In Salon, Thomas Frank laments the wasted opportunity of the Obama years. "Why, the visitors to his library will wonder, did the president do so little about rising inequality, the subject on which he gave so many rousing speeches? Why did he do nothing, or next to nothing, about the crazy high price of a college education, the Great Good Thing that he has said, time and again, determines our personal as well as national success? Why didn't he propose a proper healthcare program instead of the confusing jumble we got? Why not a proper stimulus package? Why didn't he break up the banks? Or the agribusiness giants, for that matter?"
Frank's piece is definitely a bit overwritten, with its "mausoleum of hope" and all. That being said, I'm on board with his central thesis, as I've said several times before. (In fact, I was glad to see when fixing the old archives lately, that however hopey-changey I felt in 2008, I was more measured in my writing than I remembered, bringing up the ominous example of Herbert Hoover in my post-election post and wondering what the heck was going on within two weeks of Obama's inauguration.)
Also, to get a sense of what a bad place our party is at these days, just look at Kevin Drum's ridiculous response to this Tom Frank piece. Drum, mind you, is the official blogger of Mother Jones, named after the famous labor leader. And he writes: "It's easy to recognize this as delusional…Because — duh — the hated neoliberal system worked. We didn't have a second Great Depression. The Fed intervened, the banking system was saved, and a stimulus bill was passed…As for Obama, could he have done more? I suppose he probably could have, but it's a close call."
A close call? C'mon. As I responded on Twitter: "And all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds. This neoliberal horseshit would've made Mother Jones blanch. This piece sidesteps O's GWOT record. 2. It ignores O's penchant for starting negotiations where they should finish. 3. It presumes filibuster reform impossible. 4. It ignores that financial crisis response grew inequality. And so on."
And, remember: This fatalistic "Americans are all centrists anyway, Obama did all he could" shrug is coming from the house blogger of one of our foremost progressive journals. It's pathetic. This is yet another example of we progressive Democrats no longer having the courage of our convictions.
See also this very worthwhile Salon piece on Zephyr Teachout's challenge to notorious douchebag Andrew Cuomo, by my friend and colleague Matt Stoller, which talks about this exact same phenomenon.
"The basic theory of the 'New Democrat' model of governance is that Wall Street and multinational corporate elites produce wealth through the creation of innovative financial practices and technology, and that Democrats should then help middle class and poor citizens by taxing this wealth, and then using some of it to support progressive social programs…This method of running the economy has become so accepted among Democratic leaders that writers like New York Times columnist Paul Krugman and Vox writer Matthew Yglesias now argue that there simply is no alternative…
"There is a hunger in the Democratic Party for making the party serve the interest of regular voters, not the rich. In 2008, liberal Democrats decisively broke from the Clinton legacy and voted for Barack Obama, with his mantra of hope and change. Obama, however, stocked his administration with Clinton administration officials like Larry Summers, Tim Geithner and Janet Yellen. A joke going around Democratic circles after the election was that 'Those supporting Obama got a president, those supporting Clinton got a job.' Obama broke with the Clinton name, but brought the Clinton intellectual legacy, and Clinton's Wall Street-backed machine, into governance…"
"The potentially transformative message of the Teachout-Wu campaign is that the problem is not solely one of personalities or tactical political approaches. Rather it is that the New Democrat model itself, and the Democratic party establishment, is fundamentally at odds with the party's traditional liberalism…Teachout and Wu are trying to place the citizen at the center of policy. They do that through their proposals for public financing, for antitrust, for social insurance, infrastructure and labor."
Without vision, the people perish. If we ever want to see the real and positive change that Americans were promised back in 2008, we progressives have to stop acting like we have no other option than to fall into line behind the leftiest of the centrists and clap harder for every occasional, diluted-to-all-hell scrap they throw our way. There's more to life than Rockefeller Republicanism, and it's not like we don't have excellent historical templates to borrow from. We need to dream bigger, stop thinking the status quo is all there is, and push back.
Are Zephyr Teachout and Tim Wu going to knock out Andrew Cuomo, a guy who's quite obviously the poster child for everything that's wrong with our party? Alas, probably not. But one does not always fight because there is hope of winning. And New York in 2014 is as a good a place as any to start the long uphill slog of taking back our party.
Meanwhile, Blake Zeff thinks Cuomo may have met his match in US Attorney Preet Bharara. "[Bharara] has not only taken possession of the files from the corruption-fighting Moreland Commission that Cuomo recently closed down as part of a budget deal, but has also publicly floated the possibility of investigating the governor's alleged meddling in its investigations."
A late addition to this recent and well-deserved pile-on: Friend and fellow congressional staffer Matt Stoller writes in Vice on Geithner's Stress Test and the "Con-Artist Wing of the Democratic Party." "The task of reclaiming democratic power will involve making work at Geithner's Treasury a black mark on a resume, an embarrassment and a shameful episode…Americans are not stupid, and they saw what Geithner, as the head economic official in a Democratic administration, did."
In the NYRB, and in very related news, Paul Krugman sings the praises of Thomas Piketty's new magnum opus, Capital in the 21st Century. "This is a book that will change both the way we think about society and the way we do economics…Piketty has transformed our economic discourse; we'll never talk about wealth and inequality the same way we used to."
As a counterpoint of sorts, CEPR's Dean Baker — neither a Pollyanna nor a conservative — argues Piketty has picked up some of Marx's bad habits, and finds the book too deterministic and despairing by far:
"[T]here are serious grounds for challenging Piketty's vision of the future…the book [suffers from a] lack of attentiveness to institutional detail…In the past, progressive change advanced by getting some segment of capitalists to side with progressives against retrograde sectors. In the current context this likely means getting large segments of the business community to beat up on financial capital…[T]he point is that capitalism is far more dynamic and flexible than the way Piketty presents it in this book. Given that we will likely be stuck with it long into the future, that is good news."
Update: Galbraith weighs in. "[This] is a weighty book, replete with good information on the flows of income, transfers of wealth, and the distribution of financial resources in some of the world's wealthiest countries…Yet he does not provide a very sound guide to policy. And despite its great ambitions, his book is not the accomplished work of high theory that its title, length, and reception (so far) suggest."
In The Guardian, Gary Younge laments anew the missed opportunities of Barack Obama's presidency. "If there was a plot, he's lost it. If there was a point, few can remember it. If he had a big idea, he shrank it. If there's a moral compass powerful enough to guide such contradictions to more consistent waters, it is in urgent need of being reset."
Sigh. If anything, this was all true of the first term too. As John Maynard Keynes said of another ostensibly progressive president a century ago, "[t]he disillusion was so complete that some of those who had trusted most hardly dared speak of it."
A day before the big show, Joshua Keating's consistently funny If It Happened There column at Slate looked at the State of the Union. "Members of the opposition typically do not applaud, though they occasionally join in with approval of paeans to the nation's powerful military, the leaders of which typically sit stone-faced in front of the gallery."
Which, of course, is exactly what happened. There are innumerable things Congress could be doing right now to create jobs, spur opportunity, expand the frontiers of knowledge, and generally make life better for families in America. Some of them — raising the minimum wage, ensuring equal pay for women, investing in infrastructure and early childhood education, admitting climate change is happening and proceeding accordingly — were even mentioned in Obama's remarks, not that we can expect much in Year Six of this presidency (and an election year to boot.)
But with all due respect to Sgt. Remsburg's sacrifice, when the only thing all of our nation's legislators can get effusive about is venerating Americans wounded in battle, the republic is in a bad way indeed. As James Fallows put it: "[W]hile that moment reflected limitless credit on Sgt. Remsburg…I don't think the sustained ovation reflected well on the America of 2014…the spectacle should make most Americans uneasy." That it should – The last refuge of scoundrels and all that.
ICYMI, If It Happened There has aptly covered the Superbowl also. "The ethics of such an event can be hard for outsiders to understand. Fans, who regularly watch players being carted off the field with crippling injuries, are unbothered by reports of the game's lasting medical impact on its players. Nevertheless, fans and the national media can become extremely indignant if players are excessively boastful at the game's conclusion."
Speaking of the handegg finals — as usual, also not lacking for tawdry paeans to militarism — congrats to the Seahawks on a convincing Superbowl XLVIII win. As I said on Twitter, I had no real dog in this fight – I was just happy to see the two states with sane marijuana laws karmically rewarded for their forward thinking.
In his recent major encyclical, Evangelii Gaudium, Pope Francis calls out the obvious shenanigans that is trickle-down economics, and has some choice words for the financial sector:
"How can it be that it is not a news item when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure, but it is news when the stock market loses two points?" "This imbalance is the result of ideologies which defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation…To all this we can add widespread corruption and self-serving tax evasion, which have taken on worldwide dimensions. The thirst for power and possessions knows no limits. In this system, which tends to devour everything which stands in the way of increased profits, whatever is fragile, like the environment, is defenseless before the interests of a deified market, which become the only rule."
I already sung the praises of this Pope a few months ago, but it can't be said enough: this Holy Father is such a breath of fresh air. His recent courage in this regard even encouraged our President to make his own quite-good speech about income inequality last week: "So let me repeat: The combined trends of increased inequality and decreasing mobility pose a fundamental threat to the American Dream, our way of life, and what we stand for around the globe."
Unfortunately — like Obama's Osowatomie speech in 2011 and his election night speech in 2012 — this seems to be just another example of Obama's rhetorical tourism on the progressive front. He's talked a good game — on the occasions when he's not hippie-punching or parroting Third Way — for close to five years now. But where's the action to back this rhetoric up? After years of his touting grand bargains and deficit hysteria and allowing sequestration, and looking at the emerging budget deal, I'm not holding my breath. Whatever happens the next three years, it's already past clear that the tremendous, once-in-a-generation opportunity granted to Obama in 2008 to effect real and positive change has, unfortunately, been wasted.
Update: Pope Francis is TIME's Person of the Year. A worthy choice, though I would've probably have gone with Edward Snowden.
Assessing the failure of the healthcare.gov rollout, Mike Konczal makes the case for returning to the old ways. "[T]he Category B grouping, which we associate with the New Deal and the Great Society…creates a universal floor so that individuals don't experience basic welfare goods as commodities to buy and sell themselves…My man Franklin Delano Roosevelt may not have known about JavaScript and agile programming, but he knew a few things about the public provisioning of social insurance, and he realized the second category, while conceptually more work for the government, can eliminate a lot of unnecessary administrative problems."
Of course, Social Security had rollout problems too. And progressives at the time definitely lamented the concessions that were made as Social Security evolved from bill to law, including the exclusion of agricultural and domestic laborers [re: African-Americans] from the law. (Frances Perkins: "The whole thing has been chiseled down to a conservative pattern.")
That being said, I think it's important to keep this in mind every time the right starts complaining about byzantine complexities in the Affordable Care Act: We could've avoided many of these issues if this change-bringing administration hadn't immediately ruled out the obvious progressive solution to the health care problem — a single-payer system of Medicare-for-all, like most other advanced industrialized nations enjoy, perhaps phased in with an immediate voluntary buy-in and a gradual lowering of the coverage age.
Instead, we adopted the Republicans' proposal, the marketplace/exchanges plan originally conceived by the Heritage Foundation and enacted by Mitt Romney, without even including a public option to keep the insurers honest. And what'd we get for this ginormous unforced concession to the right? Nothing. Republicans still didn't support the health care law in 2010, and they've screamed holy hell that it's tyrannical government socialism for the past three-odd years — even though it was their plan to begin with.
Now, they're deliberately sabotaging implementation of the ACA and trying to pin every misstep, including this rather sad website #fail, as a failure of the liberal project. As Konczal aptly points out, what's failing here is the NEO-liberal project — the desire to embrace public-private, technocratic conservative ideas of a generation ago (see also: cap & trade), in the hopes that today's conservatives will somehow be intellectually honest enough to support them too. That is a sucker's bet every time.
One other important takeaway from this article: "[I]f all the problems are driven by means-testing, state-level decisions and privatization of social insurance, the fact that the core conservative plan for social insurance is focused like a laser beam on means-testing, block-granting and privatization is a rather large problem. As Ezra Klein notes, 'Paul Ryan's health-care plan — and his Medicare plan — would also require the government to run online insurance marketplaces.'"
In other words, here again conservatives are decrying exactly what they ostensibly espouse. Perhaps a better way forward on fundamental pieces of legislation, instead of playing Lucy and the football with the Republicans, is to try to enact our own ideas from now on.
Update: In Foreign Affairs, Kimberly Morgan makes much the same argument: "The real source of Obamacare's current problems lies in the law's complexity. A straightforward way to assure coverage would have been to extend an existing, well-worn program to more people…In the United States, [due to] political antipathy to government programs…policymakers regularly rig up complex public-private, and often federal-state, arrangements that are opaque to the public, difficult to administer, and inefficient in their operation."
In other words, the best lack all conviction while the worst are full of passionate intensity. Or put another way: "It's a Madhouse…a Madhouse!" So, yeah, this is my day job, and, sad to say, it's mostly been like this since 2010: Two-to-three days out of the week, the House votes to repeal, defund, delay, or otherwise hamstring the Affordable Care Act. On the off day, it usually pays homage to some other deeply stupid and destructive Republican shibboleth, like, say, scrapping literacy programs, gutting the EPA, or kicking four million poor people off of Food Stamps.
That's business as usual 'round these parts, and this idiotic, self-inflicted shutdown is just the apotheosis of the creeping crazy that has afflicted the House over the past three years. On the off-chance that people just might get better access to affordable health insurance — from a free-market-based plan originally conceived and enacted by Republicans, mind you — the GOP have now completely shut down the federal government. And since it's looking like America just isn't backing their play on this, the GOP already have their eye set on a bigger hostage: the nation's credit rating. Here's Clownshoes Ryan on this: "I think it will fold into the debt-ceiling fight. I think that's inevitable, and preferable in my opinion…I like combining all of our leverage, which is sequester and the debt limit."
That Ryan quote brings up an important and often-overlooked point about this current madness: There is a method to it, and for the GOP — however bad the headlines — this is mostly going according to plan. For, absent all the Sturm und Drang surrounding the Affordable Care Act, when it comes to the actual budget situation: The Democrats have (once again) already caved, and the Republicans will almost assuredly be getting the Austerity Economy they so desire. To wit:
Dave Dayen: "The new fiscal year, which begins October 1, is the natural moment to assess the harm sequestration has wrought, and fix it to prevent more damage. But the extreme nature of the House Republican demands has made a 'clean' budget resolution with spending cuts intact the compromise position in the debate."
Digby: "The Democrats already folded. Sequestration is now the ongoing law of the land and Paul Ryan's budget wet dream is considered the 'clean' continuing resolution…the Democrats have been losing on policy every step of the way since these budget battles began, even as they seem to be winning the politics. What could be more telling than the fact that the numbers in Paul Ryan's budget are now considered the starting point in any new negotiations to end the shutdown?"
Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA): "It's baffling to me that the Republicans aren't claiming victory. I've talked to a lot of them, privately, and a lot of them say, 'Yeah, this is what we want. We should call it a day.'"
The point being, and with the caveat that a crisis situation has its own dangerously combustive logic — who knows what happens once ambitious, patently amoral dudebros like Ted Cruz and Paul Ryan call the shots? — the ACA fight is mostly a big shiny object to keep the fringiest of the right-wing loons happy and everyone else distracted. However much further down the rabbit hole the Republicans intend to take us — and it seems like they now want this to bleed right into the debt ceiling fight for maximum destructiveness — they've already got what they wanted in many of the ways that matter. They're happier than a pig in slop whenever government seems broken. They rejoice every time lazy Beltway media pundits shrug and publish he-said, she-said stories about DC dysfunction. And they for all intent and purposes won their Austerity budget the moment Senate Democrats sent back and began pushing a "clean"-CR — meaning a government funded at sequester levels — as the compromise solution.
So, yeah, it's a demoralizing time in Washington and no mistake — especially since, if anything, we'll be lucky if the White House doesn't try to step into the breach with another social-insurance-slashing Grand Bargain at some point. Hope and Change! But ah well, at least they keep making movies.
Per Mike Konczal of Rortybomb, writing over at Next New Deal: In 2012, the Top 1% (notwithstanding capital gains, which only slightly changes the picture) took home the largest share of the national income since 1928. Socialism!
In a less-than-positive review of the administration's recently-proposed higher education reforms — in short, Race to the Bottom for colleges — Tim Burke attempts to explain the madness behind Obama's technocratic method. "Technocrats live in the wonderland of the question marks in the Underpants Gnomes business model, endlessly fussing over the exact terms of Point #1 and certain that the Profit! of #3 will follow."
Also, I said this in the Virtually Speaking chat the other day, but we've tried this sort of business-minded technocratic leadership before in America — It didn't pan out. (Burke post by way of Tropics of Meta.)
Ask yourself: If you could steal $125 million, with the only downside being that if you got caught you might have to give the money back and lose a single day's income, would you give it a go? Me too."
It's tempting to hate on FERC for agreeing to this sucker's deal, but let's face it, this type of wink-and-a-nod, Potemkin oversight is endemic across our supposed regulatory agencies. (See also: the (lack of) fallout from JP Morgan's Whale Trade.)
It used to be, not even all that long ago, people and companies who engaged in systemic energy and financial fraud went to prison. Now…not so much. Today, they not only continue to be treated as esteemed citizens by the highest levels of government — They even have the temerity to complain they're being over regulated.
Meanwhile, our ostensibly progressive administration spends much of its days trying to prosecute whistleblowers and poor people to the fullest extent of the law. Some system. Honestly, if you're not disgusted at this point, you're not paying attention.
After four years of inaction, CEPR examines the costs of a stagnant minimum wage. Conversely, raising the minimum to $10.10 an hour — as supported by 80% of Americans — would create an estimated 300,000 jobs and add $33 billion to the economy. So you'd think Congress would get on that, yes? Umm…
In very related news, a new AP poll finds that, as a result of stagnant wages, income inequality, and a deteriorating job market, fully 80% of Americans experience poverty, unemployment, and deprivation at some point in their lives. "By 2030, based on the current trend of widening income inequality, close to 85 percent of all working-age adults in the U.S. will experience bouts of economic insecurity." The American Dream, now with Vegas casino odds.
CEPR's Dean Baker, one of the only economists to anticipate the collapse of the housing bubble, calls out his many colleagues currently collaborating in the deficit witchhunt. [Y]oung people today can expect many more years of dire labor market conditions, because the remedies that could turn around their job situations have been blocked by nonsense spewing from economists. Incidentally, this situation works out very nicely for those on top, who are enjoying the benefits of record-high profit shares, which have also helped to fuel a soaring stock market."
Along very similar lines, here's James K. Galbraith on the state of economics in 2002:
|"Leading active members of today's economics profession, the generation presently in their 40s and 50s, have joined together into a kind of politburo for correct economic thinking. As a general rule — as one might expect from a gentleman's club — this has placed them on the wrong side of every important policy issue, and not just recently but for decades. They predict disaster where none occurs. They deny the possibility of events that then happen. They offer a "rape is like the weather" fatalism about an "inevitable" problem (pay inequality) that then starts to recede. They oppose the most basic, decent, and sensible reforms, while offering placebos instead. They are always surprised when something untoward (like a recession) actually occurs.
And when finally they sense that some position cannot be sustained, they do not re-examine their ideas. Instead, they simply change the subject. No one loses face, in this club, for having been wrong. No one is disinvited from presenting papers at later annual meetings. And still less is anyone from the outside invited in. Only the occasional top-insider-turned-dissident — this year the admirable Stiglitz — can reliably count on getting a hearing.
Put another way, when it comes to our elected representatives, the best lack all conviction while the worst are full of a passionate intensity. A new study finds politicians consistently overstate the conservatism of the American electorate. Which may be why we're all very busy discussing ridiculous cuts to everything in Washington right now, instead of working harder to create jobs and foster economic growth.
In very related news, the Dow reaches a new high — 14,164 — even as household income hits a decade low. "As a percentage of national income, corporate profits stood at 14.2 percent in the third quarter of 2012, the largest share at any time since 1950, while the portion of income that went to employees was 61.7 percent, near its lowest point since 1966."
As CERN in Switzerland becomes the new frontier in particle discoveries, physicists worry the United States is falling behind. "How such efforts will fare in this age of sequestration and federal cutbacks is unknown, he admitted, but particle physics has produced important spinoffs into medicine, including imaging devices and beams to treat cancer, and in materials science."
It's not just pandas and sea lions: Chris Good of ABC News lists fifty-seven terrible consequences America can expect from the looming sequestration, the deep automatic cuts resulting from the August 2011 debt ceiling deal that — unless action is taken — are set to go into effect on March 1st. Among the probable damage: 700,000 jobs lost. "With the House in recess and with Obama playing golf [with oilmen] over the weekend, a deal does not appear imminent."
There's a lot of back-and-forth going on in Washington right now about whose fault these lousy sequesters are. Clearly, the GOP loved the idea back when, and they're the ones preventing any action on averting the cuts now. So make no mistake — if these deep and indiscriminate cuts go into effect, it'll be because the GOP wants them. It's the same reason they hold up disaster relief constantly, and are currently holding the US Postal Service hostage — Because they seem to get an ideological kick out of seeing Big Guvmint fail at its basic responsibilities.
That being said, let's remember: The president handed House Republicans a loaded gun. It takes a very short-term view of things to forget how, throughout 2010, 2011, and 2012, President Obama actively fomented the deficit witchhunt, and continued to promote both Simpson-Bowles and a deadly Grand Bargain even as it became patently obvious that investment, spending, and economic growth should be the order of the day. (By the way: Not in the Simpson-Bowles package of deficit-defeating awesomeness? The corporate tax loophole that just made Erskine Bowles $114,000.)
In short, this lousy sequester is the GOP's baby, yes. But it's also the ultimate consequence of both parties trafficking in unresponsible hysteria over a phantom problem for years one end. Now the chickens have come home to roost, and our fragile economic recovery, weakened by several years without any serious stimulus, faces a real crisis. Let's be clear: This crisis was not caused by the illusory danger of deficits, but because Republicans and the administration both, when the chips were down in August 2011, elided over basic economic sense and instead embraced the nonsense of austerity.
Update: The Story of the Sequester in GIF form, via AFSCME, and Sequestered Development, a not particularly inspired mash-up of Arrested Development and recent events.
In Rolling Stone, Matt Taibbi explains how and why the Justice Department refused to prosecute HSBC for sundry violations of the law. In short, they were Too Big to Jail. "An arrestable class and an unarrestable class. We always suspected it, now it's admitted. So what do we do?"
In related news, Wall Street bankers throw one of their customary hissyfits over a gaggle of fully complicit, bought-and-paid-for regulators finally being asked a hard question or two by the Senate Banking Committee — thanks to its and our new champion, Senator Elizabeth Warren. "The anonymous banker followed up [with Politico, naturally]: 'Elizabeth Warren and Ted Cruz are dueling for the title of 'most extreme fringe freshman senator."
Anonymous Banker, let me choose my words carefully: Go fuck yourself. If this administration's promises of change-we-can-believe-in were worth a dime, you and so many others would be doing hard time right about now.

Unraveling: Wholesale bypass and cheap imports continue to lower prices and hurt demand
IBISWorld's Men's & Boys' Apparel Wholesaling market research report provides the latest industry statistics and industry trends, allowing you to identify the products and customers driving revenue growth and profitability. The industry report identifies the leading companies and offers strategic industry analysis of the key factors influencing the market.
The economic recession has had a dismal effect on men's and boys' apparel wholesalers. With decreased discretionary spending in 2008 and 2009, retailers have been offering deep discounts to consumers to retain sales. Due to weak downstream demand, wholesalers were left with excess inventories and slashed prices to move stock. In their ongoing quest to cut expenditures and sustain margins, retailers have been sourcing directly from manufacturers, causing wholesalers to cut prices to remain relevant in the apparel supply chain. Meanwhile, due to cheap foreign labor, retailers are enticed with low-cost imports. As a result, wholesalers are left with lower demand... purchase to read more
It is relatively inexpensive to set up wholesale operations, but there can be a high cost to the long-term nature of establishing brand names, which is a major source of product differentiation. Small distributors find it hard to compete for large downstream sales accounts, which have traditionally been the domain of major direct sales. Also, independent distributors are usually required to pay dues, buy franchises or pay a percentage of their profit. Small wholesalers cannot afford this cost. Additionally, many large and branded clothing companies control their entire supply chains, limiting third party wholesalers from establishing supply contracts with them... purchase to read more
Businesses in this industry purchase men's and boys' clothing from apparel manufacturers and sell these products to retailers, generally with minimal or no further product development. Most wholesalers in this industry undertake sales and administrative activities such as establishing relationships with manufacturers and retailers, marketing and advertising their products, and storing and transporting stock.

In 1985 mass murderer Remeta and his companions killed their way through the South, and then descended on Grainfield, Kan., like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, leaving death, pain and misery in their wake.
Trey Sesler was a big fan of Japanese animated films. Still living with his parents his life seemed to have stalled, but the young man won a modest amount of Internet fame for some reviews he posted on YouTube as "Mr. Anime." Anime was not his only interest however; he had other things on his mind, namely murder.
Chardon High School Shooter T.J. Lane was sentenced on March 18, 2013, for the murders of three students in the school's cafeteria. Families of the victims were given the opportunity to make statements to Lane, who didn't miss a single opportunity to show the world how how pleased he is with himself,
On February 2, 1996, Barry Loukaitis decided that it would be "fun" to enter his algebra class with a high-powered rifle, two pistols, seventy-eight rounds of ammunition and go on a killing spree. What turns kids into killers?
On January, 8, 2011, Jared Lee Loughner went to a Safeway supermarket in Tuscon where his target, Representative Gabrielle Giffords, was holding a meeting. He opened fire, critically injuring Giffords and killing six others, including a judge and a 9-year-old girl.
Dr. Welner, Forensic Psychologist and Chairman of the Forensic Panel, offers insight and hope regarding the Sandy Hook massacre on ABC's popular show The View, discussing the role of guns, mental illness, the media and the individual, in cases of mass murder.
A chilling, and very short, 911 call was received, "'No, no, no,' and then gunshots. … A male party then picks up the phone and says he's going to kill himself. The dispatcher hears another gunshot."
A workplace-related dispute in New York erupted into mass shooting and homicide today when Jeffrey Johnson, 58, shot and killed Steven Ercolino, 41, the man who allegedly had him fired from his job at Hazan Import Corp. in 2011.
Norwegian prosecutors have asked for convicted mass murderer Anders Breivik to be transferred to a mental institution, rather than face prison. It is likely, however, that the defense will dispute the request, because, as Breivik has stated in the past, he believes that putting his sanity on trial is the prosecution's way of rendering his cause, and commitment to it, ridiculous.
Norwegians were shaken to the core after Anders Behring Breivik went on a bombing and shooting rampage, leaving 77 of his fellow citizens dead. But he said the killings were necessary to save his homeland from an Islamic invasion.

Animated Video: Rescuing a chained dog
This video is from Ashley Owen Hill Animal Rescue and depicts a rescuer trying to urge an individual who has chained their dog in their yard to turn it over to them.
I've never seen anything quite like this. It's a little on the strange side but affective in getting across the message that tethering dogs is wrong.
Warning – the language is not suitable for younger viewers.
One Response to "Animated Video: Rescuing a chained dog"
Laughing! I love this! Just love this! Thanks for posting!

Veteran cruise book author Kay Showker considers repositioning cruises "about the best value in cruising," compared with a regular cruise on the same ship. Many old salts not only find these longer voyages relaxing because of a large number of days spent crossing the pond or the Pacific but also because they usually are not filled to capacity, and, therefore, Showker notes, "the whole tempo of the ship is more low key." Travel specialist Nancy Kelly, head of Oak Brook-based Kelly Cruises in Chicago, sees other benefits. "Some cruise lines," she said, "will offer a special theme on repositioning cruises, so you may be traveling with like-minded people for a big band cruise, jazz cruise, wine and food festival, film and theater or perhaps health and fitness." For instance, Disney Cruise Lines brings aboard extra performers such as cast members from some of its Broadway shows or renowned musicians such as Boyz II Men to brighten days at sea.

Of course, there also is the silly stuff that makes a repositioning cruise more like a fortnight at camp. As part of its tradition on trans-Atlantic and Panama Canal sailings, for instance, Disney lets passengers enter a boat-building competition.
With this year's race across the oceans, Kelly noted, "there are hundreds of repositioning cruises to choose from." Kelly spotlighted Princess Cruises' 16-night Venetian Passage in October and Royal Caribbean International's 14-night westbound trans-Atlantic sailing in November as "so reasonably priced, you may feel giddy." (Fares start at $1,270 and $864 per person respectively.)
" Crystal Cruises is top-of-the-line six-star luxury," Kelly added, and offering free round-trip airfare, plus two-for-one rates, prepaid gratuities and a $2,000 As You Wish Shipboard Credit on its 10-night Big Band Celebration cruise from Lisbon to Miami in December, starting at $4,000.
Other lines too are offering deals sure to lure you to sea; here's a sampling:

James Harden over Dwyane Wade? Kevin Durant thinks so (Video)
- 9:43 pm Tuesday, September 24th, 2013 by Post Staff
Where should Heat star Dwyane Wade fall among the list of top NBA players to watch in the upcoming season?
In its list of the top 10 to watch for 2013-14, Sports Illustrated put — no surprise — LeBron James at No. 1 and Kevin Durant at No. 2. SI also has Wade listed at No. 8.
But Durant isn't so sure Wade belongs in that list. While talking with CineSport's Noah Coslov, the Thunder star heard SI's full top 10 and felt the list needed a bit of rearranging. Click after the jump to watch the video and to see the Twitter spat it started:

- 5:39 pm Wednesday, January 16th, 2013 by Ethan J. Skolnick
If not for the Heat's recent issues, there would be more of a celebratory feel to tonight's game in Oakland.
LeBron James is just 18 points away from beating Kobe Bryant by more than a year, and becoming the youngest in NBA history to 20,000 points. James turned 28 on Dec. 30.
"What's most remarkable about is that since LeBron James came into the league, oftentimes he's a facilitator, and he's been criticized for that, many times during his time with us," Erik Spoelstra said. "And scoring, while it is just one of the things he does, he does it as well [More]

Kevin Durant is now 2nd, followed by Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose.
Dwyane Wade is 7th.
The Lakers have three players on the list: Dwight Howard is 9th and Steve Nash is 13th.
That's also the number of coaches the Lakers have had this season.

i4i: "OpenOffice Doesn't Infringe Our Patents"
On August 11, a court in Texas banned the sale of Microsoft Word in the US due to a patent lawsuit, concerning XML features, brought by the Canadian company i4i.
Since the ruling, the question of patents regarding OpenOffice has also been raised, but according to an article on Government Computer News, OpenOffice has nothing to fear. "i4i said it has looked at OpenOffice and found it doesn't infringe on its patents" GCN reports.
The Toronto based i4i is not a patent-troll. The company has been working with XML technology since 1993. The ban covers all versions of Word capable of opening XML, DOCX or DOCM files that contain custom XML code. (Word 2003 and earlier).
Not a patent troll?!!They are using a patent for income. Sounds like a patent troll to me.
And thanks to their precedent it's going to be extremely difficult for anyone in the future to invalidate bad patents.
A little fuzzy reportingThe first Working Draft of XML was done in 1996.

I sent you private mail and I do not want another login and registration which will be public. What I am asking is simple, why do you have a external javascript file going to your site. I DO NOT WANT to be DEPENDENT on YOUR SITE for the JS. IF IT IS SLOW or DOWN , THAN MY SITE WILL SUFFER .
that JS file is part of the ribbon that comes down from the top and lets you change between our themes. It's NOT part of the theme and was never advertised as part of it.
You can delete the line that contains the link to this JS.
hi there.
how can i change the links of the animated slider (on the first page) to open in an NEW window? didn´t find anything in your documentation…
hello Absoluto, we do not believe in giving support over the comments section of a project, so we've created a forum on our website to make this thing more easy to follow and get responses.
So, please head over to our dedicated Support Forum here: http://themefuse.com/forum, create an account and post your question there. Our support team will help you out in no time.
posted in your forum…
thx, we'll reply shortly
Correction: The WordPress version is. I purchased a "Developer" license directly from the developer (ThemeFuse) for their WordPress theme, and my site was compromised by their use of "thumb.php". Please disregard previous comment unless you're considering the WordPress version.
It has been fixed in the latest update, so please redownload the theme and install it. All our WP themes have been patched to remove that vulnerability.
I love this theme. I have however noticed something.
Only on the homepage (index.html) and in IE9 when you rollover the social icons on the bottom left of the page, the bottom footer section that has the links shifts a few pixels to the left. I refresh the browser and same thing each and everytime I roll over the social icons. Stange thing is that it doesn't happen on any page and yet the code for that footer section appears to be the same.
I've tried it in Firefox and in safari and works fine there.
Odd it must be a IE9 issue only? You know how this browser compatibility issues are. We do our best every time to make it perfect in every browser, but sometimes little issues appear. We'll take a look.
Running Vista, IE8 – the template has all kind of issues. The navigation drop-down works couple of times then it stops, have to refresh. When scrolling the browser's window, background/padding for the testimonial is not stable rather showing in and out. When visiting an internal page and scrolling the browser's window the whole page content goes away… I thought I bought a good template and I've been using Mozilla to buy the item which did not have issues with it, but IE8 , Mozilla on Mac – have issues as was pointed to me after I purchased the template.
please post your question on our Support Forum and we will try to help with any issues encountered… http://themefuse.com/forum
The button styles doesn't come up correctly. The button is cut on the right side. It has to do with /images/buttons_bg.png
please post on our Support Forum (http://themefuse.com/forum) and our guys will fix this for you.
When I purchased this theme a while ago, it was a WP theme. I no longer have it so I came back to download it again. But its the html version only. Any way I can re-download the wp version?
please check in your Themeforest Dashboard – if you see the phrase: "Theme no longer available" then it means you bought the WP version when this was available in here. In that case, we will get you the theme for free, of course.
Why isn't this theme available for live preview? I'm getting error 404…and I just realized that most of your themes don't have a live preview….please do not reply if you don't originally own this theme and copyrights to it. Meaning if its a copied theme, I'm not interested.
The live preview are working just fine. Maybe you had a connection problem or something. Copied theme? What? You are joking. This is an original theme designed and coded from the ground up by us and we own the original copyrights to it.
The link is now working. About copied theme, its a common thing here as I have come to learn. I witnessed someone who cloned a theme identically of a popular developer from Behance and someone actually told him that his theme was copied by someone on themeforest. He ordered it to be removed immediately. This is funny because this guy did not post a live demo but just posted snapshots, so that's why I asked if you own all copyrights to it and think I've confirmed.
No worries. all our themes are originals, designed and coded HTML and WordPress from the ground up. We wouldn't have it any other way.
Hello, What do I need to arrive communication form, a copy of the database should I create an e-mail address or adequate sendmail.php file
i honestly can not understand the question? Can you please try to elaborate here or post the issue on our deciated Support Forum (http://themefuse.com/forum) with as many details as possible?
Why I can not download the file successfully? I have paid for this theme. Who can help me?
My email is email@example.com
We've sent you the download link
Hi, sorry that I missed the error message, I donwload the file for many times, it always stopped itself, is there any way I can get the file without to download here?
Sure, sent us an email on email@example.com and we'll send an archive right away.
Ah sorry, missed your earlier comment, I'll send the archive shortly.
Hi, It's Blair again. well received your file with thanks, but when I upload the file to WP, it always show the information as following.
Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name Description Envison Stylesheet is missing.
Is that because this file can not be used for WP? How can I get the file which can be used for WP?
Well you've purchased the HTML version of the theme, it can't work in WordPress. I'll email you with further details. Thanks for the patience.

Kulfi Cake
Our version of the traditional Indian dessert is this elegant ice-cream cake.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
- 8 white or green cardamom pods
- 1/2 cup whole shelled green pistachio nuts, or whole blanched almonds
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup blanched almond slivers
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 small mango
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 3 ripe mangoes, peeled (optional)
Step 1
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the coconut milk and cardamom pods until milk just reaches a boil. Stir well, cover, and set aside to infuse for 30 minutes
Step 2
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place pistachios on a baking sheet; toast until aromatic, about 8 minutes. While warm, transfer nuts to a clean kitchen towel; rub to remove the brown skins. Set nuts aside. (If using whole blanched almonds, simply toast, and set aside.)
Step 3
Place the condensed milk, pistachio nuts, and almond slivers in a food processor. Process until well blended and the nuts are finely chopped. Strain the coconut milk into the nut mixture. Pulse until just combined. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
Step 4
In an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Gently whisk the cream into the coconut mixture.
Step 5
Strain 1 cup of the mixture into the bottom of a 5-cup oval pudding mold. Transfer mold to freezer, and let chill until firm, 1 hour to 1 1/4 hours. (Poke the mixture lightly with your finger to test for firmness.) Stir well, and pour 1 1/2 cups of the remaining coconut mixture (not strained) over the frozen mixture, return to freezer, and chill until firm, about 1 1/2 hours.
Step 6
Puree mango; it should yield about 1/2 cup. Combine puree and corn syrup in a bowl. Pour mango mixture over the frozen mixture; freeze until firm, 30 to 40 minutes. Stir well; pour remaining coconut mixture over frozen mango layer until mold is full. Cover with plastic wrap; freeze overnight.
Step 7
To unmold cake, remove plastic wrap; place the mold, metal-side up, on a serving platter. Wet a kitchen towel with very hot water; wring out. Place the towel over the mold, and press into the mold, being careful to press the warm towel into any curves or flutes of the mold. Repeat this step as needed, until kulfi slips out onto the platter. Return cake to freezer on platter until firm again, at least half an hour. Cake may be made up to this point 1 day ahead. To serve, place in refrigerator about 20 minutes, until soft enough to cut with a serrated or slicing knife. Cut mangoes into wedges, if using.

Jahii Carson's mom vents frustration on Twitter
Originally published: Feb 28, 2013 - 8:13 pm
One of the repeating themes in many of ASU's losses this season is that the Sun Devils can't seem to get all of their key rotation players playing well at the same time.
Freshman guard Jahii Carson was excellent, scoring 22 points and dishing out seven assists. Senior wing Carrick Felix had 16 points and a career-high 18 rebounds. Sophomore Jonathan Gilling did have a key lapse in judgment in a one-possession game late in the overtime period, but without his six three-pointers, ASU doesn't extend the game to OT.
On the other side of the coin, guards Evan Gordon and Chris Colvin couldn't get untracked offensively, both going scoreless on a combined 0-for-6 shooting night.
Such losses are frustrating, especially when the win is there for the taking, but maybe nobody was more frustrated than Vanae Carson, Jahii's mother. If you don't believe it, just check out her Twitter feed from Wednesday night.

@ericpmusselman @jahii_carson1 @c_felix0 too bad they just don't have a consistent 3rd wheel— Vanae Carson (@K_Vanae) February 28, 2013
We're not saying Mrs. Carson isn't accurate with at least some of her observations, but she's probably putting her son in a difficult situation with fellow social media savvy teammates.
After all, Jahii has at least four games left in a Sun Devil uniform. At least.

The Pitfalls of Speed PaintingI've been meaning to write about this for a while now, but recently a video popped on up Ctrl+Paint about the same topic and it encouraged me to finally talk about it. It's a practice that's been misconstrued and misunderstood for a while now, so I wanted to help people get a proper understanding on the subject.Speed painting has been something of a fad for 4 or 5 years now, even back when I was first starting digital work. Like many artists out there, I thought, "Sweet, I can do really cool work, really fast!" And like many artists out there, in the back of my head I was probably thinking, "This is easier than learning the normal way!"Well, here's the main problem in regards to speed painting. Any of those really cool, realistic and well done speed paintings you see are done by professionals who have been painting for years and years. These a
Top Seven Mistakes Made by Aspiring IllustratorsI wrote this thing. If you want to repost it on your blog or journal, please credit me with: Article by illustrator Kristina Gehrmann - www. mondhase.de Thank you! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------1. Selling yourself as a beginnerI found a prime example of this in a forum for artists seeking work. The thread title was Starting-out artist looking for a chance",, and the thread told that the artist is looking for a client for whom I may draw" and has just graduated from art college".We all were at this point once, but usually it takes too long to realize that beginner" is the wrong mindset, even if you are one. Such statements sound like excuses and are guaranteed to weaken your position. Don't make excuses. Do not justify your work, and do not justify your prices. This is a tricky habit to acquire since we're not very confident by nature, but remember the image you wan
No More Unauthorized ArtworkRegarding the debate of whether comic artists should continue selling unauthorized prints/sketches of characters they don't own, I think Bissette and his legal advisor are 100% correct. So from now on, I won't be doing any sketches or commissions at shows of any character that I don't own. Am I rolling over in fear of Marvel? Maybe, but as it states below, they're in their legal right to come after me if there's ever a dispute. I love to complain about the Big Two, but I can't (in good conscience) get upset at them if I'm breaking the rules myself. Being DC exclusive, maybe I can get a waiver that allows me to sketch DC characters, so I'll keep you updated.From Steve Bissette's FB page:ALERT, ALL COMICS CREATORS: With permission, I'm quoting key points my dear friend and own legal advisor/contract consultant (since 1992) Jean-Marc Lofficier raised on his posts to a Yahoo forum discussing Ty Templeton's cartoon concerning the Gary
Premium Content and how I feel about making moneyHallo There's a new feature called premium content that allows users to make file downloads available for a charge. This seems to be something with a vast range of different possibilities that range from quite nice to to quite lame. Of course we are all always against commercialization and sell-outs and everything and don't want things to change but there are some interesting options here.Obviously everyone is going to know whether or not this is something he or she could use and how much sense it's going to make for what you do specifically but there's two points I want to adress.I always thought it was lame when people sell stuff like brushes or psd files. This is probably just my personal opinion and many will certainly disagree for valid reasons, but I think, if you make some brushes, and you ask money for something as tiny as that, you are lame. Sorry. Actually, the point here is not that it will kill someone to pay like one buck for something tiny, it's just that it change
Developing Artists FAQHey everyone, just wanted to make a new journal about some stuff that's goin on in my head, and to those who care feel free to read.So I've just graduated with a BA in the Arts (WOW SOOOOO HARDCORE) in late April. Aside from handling small freelance and commission stuff between my spare time, I also started working full time at a local mobile game studio as a concept artist and animator.Now thinking back on my journey so far, I've met a lot of obstacles and obviously overcame many of them, and the ones I didn't overcome I keep on trying. For the longest time, while being in this online art community filled with countless talents of various degrees, I have sought knowledge amongst the community here, and in turn people have also came asking for knowledge in return. While I specialize in the entertainment industry as a visual production and sometimes pre-production artist, there have been many learning curves that I had to tackle by myself, because lets face it, if school wa
FAQ! Finally!Hello everybody!I've been getting an increase in notes and messages lately asking all kinds of things. Problem is, I'm far from having the time to answer all these questions individually (even if I did have it it would probably make more sense to spend it drawing), but I don't want to leave them unanswered either since I appreciate everyone's feedback a lot. So I decided to make a kind of FAQ, since I'm mostly being asked the same things over and over.I'll try to group these semantically so reading though them makes a bit of sense.Did you ever do any tutorials?- Yes, I spent a lot of time on this one:There's a lot of explaining in there, so please before you ask anything technique or learning related, read it thoroughly first.I also have a ton of step-by-steps in this folder here: http://algenpfleger.deviantart.com/gallery/8622578And I also uploaded a ton of layered Photoshop files: http://algenpfleger.deviantart.com/gallery/28996547Finally, I have lots
10 things to do while looking at a photoTraining your eye is very important. To take your photography to the next level and grow as an artist, you need to know what looks good, have an open mind and build your own style. Point at the first thing that attracts your attention (often being the brightest point in the image) Try to mentally trace the path your eye takes around the image (it's like connecting the dots in order to discover the story, in this case)Has the photographer used the rule of thirds? Or a different type of placing the elements in the image?Has the photographer shot from his eye level? Or chose a different point of view?What is the photographer trying to transmit with the image?How has the photographer used the environment to tell the story?How has the photographer used light?Why does the image work?Does the image evoke an emotional response in the viewer's eye?From the above, which can be appli
talent follow upso after a great many debates, here is what i am seeing.there are 4 types of people responding.1. the hard working artist agrees, they understand the time they have put into it, and in turn they are seeing the improvement they desire. they study the right things, like life, to understand how things work. they fight being completely self indulgent 100% of the time so they can better learn the skills they need.2. the casual artist who doesnt really agree because they see somebody better, they are happy with what they can do and know they can be better, but they compare themselves to others too often.3. the lazy fuck that thinks they must not be talented because they dont put in much time. and since they are so frustrated with seeing how great others are, they must not be talented while the other person is.4. the people who see some little kid copy a drawing and imagine that they must be some kind of naturally born incredible artist. most of these people arent much beyond a part time
Tip of the Day: AttitudeWhen you're dealt a bad situation believe that good things will soon happen if you keep a positive attitude. If you adopt this belief then good things WILL happen.In many situations your attitude is the determining factor between a positive outcome or a negative one. A positive attitude is what will keep you going through the tough times.Sending positive vibes to you all!Bobby

I'll review it, since no one else will.
I had this on tap the other day while i was at the "Church."
Very deep brown color, with hints of red around the edges when held to the light. It had a slight tan head that soon fell and vanished. The smell was of rich coffee and cherry, of course. The flavor was of roasted malts, vanilla, coffee, chocolate and subtle cherry flavor. I was expecting the cherry to dominate, I was pleasantly surprised. The mouthfeel was creamy smooth and very thick. Drinkability was so good that I grabbed a growler to take home with me. Awesome beer, one of the best that I have ever had from the Church.

Craig Mathieson Jason Statham might kill a lot of guys but he does it with the most honourable of intentions.
Craig Mathieson Boaz Yakin, the writer and director of Safe, has done something not easily achieved: he's made a decent Jason Statham film.
Sandra Hall BRITISH action man Jason Statham hasn't stopped punching since he made his screen debut in Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels in 1998. Most recently, he helped Sylvester Stallone start a revolution in Latin America before moving on to the Middle East to take on an Omani sheikh who had kidnapped Robert de Niro.
Was a decent action film. You get exactly what's written on the tin: a thinly veiled conspiracy and corruption baseline to set the scene for lots of chases and fights. Just a walk in the park for Jason Statham and nice movie to kill a few hours.

The streets of Weirton were filled with Christmas cheer on Saturday as the city ushered in the holiday season.
The theme of this year's parade was "A West Virginia Christmas," in honor of the Mountain State's 150th Anniversary. It was about two hours long, and included WTRF's Jake Kauffman, who was riding on the Whiteside Chevrolet's Calliope.
The parade was organized by the Weirton Area Chamber of Commerce.

A Las Vegas man is accused of ramming cars and nearly hitting four people in the process, police say.
Marvin Martinez, 21, 119 Railroad Ave., was charged with four counts of aggravated assault, driving while intoxicated and criminal damage.
According to a police report, Martinez rammed several cars in the 5100 block of Hightower north of town shortly after midnight last Tuesday. When state police officers showed up, they witnessed Martinez hitting a white minivan, the report states.
When an officer ordered Martinez to the ground, he refused. The officer then fired a Taser, a high-voltage stun gun, but it didn't seem to affect Martinez, the report states, but he complied with the officer's orders after that.
Martinez admitted to officers that he drank several beers and shots of whiskey, state police said.
He was taken to Alta Vista Regional Hospital after being arrested for a blood draw to determine his blood-alcohol level. A magistrate judge set his bail at $25,000 cash-only.
Mary Yara, who owns the damaged cars, cried during a phone interview when describing the incident.
"I lost six cars in 15 to 20 minutes. I lost everything," she said. "My fence is all torn up. I'm asking for justice."
Yara said she wishes Martinez would face more charges.
"I've never hurt anybody. Why did this happen to me?"
Martinez is no stranger to law enforcement. According to the New Mexico courts Web site, he pleaded guilty to an aggravated domestic battery charge and no contest to an aggravated battery charge — all of which took place last year.

Rossendale shoplifter was a 'desperate' alcoholic
1:55pm Thursday 10th July 2014 in News
A 'desperate' alcoholic who went out shoplifting had had a bad year, Burnley magistrates heard.
Lesley Anne Edwards, 30, stole beer, wine and a packet of crisps, worth £14.75, from Holmfield Garage, Rawtenstall, on April 30.
She struck at Boots, in St James Square, Bacup, on June 17, and helped herself to make-up worth about £50.
Her solicitor, Janet Sime, said Edwards, who is now pregnant, had had no money and no home. Her mother would lose her tenancy if Edwards went near her home so the defendant ended up in a house of drug users.
Miss Sime said Edwards was now working well with various agencies who were helping her. The solicitor added:" She has just found out she is expecting another baby. She needs to get control of things. She looks well. She is usually intoxicated, but she's fine."
Edwards, of Birch Street, Bacup, admitted two counts of theft. She was given a 12 month conditional discharge.

Smartboards use 2 membranes. If something heavy or sharp is thrown at the board, or the board is stabbed the membranes are either jammed together or puntured causing the same effect. Generally this is a BER fault and the whole board has to be replaced. We have had one punctured and managed to repair it but apparently this is a rare case. Not wanting to scare people off them as I think they are great and we have them throughout with only that one problem but we are a pretty quiet school.
