Catlin Gabel science teacher wins award from the University of Oregon
Becky Wynne nominated by a former student for excellent teaching
Becky Wynne nominated by a former student for excellent teaching
Catlin Gabel Upper School science teacher Becky Wynne has been selected for the University of Oregon High School Teacher Award. The award is given during convocation, in appreciation of the fine teaching that has prepared students for the university.
Every year, UO asks the nearly 3,700 incoming freshmen to nominate high school teachers who have influenced them in a particular subject area. Catlin Gabel graduate Becky Coulterpark '10 nominated Becky Wynne. The subject area varies with the theme of their common reading and convocation. This year, they honor a science teacher because UO's common reading is Tracy Kidder's Mountains Beyond Mountains. The book is about doctor Paul Farmer's heroic effort – begun when he was a medical student – to tackle the human and medical challenges created by drug-resistant tuberculosis in Haiti. Paul Farmer's understanding of science, coupled with his enormous sensitivity to human suffering, enabled him to accomplish the impossible. Coincidentally, Mountains Beyond Mountains was Catlin Gabel's common reading book last year.
Becky Wynne has been a Catlin Gabel faculty member since 1998. She holds bachelor's degrees in architecture from Portland State University and in chemistry from Swarthmore College. She has also earned a master's in education from Cornell University.
"I am delighted by Becky Wynne's dedication to excellent teaching," said UO biology professor Karen Sprague. "As a UO faculty member, I always feel indebted to the teachers in all subjects who have worked with my students before they enter my classroom. As someone who teaches cell biology and biochemistry, I'm especially grateful to those who've introduced students to the chemical and physical underpinnings of biology."
Catlin Gabel serves Portland and the world as an educational catalyst, drawing together dedicated educators, motivated students, superb curricular resources, and thoughtfully applied technology, in a beautiful and functional setting, all for the purpose of forming bold learners who become responsible action-takers for life. Catlin Gabel is an independent, non-sectarian, progressive coeducational day school serving 730 students from preschool through twelfth grade. Its roots go back to the Portland Academy, founded in 1859. The school occupies 54 acres on Barnes Road, five miles west of downtown Portland. For more about the school, please visit www.catlin.edu.

Here We Go!
Training camp is just around the corner, and I am incredibly excited. With the Vikings off season key additions of Greg Jennings, Desmond Bishop, Lawrence Jackson, Sharif Floyd, Xavier Rhodes, and Cordarrelle Patterson, there is tons of optimism surrounding camp. These additions have me hoping that Percy Harvin and Antoine Winfield will not be missed. Only the 2013 regular season can prove that theory, however. In the meantime I'll look to training camp to give me hope.
There have been several training camp previews, but mine differs in that it focuses on the 2012 team's perceived weaknesses. I don't agree with all of these weaknesses, but the community has spoken. I am simply asking myself three questions:
- What have the Vikings done to fix a weak area?
- What do I need to see in training camp to verify that weakness is fixed?
- What do I think the actual end result is?
The Vikings have done little to fix the QB position. Sure, they added Matt Cassell, but if all goes well he should never see the field. We have upgraded the backup and put faith in the starter.
From Cassell, I expect to see solid but average QB play, with a focus on limiting turnovers. From Ponder, we need to see the consistency. Ponder historically has not done well in pressure situations. Frazier is not calling this an open competition, meaning that there isn't very much pressure on Ponder until Week 1. Therefore, Ponder can't prove much to me during camp.
In the end, I think Ponder improves his consistency in his third year, helped by an upgraded WR corps.
I've lumped the TEs into this group. The front office chose to resign John Carlson, who has no where to go but up. At WR, they're hoping that Jennings and Patterson will quickly make fans forget about Percy Harvin.
In training camp, I would like to see AD-like, "as-advertised" stuff from Flash. There has been talk about his rawness, and about how his transition will be slow. Frankly, I think that's a load a bullcrap. We need more than a PR/KR. We traded up to get this guy, and gave up a lot, so he needs to wow me. Jennings just needs to stay healthy. Simpson has impressed during practice before, so nothing he does is going to convince me he is ready for a starting role. I don't expect to see much of Carlson, but I do think we will get a preview of Jarius Wright in year 2.
During 2013, I expect to see the Vikings transition away from the two-TE system. This is mainly because we have a solid FB, and I don't think Carlson will pan out. For the receivers, the sooner Flash replaces Simpson, the better. Jarius Wright will also be much improved, so long as he is not the main WR weapon.
Defensive Tackle
The Vikings addressed their need for DT by drafting Sharif Floyd to backup Kevin Williams. To be honest, I did not view DT as much of a need, and Floyd in his current position will not be filling that need. That said, this kid can play. I view X and Flash as our crucial picks and Floyd as the luxury. He provides a ton of DL options for coach Williams.
For camp, with KW aging, it'd be best to hand Floyd as many reps as possible. I would like to see a defense that doesn't miss a beat when Floyd is in. I would also like to see him play with KW, because the two of them on the field at the same time is a dream come true.
Floyd is possibly this team's best backup. For the season I expect fresh legs from Floyd, giving him the ability to make plays in the back field. I also expect KW's game to return to form because of Floyd. They should try to transition him, because I just don't think that KW is done yet.
After the draft, the Vikings were left scrambling for a starting LB. There were several options but none of them were ideal. Next thing you know, the get a deal done with Desmond Bishop, who may be the steal of the offseason. Bishop enters a battle with Erin Henderson for the MLB spot.
Why is this even a position battle? For 4-3 sets, the obvious thing to do is to plug Bishop in the middle, and move Henderson back to his original spot. The real battle will be for the nickel package, and which LB stays on the field. Henderson has a few years of solid play under his belt. Bishop has one stellar year. I think we see a competition that strengthens the LB corps as a whole. This includes promising things from Hodges, Cole, and Mauti. Mitchell won't make the team if Mauti is healthy.
Greenway-Bishop-Henderson for an LB corps represents the biggest positional upgrade on this team from 2012 to 2013. They'll have better play in front of them. I think that we're looking at a Vikings D that returns to their run-stopping dominance, but still has a bit of trouble covering TEs.
Defensive Backs
In what seemed to be purely a financial move, the Vikings jettisoned Antoine Winfield and replaced him with Xavier Rhodes. Let's get one thing clear: there was nothing wrong with #26. He had a great 2012 and the Vikings quit on him too soon. Rhodes has big shoes to fill.
Rhodes is going to start. The question for training camp is: How good will he be? I need to see a dominant camp. In camp he will be going against Jennings, Simpson, and Patterson, For him to succeed, he'll need to contain Brandon Marshall and Calvin Johnson. So, if he's struggling in camp, he ain't gonna cut it. He'll need to surpass Cook and Robinson on the depth chart quickly, as he is expected to do. A plug-and-play corner is what I'm looking for. I also am looking to see a strong safety competition across from Harrison Smith. Jamarca Sanford got better as the season went on, but may Robert Blanton is ready to make some noise.
Entering 2013, I expect to X become the next premier cover corner. He'll have some epic battles as we put him out on an island against legit WRs. Cook should be solid, but all you can do is cross your fingers because of his health. I don't think Robinson is ready for full time slot duty. We just have no other options at this point. Sanford will start across from Smith this year.
I expect to see our rookies prove that they're worthy of their draft position in camp. There will be no bad reports about Ponder, plenty of Patterson talks, and tons of time with Greg Jennings. On the defense, the coaches will find different ways to get Floyd on the field, and be unable to take Rhodes off of it. I don't see many surprises, but I see many reasons to be optimistic about The Vikes in 2013.

Siege of Boston - Conflict & Dates:
The Siege of Boston occurred during the American Revolution and began April 19, 1775 and lasted until March 17, 1776.
Armies & Commanders
Siege of Boston - Background:
In the wake of the Battles of Lexington & Concord on April 19, 1775, American colonial forces closed in on the city of Boston. Initially guided by Brigadier General William Heath of the Massachusetts militia, he passed command to General Artemas Ward late on the 20th. As the American army was effectively a collection of militias, Ward's control was nominal, but he succeeded in establishing a loose siege line running from Chelsea around the city to Roxbury. Emphasis was placed on blocking Boston and Charlestown Necks.
Siege of Boston - The Noose Tightens:
Over the next several days, Ward's forces were augmented by new arrivals from Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. Within the city, British commander Lieutenant General Thomas Gage was surprised by the size and perseverance of the American forces and began fortifying parts of the city against attack. Consolidating his forces in the city proper, Gage withdrew his men from Charlestown and erected defenses across Boston Neck. Traffic in and out of the city was briefly restricted before both sides came to an informal agreement allowing civilians to pass as long as they were unarmed.
Though deprived of access to the surrounding countryside, the harbor remained open and ships of the Royal Navy, under Vice Admiral Samuel Graves, were able to supply the city. Lacking artillery to break the stalemate, the Massachusetts Provincial Congress dispatched Colonel Benedict Arnold to seize the guns at Fort Ticonderoga. Joining with Colonel Ethan Allen's Green Mountain Boys, Arnold captured the fort on May 10. Later that month and into early June, American and British forces skirmished as Gage's men attempted to capture hay and livestock from the outer islands of Boston Harbor (Map).
Siege of Boston - Battle of Bunker Hill:
On May 25, HMS Cerberus arrived at Boston carrying Major Generals William Howe, Henry Clinton, and John Burgoyne. As the garrison had been reinforced to around 6,000 men, the new arrivals advocated for breaking out of the city and seizing Bunker Hill, above Charlestown, and Dorchester Heights south of the city. Learning of the British plans on June 15, the Americans quickly moved to occupy both locations. On the Charlestown Peninsula, Colonel William Prescott and 1,200 men erected a redoubt on Breed's Hill on the night of the 16th.
Spotting the Americans works the next morning, Howe led British forces over to Charlestown and attacked on June 17. Repelling two large British assaults, Prescott's men stood firm and were only forced to retreat when they ran out of ammunition. In the fighting, Howe's troops suffered over 1,000 casualties while the Americans sustained around 450. The high cost of victory at the Battle of Bunker Hill would influence British command decisions for the remainder of the campaign. Having taken the heights, the British began work to fortify Charlestown Neck to prevent another American incursion.
Siege of Boston - Building an Army:
While events were unfolding in Boston, the Continental Congress in Philadelphia created the Continental Army on June 14 and appointed George Washington as commander-in-chief the following day. Riding north to take command, Washington arrived outside Boston on July 3. Establishing his headquarters in Cambridge, he began molding the masses of colonial troops into an army. Creating badges of rank and uniform codes, Washington also began creating a logistical network to support his men. In an attempt to bring structure to the army, he divided it into three wings each led by a major general.
The left wing, led by Major General Charles Lee was tasked with guarding the exits from Charlestown, while Major General Israel Putnam's center wing was established near Cambridge. The right wing at Roxbury, led by Major General Artemas Ward, was the largest and was to cover Boston Neck as well as Dorchester Heights to the east. Through the summer, Washington worked to expand and reinforce the American lines. He was supported by the arrival of riflemen from Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. Possessing accurate, long range weapons, these sharpshooters were employed in harassing the British lines.
Siege of Boston - Next Steps:
On the night of August 30, British forces launched a raid against Roxbury, while American troops successfully destroyed the lighthouse on Lighthouse Island. Learning in September that the British did not intend to attack until reinforced, Washington dispatched 1,100 men under Arnold to conduct an invasion of Canada. He also began planning for an amphibious assault against the city as he feared his army would break up with the arrival of winter. After discussions with his senior commanders, Washington agreed to postpone the attack. As the stalemate pressed on, the British continued local raiding for food and stores.
In November, Washington was presented a plan by Henry Knox for transporting Ticonderoga's guns to Boston. Impressed, he appointed Knox a colonel and sent him to the fort. On November 29, an armed American ship succeeded in capturing the British brigantine Nancy outside of Boston Harbor. Loaded with munitions, it provided Washington with much needed gunpowder and arms. In Boston, the situation for the British changed in October when Gage was relieved in favor of Howe. Though reinforced to around 11,000 men, he was chronically short on supplies.
Siege of Boston - The Siege Ends
As winter set in, Washington's fears began to come true as his army was reduced to around 9,000 through desertions and expiring enlistments. His situation improved on January 26, 1776 when Knox arrived in Cambridge with 59 guns from Ticonderoga. Approaching his commanders in February, Washington proposed an attack on the city by moving over the frozen Back Bay, but was instead convinced to wait. Instead, he formulated a plan to drive the British from the city by emplacing guns on Dorchester Heights. Assigning several of Knox's guns to Cambridge and Roxbury, Washington began a diversionary bombardment of the British lines on the night of March 2. On the night of March 4/5, American troops moved guns to Dorchester Heights from which they could strike the city and the British ships in the harbor.
Seeing the American fortifications on the heights in the morning, Howe initially made plans for assaulting the position. This was prevented by a snowstorm late in the day. Unable to attack, Howe reconsidered his plan and elected to withdraw rather than have a repeat of Bunker Hill. On March 8, Washington received word that the British intended to evacuate and would not burn the city if allowed to leave unmolested. Though he did not formally respond, Washington agreed to the terms and British began embarking along with numerous Boston Loyalists. On March 17, the British departed for Halifax, Nova Scotia and American forces entered the city. Having been taken after an eleven-month siege, Boston remained in American hands for the remainder of the war.

There is a house in my neighborhood that has an enormous paper taped with shipping tape to the door that says "No Solicitors Allowed." This is then followed by a few sentences that clarify what it means to be a solicitor. In the end, if you weren't INVITED to knock on this neighbor's door, don't expect to have it answered. Capisce? (That's Italiano for GET IT????)
While this particular neighbor might be more vociferous than your average person, seeing this sign made me think of how none of us really want to be solicited. I mean, seriously, how much do you hate it when you are sitting watching a TV show, or having dinner with your family, or just finally sitting down after a long and busy day and all of a sudden, "DING DONG" – the doorbell rings. The dogs go nuts, everyone is yelling at them to be quiet which totally gives away the fact that you are home and then you peek out the window only to find that person with a clip board and a name tag for some company they represent. You know that feeling?
Well that is the feeling of being solicited my friends and none of us like it. Why is that? Well for starters, it interrupts our plans…whatever we had going on at that moment. Then on top of it, we feel like we are being prodded to do something that we don't want to do. Then we feel suspicious because really, isn't everything a scam nowadays? Then we feel bad because maybe that person was just trying to pay for his college education after all. Its just not a warm and fuzzy.
Here is what I want you to KNOW. If you solicit, you will not SELL. Okay you may get the occasional person that buys just to get you off their back, but you will not have great success.
No the fortune comes with ATTRACTION MARKETING. This is where you have real relationships with people, truly helpful tools to give those people and then when people realize the value you bring, they come to YOU looking to BUY.
Try going out and just being nice for 30 days. See what friendships you can develop, see how you can help others. Be genuine and caring. Guess what happens then? People want to know more about you, they will start following you and then just one day will happen to wonder what it is that you offer in your business. You will get their attention and it will flow from there.
So please, if you have been soliciting, try something new. Remember that sign on the door – most people have one mentally.
Attraction Marketing is the only way to go. Now GO AWAY and Have a Great Day!

Hard Reset
Hard Reset
Hard Reset Review
Review By KostaAndreadis @ 01:30pm 13/09/11
At the turn of the millennium the first-person shooter (FPS) genre showed signs of maturing with games being released with much more sophisticated AI, an increased focus on setting and story, and fancy new physics based engines that introduced new bombastic gameplay elements into the genre. With this new direction that now sees the biggest titles in the genre sporting realistic looking environments, weapons, and engaging stories, any game that opts to focus solely on action and a skill set perfected by the Quake series, is immediately classed as an 'old school' shooter.
That is, a game for those of us who played Doom II on a 386 or 486 based computer in the early 90's, through to early dial-up multiplayer sessions of Quake a few years later -- games that relied on quick reflexes, circle strafing, jumping, and a lot of running backwards. Hard Reset falls into this category, and does so quite cleverly. Its budget price puts it somewhere between a big studio release and small independently developed game one might find on Steam or Xbox Live Arcade.
As an 'old school' shooter for the PC, from a pedigree of developers who worked on some great games within and outside the genre (such as Painkiller, Bulletstorm and The Witcher) Hard Reset is highly enticing, even as a single-player only experience.
Running on its own proprietary engine, sporting some great futuristic cyberpunk-style visuals, Hard Reset is a game focused solely on action. And although the level design follows a very tried and tested corridor based approach that is linear to a fault, it thankfully features an interactive environment and selection of weaponry that places the game firmly in this century.
Taking place sometime in the future, in a fictional city with a fictionally stupid name (Bazoa, or something) the story is centred on AI and robots going crazy (or something), with the main protagonist sent to basically take care of the situation – as an elite government agent.. or something. Presented in the similar graphic novel style first made popular with the Max Payne series, the story itself makes little sense and seems to feature a ridiculous amount of technical jargon about matrices, assimilation, and other such nonsense. Funnily, the main character seems to be just as confused as he can most likely be found shouting profanity or calling the situation "a load of bullshit" before taking to arms to rid the next section of robotic enemies.
Immediately your first encounter within the game will be with a group of enemies that is not only larger than you might expect, but they also move faster, come in multiple sizes and can bring an abrupt end to your stroll through the night-time neon lit dystopian city streets of Bladerunner-ville. It's here that you'll notice a lot of environmental objects to shoot -- some that explode in an isolated incident of debris, fire and heat and some that cause a chain reaction of screen shaking chaos (best to keep your distance when these occur). Other objects also serve to shoot out Emperor Palpatine-style lightning bolts to freeze robots in their tracks -- which would no doubt scream out "father, please!" if they had voices.
Surviving the first few waves within the game is no easy feat, as the skill set required is most likely dormant in most modern gamers and may need re-awakening. We're talking circle strafing, jumping, running backward, changing weapons, running for ammo and health drops -- all good stuff. And although shooting stuff to make them explode is a key component of most encounters, thankfully environmental damage serves as a mere helping hand, with most outcomes relying on how to best use the weapons at your disposal.
Unlike most contemporary shooters, Hard Reset thankfully allows you to carry a rifle, shotgun, rocket launcher, plasma beam weapon and many more kill-things all at the same time (imagine that!), even though there are only two basic weapon shells. All the weapons found within Hard Reset are classified as either projectile or energy based with upgrades serving as new weapon modes on either of the two primary weapons. This means that the grenade or rocket launcher is an upgrade or different weapon mode of the existing rifle, utilising the same ammunition albeit a lot more of it. So technically, it's a modern two weapon system, but one with an additional 10 weapons thrown in to keep you happy.
It's a great forward thinking approach as players earn a type of XP with each kill or by picking up glowing orange orbs, that can then be spent to purchase a single upgrade each time your character sort-of "level ups". The only downside being that switching between weapons can be a process of timed keystrokes, and spinning mouse wheels. Clearly there's nothing really "old school" about this approach but it allows for new weapons and abilities to be purchased based on a players' particular play style and helps keep the game feel fresh through its relatively short run time.
But the best thing about the quasi-XP system is that it allows weapon purchases and upgrades to be tailored to specific play styles that are readily comparable to those one might use when playing Quake. Any game purporting to offer 'old school' shooting fun needs to get the weaponry right and Hard Reset doesn't disappoint. The grenade launcher has a secondary fire upgrade that allows you to throw out a gravity grenade of sorts that sucks up all nearby robots allowing you to take out a group of enemies with a single well placed grenade shot.
In Hard Reset, certain weapons are more suitable for smaller enemies, such as the lightning bolt type blaster that shoots out a field of electricity that makes any swarm of power-saw wielding tiny robots short circuit. Other weapons such as the aforementioned grenade launcher or the never endingly awesome rail gun that lets you shoot through walls are better suited for the larger bulkier robots who can also pack a punch both in firepower and in their ability to charge at you like a crack head spotting some fallen pocket change.
Hard Reset is not an easy game, and is clearly designed to appeal to the more hardcore shooter crowd with a 'hard' mode that more than lives up to its namesake. The game however doesn't offer the player the ability to save their progress and instead implements a checkpoint system that may deter players early on. Its implementation for the most part is handled quite well, but does result in a lot of replaying of sections that tests memory, in terms of where and how you'll get ambushed, as well as overall skill.
Apart from the overly long boss battles with no mid-point checkpoints, the fact that by the end of your time with Hard Reset you'll be an expert in disposing of endless waves of robots without having to replay as many sections as earlier on, speaks in favour of this approach. In other words you won't be reloading quick saves when battles don't go your way, so man up and stop being such a pussy.
But it's a shame that the developer didn't include a multiplayer mode, as the replay-ability outside of trying different weapons and tactics, is certainly not all that it could be. As a PC exclusive with a price that is directly proportionate to the time and fun you'll get out of the game, and one that runs smooth no matter what is happening on screen, Hard Reset comes highly recommended. Just remember that in some cases, the way forward is to run backwards.


text: Hi, following up the discussion of ownership of data-items in VOStores, here's an alternative approach: make the store an ephemeral resource in the style established by WS-RF. Justification: most users will borrow storage supplied by resource providers and access it via VOStores. We need an interface for managing the loan of the storage (quotas, remaining length of lease etc.) WS-RF is an interface for managing leases of resources. Mechanism: "a VOStore" becomes a dynamic resource. An agent creates one on a VOStore server by calling some operation that follows the resource-factory pattern. (This method is outside the scope of the current VOStore interface.) Agents address such a dynamic store using the normal WS-RF mechanism: a SOAP header. All the data-items written to the store are owned by the creator of the store. The space used in the store can be cleared up using the WS-RF interface; if the storage is leased for a certain time, then it can be set to clear itself up. Users could create more than one dynamic store on the same VOStore server; they could create a dynamic store for each project or for each job. Advantages: we get the management interface without having to invent and debate it in IVOA. We get to implement the management interface using WS-RF toolkits if we choose (this is transparent to the clients, so the use of toolkits can vary from store to store). Users of VOStore get to manage data-items in multiple, dynamic stores without going through VOSpace. We may be able to get WS-RF management tools from the grid community. Disadvantages: the implementor of the store has to implement WS-RF or to use a WS-RF toolkit. Clients of the store have to supply the WS-RF header. NB: the WS-RF thing doesn't change the operation signatures of VOStore. We could use a client for a fixed VOStore on a dynamic VOStore by adding a handler (e.g. the Axis or JAX-RPC kind) that adds the WS-RF SOAP header.

Use Of Data From License Plate Scanners Raises Questions
Cameras Used By Agencies In 38 States, Including San Diego County Sheriff's Department
The ACLU has filed a request with the federal government to see how local agencies are using information collected through license plate reader systems.
» Sign Up For Breaking News Alerts» Like Us On Facebook» Follow Us On TwitterThe San Diego County Sheriff's Department has been using the system since April. Cameras mounted on a patrol cruiser take photos of license plates as the cruiser drives by. The system instantly reads the cameras and warns the deputy if the vehicle has been reported stolen or was involved in a crime.The cameras are used by agencies in 38 states as well as the federal government. Locally, deputies have arrested 16 people since deploying the system on 45 cruisers."Within the first 10 minutes of that LPR being deployed, they found a stolen car," said Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Jan Caldwell.ACLU Executive Director Kevin Keenan told 10News, "Thats a laudable purpose but there are real serious civil liberties concerns and private citizen concerns that we should all worry about."Keenan wants to know what happens to the pictures of vehicles that are not involved in crimes."Your information is still being collected and stored and tracked and that could be abused, not only by law enforcement but by others," he said.Caldwell said, "We're not in the spy business. We're in the business of law enforcement."She said the Sheriff's Department has been collecting information well before the license plate readers were invented."This is nothing that the human eye doesn't capture," she said. "Its the very same thing. It's just faster."Caldwell said the photos are stored for two years with the county's Automated Regional Justice Information System. Then, they are deleted."We only take from that data, that information that is criminal," said Caldwell.The ACLU is not convinced. They said they want safeguards to make sure personal information is not misused."We need to make sure that the accountability mechanisms are in place," said Keenan.

American Aristocrats
July 10, 2009
When Mark Twain set out to tell "the truth, mainly" about
aristocrats, he did it this way:
"How much do a king git?"
"Get?" I says; "why, they get a thousand dollars a month if they want
it; they can have just as much as they want; everything belongs to
"Ain'that gay? En what dey got to do, Huck?"
"They don't do nothing!...They just set around."
Now, if Twain had allowed Huck and Jim to slip in the fact that
aristocrats also "don't know nothing" (thus explaining the tragedies
they cause when they get off their lazy duffs to do something), he would
have captured the totality of an ancient breed that never changes its
Never — explaining why blue-blooded politicians, bureaucrats, and
bankers have been creating a painful, ugly economic mess in the U.S.A.
With whom to begin?
Well, who else but Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Alan Greenspan, Robert
Rubin, and their ilk.
Think of it:
The vote grubbing politicians believed they could simply waft away
reasons for time-tested mortgage rules as they forced banks to approve
"sub-prime mortgages," the inane euphemism they coined to avoid saying,
"stupidly dangerous loans."
The pretentious bureaucrats thought they could wish an "ownership
society" into reality by flooding the nation with easy money, easy
mortgages, and easy regulation of financial institutions whose bosses,
they argued, would behave with perfect rationality because of their
"self-interest" in "protecting their...shareholders and...equity."
(That the conservative Alan Greenspan could join leftists who preach the
perfectibility of humanity through reason only serves to prove the
universality of the human frailties called arrogance and airheadedness.)
The insatiably greedy big shot bankers and insurers thought they had
invented a Perpetual Profits Machine when they committed astonishing
sums to indecipherable instruments called "mortgage-backed securities,"
"collateralized debt obligations," and "credit default swaps" that were
tied to bundles of indiscriminately packaged "sub-prime" mortgages.
Finally — and thus leaving no doubt about their perfect vacuousness — by
2005, not one of the patricians knew that the national ratio of mortgage
to income, which historically had stood at 3:1, had risen to 4:1, with
locales in Florida, California, and other states reporting ratios as
high as 9:1.
Ah, yes, that convenient ignorance about the insanity of the "housing
bubble" was bliss, indeed, because it absolved our modern nobles from
admitting their greed and stupidity and getting down to real, honest
work — not to mention that it permitted them to rise momentarily from
their soft, pretentious seats to smile "trust us" and lecture "not to
We come now to a very special blueblood, Barack Obama, the
intellectual/political aristocrat who, according to Newsweek's Evan
Thomas, stands not just "above the country" but "above the world [as a]
sort of God."
Obama, an omniscient god? Really?
The Obama who entrusted the writing of the "stimulus" bill to Congress,
which was certain to (and did) stuff it full of wasteful pork that
stimulates nothing except higher debt, higher taxes, and the flow of
saliva in every corrupt politician's mouth?
The Obama who chose a Secretary of the Treasury who, like Paulson and
Rubin before him, puts Wall Street before all else — as Timothy Geithner
did when he allowed bailed out, de facto bankrupt AIG to pay $50 billion
at 100 cents on the dollar to domestic and foreign banks (including
Goldman Sachs, where his two predecessors earned enormous sums for their
incomparable service)?
The Obama who supports Treasury and Fed policies designed to line the
pockets of big banks and big bankers while starving small business of
credit, thereby making economic recovery impossible?
The Obama who endangers not just the recovery but America's economic and
social future with borrowing so astonishingly reckless that it has given
rise to serious international talk of replacing the dollar as the global
reserve currency?
The Obama who proposes a trillion dollar "reform" of the nation's health
care system without explaining his plan or how he will pay for it?
The Obama who proposes "carbon" and energy policies that will burden
families with stunning increases in utility rates and energy costs even
as they depress economic growth in America while providing a boon to the
economies of China and India?
The Obama whose philosophy on all subjects (including things economic)
asks the American public to consider Ben Franklin a bumbling fool for
counseling, "He that lives upon hope will die fasting"?
Of course, the questions asked above are merely rhetorical. But they
also remind us that madness is what aristocrats do.
That's why the Obama administration will continue to cover up the
failure of its command economy policies by explaining it "misread how
bad the economy was."
Congressional Democrats will continue to flaunt what Larry Kudlow calls
their "fiscal nymphomania."
Big bankers will continue to take the Fed's cheap cash and hoard it
while enriching themselves with outlandish bonuses.
Big shots from the left and right will continue eschewing a discussion
of substantive issues to attack Sarah Palin and her family with vicious
lies and insults intended to put the commoner in her place.
And all the while, every one of the smug, effete aristocrats will remain
ignorant of ominous rumblings heard throughout the nation, being as
arrogantly detached from reality as were e.e. cummings' Cambridge
ladies, who never could take notice of the moon rattling "in its box of
sky...like a fragment of angry candy."

As part of the celebration of the 40 year anniversary of Title IX, Ralph Irvin caught up with Bruin softball great Lisa Fernandez and discusses the impact of the legislation and the growth she has seen in women's athletics from her unique perspective. A quick rundown on Lisa's accolades:
Fernandez, who played at UCLA from 1990-93, won the Honda Award for softball three times and became the first softball player ever to win the prestigious Honda-Broderick Cup in 1993, given to the most outstanding collegiate female athlete in all sports. A four-time first-team All-American, Fernandez led the Bruins to two national championships (1990 & 1992) and two runner-up finishes (1991 & 1993). She was also All-Region and All-Pac-10 first-team each season and Pac-10 Player of the Year her final three years.
The video can be found here. Fernandez, who also had a distinguished Olympic career, is one of the many reasons we're proud to be Bruins, thanks in part to the opportunities afforded her and countless others through Title IX.

Residents at a north Austin apartment complex are bracing for some cold nights as the cool weather rolls in and the gas at their homes remains off.
Gas services were turned off at the Austin Commons apartments more than a week ago, according to residents, after a gas leak was discovered on the property. Tenants have been without hot water, the ability to cook, and no heat ever since.
With temperatures taking a big drop overnight, dozens of people who live at the complex picked up portable heaters at the leasing office Monday morning so they can stay warm as a predicted freeze cools off the Central Texas region. While repairs are being made to restore gas to the Austin Commons apartments, residents say the issue should have been resolved much earlier.
"If they get more than one company out here they could get this done a lot quicker," said Michael Lewis, resident of the Austin Commons apartment complex.
One thousand Austin Energy customers overnight as well after some power lines were hit by tree branches. Crews are currently working on the repairs.
Austin Water wants to remind residents to protect their property from frozen or broken water pipes when the temperatures drop Monday night.
Before the freeze residents are advised to wrap all exposed pipes outside and in unheated areas of the home. Hoses should be removed from outside faucets and vents around the foundation of the home should be covered.
If temperatures drop below 28 degrees for 4 hours or more people are advised to drip faucets and open cabinet doors under sinks adjacent to outside walls.

Have You Met Rutgers-Newark?
The Fed Challenge Team, College of Arts and Sciences
Related News
Rutgers-Newark doesn't have a football team, but since 2005 it has fielded a team that has made four trips to a "brain bowl." Each year a five-student team, fielded by the Economics Department and coached by department chair John Graham , competes in the College Fed Challenge sponsored by the Federal Reserve Board. In late 2011 the team came in second in the national finals in Washington, D.C., bested only by the team from Harvard. 2011 marked the fourth time in six years that the R-N team has reached the national finals, and the third time it has placed in the top three national teams. The national finals were the capstone to five district competitions throughout the country.
The Rutgers students on the 2011 team are:
senior Victor Castaneda, an economics and mathematics major
junior Michael Jen, an economics and history major
junior Bryan Myers, an economics major senior
Gaurav Pendse, a finance and computer science major, and
senior Sher Singh, an economics and mathematics major
Castaneda is a veteran from three previous Fed Challenges, while Singh has been on the team for two years. The New York district competition began on Oct. 28 with 36 teams from the New York- New Jersey area; only six teams advanced to the semi-finals, and only four made the finals. To reach the New York finals, the Rutgers-Newark team had to win both their preliminary and semi-final round. To reach the national finals, the R-N students won the regional finals at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in November.
In each round of the competition, team members give a 15-minute presentation, including Power Point slides of economic and financial data, and then make a monetary policy
recommendation concerning the federal funds rate and credit-easing policies. Finally the panel of judges grills each team about its presentation and policy recommendation, the team's overall knowledge of macroeconomics and Federal Reserve operations, and the major monetary issues facing the Fed. Each team is then scored in several categories, including teamwork, knowledge, and presentation skills.

Queen will be named BMI Icons at the organization's annual London Awards. The ceremony is slated for Tuesday, October 4 at London's Dorchester Hotel, Park Lane.
BMI honors songwriters who have had "a unique and indelible influence on generations of music makers" as Icons. Queen's Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon join a list of past honorees that includes 2010 recipient Don Black, Van Morrison, Donovan, the Bee Gees, James Brown, Willie Nelson, and more.
Outsized. Operatic. Magisterial. Queen defined a new type of rock superstardom. Vocalist Freddie Mercury, guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor and bassist John Deacon delivered drama, precision and, perhaps most of all, timeless songs. There are numerous BMI Awards between the four members, who are all songwriters with contributions to Queen's repertoire, and consequently, the world's collective pop culture. Mercury penned "We Are the Champions," "Somebody to Love" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"; May composed "We Will Rock You" and "Fat Bottomed Girls"; Deacon wrote "Another One Bites the Dust"; and along with friend David Bowie, they all came together to write "Under Pressure." Queen was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. In 2003, they became the first band ever to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame as a group rather than as individuals. The U.K. Music Hall of Fame welcomed Queen in 2004, while "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" have both been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Freddie Mercury died of AIDS in 1991; the following year, remaining members orchestrated the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert for AIDS Awareness, and the Mercury Phoenix Trust (MPT) was established. To date, MPT has donated more than $15 million to the fight against AIDS around the world.
BMI represents the songs mentioned above and many others from Queen's legendary catalog in the U.S. The quartet are all members of British performing right society PRS for Music.

Born in southwest Oklahoma in 1942, Leon began piano lessons at age 4. He was playing in Tulsa nightclubs at the age of 14. After graduating from high school, Leon's band, The Starlighters, went on the road with Jerry Lee Lewis. Leon left Tulsa at the age of 17 for Los Angeles where he began playing in the L.A. clubs and eventually became one of the best session musicians in Hollywood. He worked with the best Hollywood producers and top musicians in the business. Leon became part of an elite group of studio musicians called the Wrecking Crew and played on hundreds of hit records in the 1960's. He was part of studio groups such as The Routers and The Super Stocks. The Routers recorded the huge hit "Let's Go" and The Super Stocks recorded surf and hot rod tunes. In 1964, Leon was a member of the the house band on the Shindig! show on ABC television which showcased the top pop acts. Leon built a recording studio in his home in 1967 where he and Marc Benno recorded songs which were released on two critically acclaimed records as the 'Asylum Choir'.
Leon co-produced, arranged, and played piano, organ, and guitar on Joe Cocker's second album, 'Joe Cocker!' in 1969. He also recorded and toured with 'Delaney & Bonnie & Friends'.
Leon founded Shelter Records with partner Denny Cordell and released Leon's first solo album, "Leon Russell" in May, 1970. It included Beatles George Harrison and Ringo Starr, Rolling Stones Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts, Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton, and Klaus Voorman. The album contained classic Leon songs, 'A Song For You', along with 'Hummingbird', and 'Delta Lady'.
Shelter Records was home for not only Leon but many other artists such as Freddie King, Don Nix, J.J. Cale, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Gap Band, Dwight Twilley and Phoebe Snow. Leon played on and produced three Shelter albums for blues guitarist Freddie King.
As a songwriter, Leon's songs have hit the charts across all genres and have been covered by a diverse range of artists. Ray Charles recorded 'A Song For You', B.B. King had a hit with 'Hummingbird', The Carpenters with 'Superstar' and Joe Cocker with 'Delta Lady'. The Carpenter's cover of "Superstar", written by Leon and Bonnie Bramlett, went to #2 on the pop music charts. George Benson won the "Record of the Year" Grammy in 1976 for his cover of Leon's song, "This Masquerade", and it became the first song in music history to hit #1 on the jazz, pop and R&B charts.

Please take our reader survey of whether Raw Story should feature coverage of the royal wedding. We promise to abide by the results.
UPDATE: Without a massive last minute influx of votes in favor of the royals, I'm afraid that the small number of people looking to watch the wedding online will have to look elsewhere. I recommend Talking Points Memo, which will be carrying the live embed (and we'll update this post with a direct link when we can).

ALBANY (WALB) - The city of Albany it set to undertake one of its largest demolition projects ever.
More than two dozen blighted homes on Corn Avenue will come down.
Code enforcement officers say it's a major step toward ridding the community of abandoned properties.
"Code enforcement... Anyone in here get out," said Code Enforcement Director Mike Tilson as he entered one of the abandoned homes.
No one was inside, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been used. Piles of trash littered ever room of the house.
"The holes in the ceiling - that's where people have stripped the electrical wiring for copper," he said.
In these houses, unkempt is understatement.
"They're just nasty," Tilson said,
Liquor bottles, discarded booze cans, old blankets and mattresses, and human waste is the décor in the majority of these homes in the 900 block of Corn Avenue.
Tilson says they're a haven for vagrants and gang members.
Built in 1955, in recent years these homes, which make up 2 city blocks, have fallen on hard times.
"These houses have just deteriorated so badly, they don't need to be around anymore," Tilson said.
And they won't be around much longer. Last month the city got a court order to demolish the blighted properties. It will be one of the largest residential demolitions in Albany history.
"You have a housing authority right across the street. You have kids that live over there. And for them to have to live near this, it's sad," he said.
Once an asbestos inspection is conducted, the city will get bids for the actual demolition
The homes should be gone by no later than February
Officials estimate it will cost about $100,000 dollars to demolish the homes.
Code Enforcers say the property owner has gone out of business.

The owners of a controversial home in Raleigh's Historic Oakwood neighborhood are hoping City Council will intervene in the dispute and allow their home to be finished.
Marsha Gordon and Louis Cherry's home in the 500 block of Euclid Street is 80 percent complete, but a ruling last week by the Board of Adjustment brought construction to a standstill.
The ruling came after neighbor Gail Wiesner complained to the city that their new home's "modern flair" does not match the surrounding architecture.
Gordon and Cherry, who are married, maintain that the house actually pays homage to surrounding designs and is not out of place at all.
The couple wants Raleigh City Council to appeal the adjustor's ruling.
"All the homes in Oakwood were modern when they were built," Cherry, who designed the home, argued. "So if you think of modern, meaning current and contemporary, it is that. But modernist -- it's been called an ultra-modernist home -- it is neither of those as a style."
Gordon added, "Historic preservationists believe very firmly that you should not make copycat, Disneyland architecture in a living, breathing historic district."
The Raleigh City Council could discuss the problem as soon as Tuesday. If appealed, the case would go to superior court.

Gaming became a central focus in Seth Gastelum's young life due to oft-absent parents and horrible siblings. Instead of watching their kids or trying to raise them in any kind of decent capacity, Seth's parents opted to replace love and care with video game consoles. As a result, Seth came to seek the attention and approval his developing brain craved from the household Intellivision and NES instead of those who should be caring for him. The one upside to this is that he came to love all video games equally and never fell to the company allegiances that plague so many. The downsides, however, are numerous.
Seth's passion for game collecting came about soon after graduating high school, when he found himself with income but very little in the way of bills. Instead of saving or investing his money, he decided to buy a lot of video games. This seemed to make him happy, albeit a fleeting and artificial happiness, but he found that if he kept the incoming flow of games constant, he couldn't tell the difference. Today, Seth owns over 600 video games across 30 consoles, the vast majority of which are complete with box and manual. Every time Seth feels down, he likes to glance at his boxed copy of EarthBound to remind himself that the only person he has to blame for his situation is himself.
These days, Seth hates his job and yearns for more from his existence. Seth enjoys commenting on the absurdity of life in general, hanging out with a close group of friends, drawing, and not finishing anything he starts. Seth would also like to apologize to his mother in case she reads any of this.

In September 2009 I travelled across the Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia. During this trip I photographed everything I thought was interesting.
This photobook contains a selection of the best photographs taken during this trip. It contains photo's of nature, landscapes, water, vulcano's, animals and people. I know that's quite diverse, but keep in mind that the Lesser Sunda Islands are also quite diverse.
Because of lack of time I didn't visit all the islands that belong to the Lesser Sunda Islands. All the photographs in this book are shot on the islands of Bali, Lombok, Rincah and Flores.
I hope that this photobook gives a good impression of the beauty of these islands and that everyone who thinks that they look beautiful, will be inspired to visit the islands themselves.

The shame.
I'm here, Drew, and until the Super Bowl I will only comment on this screen name unless business dictates otherwise (which it might, so let's be realistic).
I just want to say -- the Bears are a fucking glorified college team this year and the Lions had all of 5 good plays the whole game. Matthew Stafford is NOT a great quarterback. He has a wide receiver -- Calvin Johnson -- that makes him look so much better than he actually is.
And Jahvid Best ... ugh. Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs make me sick. The entire fucking defense makes me sick.
Take your shots.
