge category of "commercial arts" as a continuum that runs from the more purely commercial ('Full House') to the more to the purely artistic ('Tell Me That You Love Me'). We can argue about where any piece of work falls on that continuum, but I think some of the hostility that you identify comes from a tendancy among commercial artists to argue that their work is simply "art" and to pretend, when convenient, that they lack the perfectly natural desire to get paid.
Where do you get your take on life?
Selling "art" requires real salesmanship - salesmanship is quintessential business.
what is not a real job is working in academia. it's conceptual/abstract la-la land in perpetuity.
your cussing really shows your lack of class. it's not macho, it's not "cool" - it's gutter trash. real, refined people don't cuss. nor do they show their "money" hand - their identity is not tied to wealth or lack thereof.
I don't see what all the fuss is about. What you do is valuable to people just like the automakers, truck drivers, doctors or whatever. It's harder for people to put a direct monetary amount on that value but it's still very, very real. Part of the purpose of striking is to prove your value and show the folks in positions of power how much you are missed.
There is nothing wrong with being paid for producing something valuable or for wanting to have appropriate say in how your work is used/interpreted/whatever. Sometimes people have to stand up for themselves or get walked all over.
I think some people's ire over "artists" is based on their jealousy about the overpaid few that are most visible to them (the celebrities that make millions per movie for example). We have to remember that it is unfair to judge the millions of hard working and unseen folks based on the reimbursement of that tiny majority of people. I feel the same thing with people thinking doctors "make too much money" because they are looking at the plastic surgeons etc. and judging us all.
I don't know, Ian. Sounds like you're getting more flack than love from the hoi polloi on this one. Kind've pissing me off.
Forgot to mention that I disagree with you highly. Working in Academia (I assume you mean college profs and the like) is quite challenging. I spent some time in that arena and discovered that getting tenure, publishing, teaching are all a constant challenge. Without creative, thoughtful professors where would we all be right now? I guess we'd be with Ramone?
I don't exactly disagree with your points on the language but you lost my respect with the academia comment so I can't get on your side on that one either.
Am I the only regular who thinks Ramone is actually "eigoobj" (read it backwards)?
Ian writes: 'Writers at our stage of the game have worked their lives to get here, and can't do anything else, just like you can't.'
I think you mean *won't* do anything else, not can't. I may not be at *your* stage of the game, but I have always made my living as a writer, and supplemented w/ cool gigs I enjoyed that fed my soul (and my writing) in other ways—including landscaper, clerk at a printshop, freelancer, teacher, and being an editor for a Christian ministry. Ian, your so-called 50% who are wishing they were doing Anything Else SHOULD go find something else that pays and that they enjoy…Hey, but let's be real. I have a feeling that you are projecting your own angst onto 50% of us—I bet that most folks are savvy enough to find a somewhat stimulating gig, and mature enough to realize that real life does involve trade-offs.
And b/c I happened to hit the Lucky Lotto triple sevens on my wedding day, I have had the *luxury* to pursue my other artistic interest—painting. I've already gotten four commissions and I must say selling these paintings has been more inspiring to me as an artist than either of the writing grants I got handed to me from government programs.
connor beach, quit it. You know what I mean. You're too smart for it.
Seriously, Ian, I don't know what you mean. Please elaborate. thanks!
Holly cow, my second mention in XTCIAN.
Let me try to expand on my short comment yesterday:
I said that no one I know (as in personally know) wants to simply make a living at their "art" but rather they are all interested in making it big. I am sure there are many people in "the business" who are happy making a living and getting by.
I am a huge fan of art and firmly believe that removing art from public schools and the public in general is a terrible idea and the damage already done must be reversed. In addition, I believe that artist should absolutely get paid what their "art" will bring in the market. However, I also believe that the writer for, say "Dexter", should get paid infinetly more than the writer for,oh, I don't know, say "The Real OC" and likewise, a great painting by Lou Posner may require a bit more green that one picked up in Venice Beach on Sunday. The reason the studios and TV producers can put the financial squeeze on so many people who operate in the business, including writers, is simply a matter of supply and demand. There is way more supply of folks trying to get in than there is demand and the result is obvious.
You have, on numerous occassions, bemoaned mediocrity in our society, and yet here you defending the status quo, which, when it comes to TV programing, is generally pathetic (with a few exceptions). Write your show, create your script and make it so good, so perfect, and so entertaining that you will get paid a living wage, and hopefully far more, but please don't pretend that what the nation is subjected to for hours a day on TV is art.
I believe your definition of Art is a bit overbroad. I cook up some great dishes sometime from my imagination, but it's food, not art and while some folks may like to consider what they do in a kitchen as such, ultimately, with the exception of a few sushi chefs, I disagree.
I agree with other commentors that a very large part of what is put on the TV today is absolute garbage. This cookie cutter crap may meet the definition of art as you define it but, in my opinion, it does not pass the definition as justice Stewart would have worded it ("I know it when I see it...").
While I am an advocate of no TV I am a huge abuser of the internet and have found that I have seen some great short films, dramas, music, etc. all put out in the great big WWW that are making the creators of this art money without the need for TV/big screen to affirm their success.
I believe that Art is an ever changing medium that is as much a part of being a human as consciousness, emotion and speech. From the play-doh creations of three-year-olds, to the street vendors in the third world, to the master painters, we (humans)create. We create bedtime stories for our children, songs in the shower, and dreadful poetry for our lovers, but we all create. Getting paid for it is an absolute bonus and I wish anyone and everyone who can make a living, and hopefully get filthy rich, the best but just because an artist is an artist doesn't mean he should get paid anymore than the fact that I am an attorney means I should get paid just for being an attorney. The truth is I must produce positive results or I'll be broke, just like everyone else, artist included.
Sorry, long rant and I'm not sure it makes any sense whatsoever. Nevertheless, I hope you guys the best and if you need a good entertainment attorney I just moved downtown.....
i paint my pictures because i love to paint my pictures even if i don't immediatly(or ever) like my pictures ,i really enjoy asking why.
OK, duh, I think I figured out what you meant, Ian. For the record, I've only posted under one other name and that's Yo! Thief! b/c I thought the voice demanded pseudepigraphy...All the others (Ramone, Cindy--funny, you must admit!, Algore, Nancy etc.) are my 49 yo, business-owning husband. Your blog definitely sparks discussion around the house, as you can imagine. I will tell him to stop commenting if you would like.
I think that your feelings about your work being devalued by society are universal. It seems to be the American way for companies/studios/business owners to make us all feel expendible. No matter how good you are at what you do, there is always someone out there who can take your place. The studios are making the writers feel that way, and the Insurance Job makes my fellow Cubicle Dwellers feel that way. I have a desk job with insurance and a regular paycheck, but I have been fired before, and statistics indicate that I will stumble through some other places of employment before I throw in the towel and retire.
Anyway, I am wishing you the best. And, congratulations to Lyle, Expat Mama! I have been wondering where you have been . . . now I know.
connor beach - that's cool. Just tell him to stick to one name, otherwise it's no fun.
ian, i'm late to the game on this one. and, since i have no energy to say anything really startling, except i live here and have slogged through the industry and understand the implications of the strike for you and our ilk, i just say ROCK ON. you have fans. you are understood by a handful of people. and you'll figure it out, even if it's painful...those who don't get it won't ever be convinced. sigh.
ok..at the risk of sounding utterly arrogant..here it goes.
art ( and the lower case is conscious) and its effect on society at large is much harder to measure then say health care or garbage collection. if you don't get medical care, you die. if the garbage isn't collected, its stinks.people bitch and make a stink. its corrected.
art deals in souls...and unfortunatley when souls start to stink, no one notices as clearly as the uncollected garbage.
i think that our current disconnect from art in the everyday has definitely contributed to the stench of complacency, greed, and arrogance we all collectively share as a country.
art is the window through which we contemplate who we are, where whe have come from, and how we perceive ourselves. art demands that we stop and see. and the possibilities in those moments can change are lives in ways we may not be aware of for many many years.
surely we should value those who chose art as a path at least as much as those who collect our garbage. in every work of art we have the hope of a truly secular spiritual enlightenment. each act of art has the potential to move us out of our expected path, to send the course of events spinning in another direction.
has there ever been a single moment in time when art and the artist could help to revive a sense of hope in the world ?
that must be valued. or else we have really lost any chance to reconnect to our basic humanity.
Please, please lets pay TV writers. Please.
1) Scripted television is better now than it has ever been, ever. There are amazing shows on TV - better than most movies, better even than some books. It's worth paying for.
2) If I have to watch another "reality" show with an artificially constructed "microcosm of humanity" pitting one against another with the goal of producing nothing but screaming, hair pulling and other vile displays of behavior I will, I promise you, puke.

2013 Fantasy football sleepers -- Ryan Broyles, WR, Lions
Someone has to step up opposite Calvin
Published: Jun 20, 2013
» Get updates via Sportsmail
This is the latest in our free, daily series of fantasy football sleepers, one from each NFL team. For full player rankings, stat projections and much more, join us at Fantasy Source Football.
It's tough not to root for Ryan Broyles. He was insanely productive at Oklahoma in college (4,586 yards, 48 touchdowns) and still holds the NCAA all-time record for career receptions (349). He seemed like a shoo-in to be a high first-round pick, but a torn ACL suffered midway through his senior season caused him to drop to the second round.
The Lions snapped him up even though they knew Broyles might not be ready for the start of the season. He only received one target through the first six weeks, but an injury to Nate Burleson forced him into action in Week 7. Broyles responded, catching 12 passes for 140 yards and two touchdowns over the next three games. After a lull in Weeks 10 and 11, Broyles caught six passes (12 targets) for 126 yards in Week 12. With Burleson still out and Titus Young suspended, it looked like Broyles was set for a big finish.
But the football gods had other ideas, as Broyles tore his other ACL and missed the rest of the season. At this point, it's fair to call Broyles injury-prone, but it's unclear how his latest injury will affect him. On one hand, he knows what it takes to rehab an injury like this; on the other -- and this can't be stressed enough -- he's torn both his ACLs. Last season's tear was suffered at a later point in the year than his ACL tear in college, but he still fully expects to be ready for Week 1 this season.
If he is, and if he's close to 100 percent, there's really no reason Broyles won't have a good year. Obviously, Calvin Johnson dominates the targets in Detroit, but he also dominates defensive attention. Broyles didn't get all those catches in college just because Oklahoma threw a lot. He's a savvy route runner with great hands, and he should be more comfortable in his second year in the NFL. Detroit threw almost 4.5 more passes per game than any other team, so the opportunities will be there.
Broyles will have to contend with Burleson and TE Brandon Pettigrew for targets, but that's really it among Detroit's secondary receivers. Given Burleson's checkered injury history and Pettigrew's propensity for drops, it's easy to imagine Broyles emerging as Matthew Stafford's security blanket on underneath routes. That will give him a little more value in PPR leagues.
It's tough to count on a player with an injury history like Broyles', but if you're able to get him as a mid-to-late-round WR4 in fantasy leagues, the risk is more than worth the reward.

HACKENSACK, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey city has settled a harassment lawsuit filed by the ex-girlfriend of the former deputy police chief for nearly $2.5 million.
Alessandra Viola began as a dispatcher with the Hackensack Police Department in 1998 and filed suit in 2009.
Viola claimed Police Chief Ken Zisa retaliated against her after she refused sexual advances from him and his brother, Deputy Chief Frank Zisa Jr., after she ended her relationship with Frank.
Frank resigned after Ken Zisa was arrested. The chief was later convicted of misconduct and insurance fraud.
City Manager Stephen Lo Iacono tells The Record newspaper (http://bit.ly/NF3MeZ ) the agreement with Viola is the largest of 14 settlements stemming from lawsuits linked in some way to the chief.

How enabling is the environment for civil society in your country – and how do you measure it? In the latest issue of Global Trends in NGO Law, ICNL examined eight assessment tools that seek to measure civil society's enabling environment, among which is the Monitoring Matrix on Enabling Environment for Civil Society Development, developed by BCSDN.
With the aim to contribute for further improvement of the programming of IPA assistance to civil society, BCSDN has prepared comments and recommendations on the Multi-Country 2014-2015 IPA Civil Society Facility and Media Action document. Our comments are based on the policy workshop on Aid Modalities for CS support under the new IPA 2014-2020 held in Brussels in September 2013, and the findings from the Regional Report under the Monitoring Matrix for Enabling Environment for CSDev.
The Department for Local Governance and Integrated Development of the Institute for Democracy and Mediation (IDM) organized the kickoff event of the "Monitoring and Assessment of the Decentralization Process in Albania" Project funded by Swiss Development Cooperation. The activity was organized at Rogner Hotel in Tirana on 25 July 2014.
Civic Initiatives published an analysis of the legal framework and practice related to public spaces and their accessibility to civil society organizations and informal youth groups in southern Serbia and Sandzak. The analysis deals with the accessibility of public spaces in nine cities of the two regions: Vranje, Bujanovac, Preshevo, Novi Pazar, Tutin, Sjenica, Novi Varosh, Priboj and Prijepole.

hi there.
built my first workbench and trying to finish up by installing my vise and attaching the benchtop which I made out of 3 layers of 3/4" MDF. I began to install my Eclipse quick release vise but have run into a roadblock. I am not sure how to install the front portion of the vise. I cut the benchtop to allow for the rear portion to be inset but now am not sure if i have to drill or cut into my bench's apron. I have attached pics to better show what i am describing.
Any help on how to finish this would be appreciated.

Book Description:
The great war epic of Western literature, translated by acclaimed classicist Robert Fagles Dating to the ninth century B.C., Homer's timeless poem still vividly conveys the horror and heroism of men and gods wrestling with towering emotions and battling amidst devastation and destruction, as it moves inexorably to the wrenching, tragic conclusion of the Trojan War. Renowned classicist Bernard Knox observes in his superb introduction that although the violence of the Iliad is grim and relentless, it coexists with both images of civilized life and a poignant yearning for peace. Combining the skills of a poet and scholar, Robert Fagles, winner of the PEN/Ralph Manheim Medal for Translation and a 1996 Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, brings the energy of contemporary language to this enduring heroic epic. He maintains the drive and metric music of Homer's poetry, and evokes the impact and nuance of the Iliad's mesmerizing repeated phrases in what Peter Levi calls an astonishing performance." This Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition also features French flaps and deckle-edged paper.

Super Bowl a bust for Broadway
Shows, including tourist-beloved stalwarts such as "Wicked" and "The Lion King," take a big hit during Super Bowl week as football fans stay away.
AP Drama Writer
Northwest travel guides
NEW YORK — Super Bowl week turned into mostly a super bust for Broadway.
Data from The Broadway League shows box office grosses declined $2.4 million and ticket buyers fell by more than 15,000 for the week ending Sunday, despite the influx of thousands of tourists descending on the New York City area for the big game.
The week ending Sunday brought in $16,714,694 and 183,092 in attendance, the League said Monday. The week before, the League reported a haul of $19,122,428 for its 26 shows, with 198,773 in attendance.
Most shows took a hit in both revenue and ticket buyers, and even the stalwarts on Broadway fell: "Wicked" tumbled $195,674 from the previous week, and "The Lion King" lost $315,444. Both lost more than 1,000 patrons, too.
One bright spot was the Mark Rylance-led Shakespeare's Globe productions of "Twelfth Night" and "Richard III," which grossed $907,000, a new one-week record for the Belasco Theatre.
Broadway producers tried to grab the attention of football fans crowding Times Square with a two-for-one ticket promotion and performances around Times Square by such shows as "Pippin," "Newsies," "Motown the Musical," "Rocky," "Mamma Mia!" and "Chicago." The casts of "Jersey Boys" and "Rock of Ages" played outside MetLife Stadium in the hours before the game. Many Broadway shows altered their show schedules to take advantage of the crowds.
Three current and former NFL stars — Randall Cobb, Joique Bell and Ahman Green — even made their Broadway stage debuts in small parts in "Rock of Ages" last week. But for all that, the show's box office declined $61,660 to a total of $289,178 over eight performances.
Even a rare show about sports — "Bronx Bombers" about the New York Yankees — failed to be a home run with so many tourists in town for the big game. The show fell $20,085 from the week before to pull in only $137,015.

Wonderful and substantial art nouveau design in four colors, including the deep rich brown background glaze, from Pilkington's* (I have identified this tile as being from Pilkington's based upon the attribution of this back by Austwick to that firm, however, the back does not have the embossed "P" found on Pilkington's tiles and so I believe it is more likely a tile made by the Marsden Tile Co. Ltd--whichever frim made it it is a strong nouveau design.) Tile is in very good condition with some smoke staining on reverse from its previous use in a firebox and a slight upper right corner nick; crazing throughout and a fine, glossy glaze. Please write with any questions you may have.
