Sean Weisgerber: Electric Mud
September 4, 2015 - October 11, 2014
Opens Thurs, Sept 4, 2014, 7-9 p.m.
Hours: Tu 6-9 p.m., Sa 1-5 p.m.
Wil Aballe Art Projects is proud to present Electric Mud, Sean Weisgerber's second solo exhibition at WAAP. His first exhibition, After I Shed My Skin, unveiled a direction that explored the possibilities of paint as material. This previous series of monochromatic grey dipped works were installed in tense relation to the architecture while considering the domestic aspect of the gallery as apartment.
In Electric Mud, six new works showcase Weisgerber's continued engagement in this process-driven direction while introducing new elements, such as colour, that bring these works into a broader discussion of contemporary abstract painting. His work still explores materiality as subject, driven from an interest in dissecting things to explore their structure and skin, and how they intersect. Situated at the axis of painting, sculpture, and installation, Weisgerber's work seamlessly crosses disciplines. It culls through histories and collects fragments along the way. These specters flutter in and out, and collide to create works that are imprinted with the past and the personal.
Weisgerber's specific choice of materials and processes are filtered through his own sensibilities while at the same time taking into consideration the history of abstraction. Minimalist and Process Art carry the most weight in these new works. Weisgerber is interested in artists such as Eva Hesse, Richard Serra, Roxy Paine, and Neil Campbell, among others. Recently, many contemporary artists within Canada are engaged in labour intensive processes and materiality, which links Weisgerber's practice to several artists in Toronto and Vancouver.

HARRISONBURG, VA. (WHSV) -- Most players stick around for just a year in the Valley League. Every so often, you'll find a guy come back for a second season, but Thomas Smith is back for his third under Bob Wease in Harrisonburg.
"Bob does a great job taking care of everybody," said Smith. "He really makes me feel welcome, part of the family."
Feeling welcome isn't the only thing bringing smith back to the Turks. Each summer, the infielder picks up knowledge and skills that he brings back to Georgia Tech for ACC play.
"He can play short, he can play third, he can play second, he can play first," said Turks coach Bob Wease. "He can play any place you want him on the field. He is undoubtedly our most valuable player."
"Everything's been just a big learning experience," said Smith. "You learn from guys that you play with. You learn from the coaches that coach you. You have a lot of experience around you."
Smith's experience benefits his teammates. As a three-year Valley League vet, he lets the young guns know how to handle life in the VBL.
"Show them what to do day in and day out as they come to the park," said Smith. "If they have questions about what to do in certain situations, things like that, I give them kind of like an open door. Just come to me."
As his final VBL season winds down, Smith realizes that baseball isn't the thing he'll miss most about summers in the valley.
"Three years of being up here, I've built some relationships and friendships that I'll definitely miss when I go back home," said Smith. "I'll have to make an effort to keep in contact with these people."

"Puerto Rico upholds gay marriage ban"
Judge Perez-Gimenez focused the first part of his constitutional analysis on the Supreme Court's summary ruling in Baker v. Nelson forty-two years ago. In that case, the Court dismissed a gay couple's appeal seeking a right to marry because, it said, the case did not raise "a substantial federal question." -
Gee, such a keen legal mind at work. mjolner, you keep complaining about "liberal" judges but here we see actual political bias at work -- this judge ignores forty years of jurisprudence that has led to there now being a majority of states recognizing same-sex marriage and reaches into obscurity to pull out an opinion that's based on the notion that there is not "a substantial federal question." that's not just bias, it's raw, naked bias.

Daily Topics - Wednesday October 22nd, 2014
I would arrange the individual tax code to give deductions from taxable income for 1) food, 2) clothing, 3) shelter, 4) transportation, 5) education, and 6) medicine.
Once the family situation is taken into account, the first four deductions would be for average costs. This would encourage people to live less ostentatiously, and any extravagant expenditures in those categories by rich people would raise the average.
After the deductions have been included, I'd still have a graduated tax bracket system with a 0% bracket at the bottom for the first, say, $10,000.
What's The Best 30 Sec Argument That Can Convince Dems To Vote?
- Corruption by country
Corruption by Country / TerritoryCountry/Territory Corruption challenges
Financial regulation
Although the United States has an effective anti-money laundering framework, experts are concerned about various legislative and regulatory weaknesses. More specifically, there are weak requirements for customer due diligence. Furthermore, there are loopholes that allow entities and persons to use shell companies as well as trusts to hide and launder proceeds from illegal activities. Worries regarding transparency in the U.S. financial system were heightened by the 2008 financial crisis, as well as recent notorious financial fraud and insider trading scandals.
Anti-fraud legislation
In June 2010, the Supreme Court issued a ruling that limits the scope of the "honest services" statute. This was a key national anti-corruption law that – until then – was particularly effective in the prosecution of corrupt acts involving public officials. Following the Supreme Court's decision, several federal courts have overturned honest services fraud convictions in a number of cases, many of which included public officials. The decision also has serious implications for recent high-profile fraud convictions, and may result in the overturn of other guilty verdicts.
Government and politics
Corruption among government and political figures remains a concern. From fraud and embezzlement charges to the failure to uphold ethical standards, there are multiple cases of corruption at the federal, state and local level. Recent high profile scandals have involved councilmen in California and the District of Columbia, as well as mayors in New Jersey and an Illinois governor. Money laundering convictions and ethics violations by U.S. Congress representatives have also furthered citizen distrust.
Political financing
Transparency in campaign and political financing suffered a major setback in 2010. This followed a Supreme Court decision that de facto removed all limits to political spending by corporations and unions. The decision led to the creation of "super" political action committees, or "Super PACs", permitting unlimited financing for political campaigns – and without donor disclosure. As a result, wealthy individuals, interest groups and businesses can increase their influence on the country's political system.
The worst SCOTUS since Taney's .
US ranked 19th out of 177 for corruption. Denmark and NewZealand were tied for #1 so the next spot was 3rd place and Sweden and Finland tied for 3rd, which made the next spot 5th, and that was Norway.
Attack on Canada
Pray for the victims, particularly the single officer who was killed in the line of duty. Pray for calm, reason, and that this is not a foretaste of more attacks of a wider Issis network of homegrown terrors cells to come.
Something's happening but the worst thing we can do is to maximize the enemie's greatest weapon confusion fed by terror. The moment we're confused, we won't be able to respond with the calm determination necessary to defeat Issis or just a bunch of thugs looking to raise a ruckus and hide behind Issus or outfits like it.

"Puerto Rico upholds gay marriage ban"
'Relying mainly on two legal points that federal courts have repeatedly rejected over the past sixteen months, a federal trial judge in San Juan ruled Tuesday that Puerto Rico's ban on same-sex marriage survives constitutional challenge. The combination of a one-line Supreme Court decision in 1972 and the Court's full-scale ruling in June a year ago on the federal Defense of Marriage Act means that lower courts are required to leave the marriage question to the states (and to Puerto Rico), U.S. District Judge Juan M. Perez-Gimenez declared in a twenty-one-page opinion.
The decision was a clear break with the near-unanimous results of federal trial and appeals courts in the wake of the Justices' ruling last year in United States v. Windsor – a ruling that said nothing directly about state power to deny marriage for gay and lesbian couples, but has been widely interpreted as if it had said a great deal. Since Windsor, only one other federal trial judge has upheld such a ban — in Louisiana.
Lawyers for the same-sex couples involved immediately made plans to appeal the Puerto Rico ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, which has yet to rule on a challenge to a state's power to prohibit gay and lesbian marriages. Such marriages are legal in the four states in that circuit: Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.
Judge Perez-Gimenez focused the first part of his constitutional analysis on the Supreme Court's summary ruling in Baker v. Nelson forty-two years ago. In that case, the Court dismissed a gay couple's appeal seeking a right to marry because, it said, the case did not raise "a substantial federal question." That left intact a Minnesota Supreme Court decision in favor of that state's ban on same-sex unions.
The San Juan jurist said the Supreme Court has never overruled that decision, so it is still binding on lower federal courts — an argument that has failed in all of the recent rulings against such bans. But the judge also said that he was bound to follow the Baker precedent because the First Circuit, which has binding legal authority in Puerto Rico cases, had itself done just that two years ago.
In a Massachusetts case in which the First Circuit had struck down a key part of the Defense of Marriage Act, barring all federal marital benefits to same-sex couples already legally married under their state's laws (the same result that the Supreme Court reached last year), the First Circuit had said that Baker v. Nelson was still a binding precedent, Judge Perez-Gimenez noted. That ruling, he added, tied his hands.
He went on to reject an argument that most recent federal decisions on same-sex marriage have accepted — that the Supreme Court's later gay rights rulings in several cases have undermined theBaker precedent.
The Puerto Rico judge then turned to his interpretation of the Windsor decision on the federal marriage law. That decision, he wrote, "did not create a fundamental right to same-gender marriage nor did it establish that state opposite-gender marriage regulations are amenable to federal constitutional challenge."
If anything, he added, "Windsor stands for the opposite proposition: it reaffirms the states' authority over marriage, buttressing Baker's conclusion that marriage is simply not a federal question."
Putting Windsor and Baker together "in tandem," the judge declared, those rulings "emphasize the states' historic and essential authority to define the marital relation free from federal intrusion." He quoted language in the main Windsor opinion saying just that.
The judge acknowledged the long list of federal court rulings since Windsor striking down state same-sex marriage bans, but simply said he disagreed. He attributed those rulings to the "ingenuity and imagination" of the judges involved. Lower courts, he stressed, do not have the option of refusing to follow a Supreme Court precedent just because they have discovered "nebulous 'doctrinal developments'" that supposedly undercut the Court's prior rulings, as with Baker v. Nelson.
The judge closed his opinion with a verbal tribute to "traditional marriage" as "the fundamental unit of the political order. And ultimately the very survival of the political order depends upon the procreative potential embodied in traditional marriage."
Those, he added, "are the well-tested, well-proven principles on which we have relied for centuries. The question now is whether judicial 'wisdom' may contrive methods by which those solid principles can be circumvented or even discarded."'

"Ninth Circuit's neutrality questioned on gay rights"
You continue to assert that you are only conceerned about "the process" and yet when I addrsseed the flaw in the charge being made that the "process" may be biased you chose to ignore or gloss over it so I will repost it in front of your nose:
First, mjolner, f*#k you very much for asserting above that the mere fact that one is a homosexual makes him or her any more biased for than being heterosexual makes one biased against LGBT rights. If you had bothered to examine the link I provided regarding that issue you would have seen that your premise has been rejected over and over and over again by the Courts from top to bottom; including all such kinds of bigoted assumptions such as questioning whether a Latino judge can be impartial regarding immigration cases or African American judges can be impartial regarding civil rights cases. That particular homophobic objection was raised, addressed and dispensed with long before you thought to bring it up.
Second, the entire exercise by the "Coalition for the Protection of Marriage" which attempts to demonstrate that there is a bias involved in the fact that particular judges have heard particular cases because those cases involved deciding questions having to do with gay civil rights is monumentally flawed. The premise of the exercise is facile and, frankly, laughable. It assumes that only cases between 2009 and now that involve sexuality have relevance in the deciding of cases involving sexuality and, further, that cases involving sexuality are necessarily relevant each to the other. Both assumptions are just ignorant. You know what they say: "To assume makes an ass out of u and me." That lawyer representing the grifter organization "Coalition for the Protection of Marriage" who commissioned the study you cited is an idiot and they would be well served by firing his ass.
Any competent attorney and any competent jurist understands that case law supporting the merits of an argument either for or against a specific issue can come from anywhere in the history of jurisprudence. The idea of identifying cases according to whether or not they deal with "LGBT" rights as opposed to "rights" is just silly and thus the resultant "study" attempting to show bias is just an exercise in futility, And not just an exercise in futility but a clear indication that the actual bias comes from those making the accusation of bias, not the bench.
Here are a few examples that demonstrate the correctness of my assertion from the very opinion in question:
"[T]he absence of amalevolent motive does not convert a facially discriminatory policy into a neutral policy with a discriminatory effect. Whether [a policy] involves disparate treatmentthrough explicit facial discrimination does not depend on why the [defendant]discriminates but rather on the explicit terms of the discrimination." -- UAW v Johnson Controls Inc. 499 U.S. 187, 199 (1991)
or Griswold v. Connecticut , 381 U.S. 479 (1965), held that married couples have a fundamental privacy right to use contraceptives...
or "[S]tate courts made clear that the basis,and validity, of such laws lay in stereotypical beliefs about the appropriate roles of men and women." Hibbs v. Dep't of Human Res. , 273 F.3d 844, 864 (9th Cir.2001),
or Likewise, social benefits programs historically distinguished between men andwomen on the assumption, grounded in the unequal marital status of men andwomen, that women were more likely to be homemakers, supported by their working husbands. See, e.g., Califano v. Goldfarb , 430 U.S. 199, 205–07 (1977); Weinberger v. Wiesenfeld , 420 U.S. 636, 644–45 (1975). -----------------------------------------------
I could go on and on making the same point from all manner of cases in all manner of venues to demonstrate the universality of the fact that it is absurd to attempt to assign some particular classification to court cases according to whether they involve a specific component like homosexuality or labor or criminality or anything else in order to assert bias.
So *BOOM* how's that for discussing the technicality of the issue? - See more at: http://www.thomhartmann.com/forum/2014/10/ninth-circuit%E2%80%99s-neutra...
"Puerto Rico upholds gay marriage ban"
The "doctrine" that the judge appears to rely upon is precedent from Baker. He also cites a decision from the First Circuit (his circuit) from only two years ago that reaffirmed that Baker was still precedent. The decision will likely be overturned by the First since it's pool has been heavily loaded with, presumably, Liberals by Obama.
What makes the decision interesting is that this is now two courts that have sided against the pro-gay marriage protaganists. Perhaps the sUPREMEs may finally have to show some backbone and take the question up.
The Meaning of Atheism
Glad to see NMHiker give a big thumbs up to my friend, Marcus Borg, and his work. THE FIRST PAUL written with John Dominic Crossan rescues Paul from the Reformation.
The point I have made in several discussions of atheism or religion is that I am a post-theist 'theologian,' which is something of a zen take on how religion connects to "being human" for better and worse. It is part of a thesis that secularism is an illusion of objective realism which does strip out the moral depth and sense of being in connection to a web of life in a living earth/cosmos.
I agree with Anti that "atheism" is a fine jumping off point, but I have problems with "the existence of God" meaning anything to being human in this world. How does a metpahor or metaphysical being "exist?" Is not being a physical being and "only" a myth make the story into a lie, or the "lie that tells the truth?" It is where we go from "theism" that matters, and the defense of "God" is mistaken enough without trying to defend the way "God" has been packaged in our imagination and language. The whole Idea of God may prevent us from experiencing the full glory of "God."
I have a lot of trouble with segmenting this "experience" to "religion" instead of feeling the affirmation of being alive in joy, compassion, wonder, and the fact that things work. Permaculture is a natural/spiritual unity, and the stories we tell to reveal truths don't have to be historical rather than fiction to help us be aware in the world we are in. How do you draw the lines in music? Sure, there is the Saturday Night Dance and Sunday Morning Praise, but the music is deeply related and often crosses over directly.
What the debate on atheism exposes for me is the emotional grip people have about believing in God and that God "existing" somewhere. Gaia proposes that the cosmos is intelligent and that a living world is composed of intelligent particles, etc., which seek health and harmony. We can put aside how human centric the health and harmony of the world is, but the point is that we have a place and are not alien beings.
Other people just don't want to let go of the stories and some of the sayings. For them, if Jeus is just a great guy, he is not there for them the same way "they need." But the anger about atheists and the emphasis placed on believing in some God rather than not is irrational and uncouth. It is a symptom of a pathology.
Anti, I assure you that one of the great benefits of a theological education is the ability to pull the rug out from under the Fundie Right who not only do not own the issue of religion, do not know the tradition they claim to represent. Of course they are today's biblical pharisees and the priests who killed and jailed the prophets. Knowing the story helps us spot them today. It is not nuts to see the Bible as a repository of serious wisdom including a God with a sense of humor and some weird need to have human beings to love.
That Cat Exists in human history and can be seen as the Ultimate Theism Relativiser, because 'Having No Other Reality than Reality Itself" makes even this Relativiser prove it in the here and now. The atheist's best friend is the God who is tested in Reality. It is too bad the religion that grew up around this story failed to keep this scrutiny alive and has allowed all sorts of principalities and powers to divert us from that deep moral Realism of Love.
This is the kind of thing that Borg and Crossen have done for me in my theological continuing education. There are other wonderful stories that tell the truth, given that we are talking about the Mystery of Reality and that the truth is bigger than any of them. The meeting place for sharing is here on earth.
Atheists have every reason to react with anger at the attacks from theists. The latter have every reason to ask themselves what upsets them about the atheists. The God they believe in would laugh in their faces, with love, but that is the story speakiing and not the "ontology" issue. Much as I agree in the reasons to criticize religion instead of praise it, I do want to raise the point that abolishing theism does not abolish religion or make it stupid. A good atheist story of being human is all I want to point toward from this starting point of the "existence of God."
We can live in an intelligent, even 'caring' cosmos, without their being an intelligence behind it, much less an ontological Being of any kind. At the same time, good story tellers have been drawn to the idea of a Great Spirit or Caring Fount of Authority to spark our imagination about the mysteries beyond definition and control. In fact, it transforms our thinking so we don't cling to definition and control any more than we can. Fear does not help spark this imagination even if it shocks us. At some point, Love in the larger sense makes us care enough to act and frees us from what binds us. I don't think I am being critical of atheists to suggest that it is where the answer we agree on leads us.
To all you all theists, enjoy your Newtonian metaphysics. They will get you to Mars, but they will not explain what they have revealed about the cosmos. Confining "God" to theism does not help you see what is happening or get the "new light" breaking in upon us. Nor do you want to defend the misty ethereal where God is only in the air. Defend the story, but not as history and science. Don't do the Jetson thing about when it all began. Just let what is real be real and discover that there is a future.
Attacking atheism
Hi people!
Glad people responded. (I had to use another log in name)
My point was regarding yesterday's show about the idea of some atheists act evangelical. Since some people called and were very defensive about this I wanted to post something.
I do agree with that extreme religious people created way more violence then atheists (but sometimes I wonder if we can take in account the brutal history of the USSR.) But at the same time, I see a lot of similiraties between some religious people and some atheists people.
I think the problems are not because of religion or atheism and that's why I have a problem with some atheist around me who are fan of Bill Maher and Sam Harris for exemple.
Since it was in the news recently, I'll use this exemple. Basicly those atheists are saying the problems are due to religions. When I debate this, facts that dont fit into this narative are removed easily.
As an exemple the myth that science and religion dont mix. Well according to history, they did. In the golden age of Islam, science really was improved. A lot of astrologers and mystics where religious too. I can't get this fact in the head of hardcore athiests.
The similarities between SOME atheists and SOME religious people are, in my eyes, the absolute certainy of their world view.
By the way. If you heard in the news about that dude who ran over a military guy in a town near Montreal, well I grew up in that town. This event to me is super interesting because the dude is a pure quebecer who used religion to be violent. But I know this town and the small minorities (me included) there will have a real bad time because of the bad rep religion can get.

"Ninth Circuit's neutrality questioned on gay rights"
The operative words here, your words, are "that the "study" might." I'm supposed to believe that a study penned by a man who once held the "Program Chair, Statistical Education Section, American Statistical Association " is automatically tainted because he might be a Morman. Plenty of people of the Morman faith support the gay agenda. I would suggest you look at your own bigotry. This man is a professional, what his beliefs are is not the question unless you can prove he fudged the results. Can you?
Thom: Please Dump The Robot Pigeon "Jokes"
The pigeon meme is only a inside joke to those that really think Pigeons are from Xenon. Thom has used it in the ten years, this month, I have been listening to his show. The Spaghetti monster only came up in discussion years later with the question of whether religion should be taught in schools. Of course, we don't want the pigeon meme taught in schools because the students might figure out pigeons really are robots!
"Ninth Circuit's neutrality questioned on gay rights"
Quote mjolnir:Where did you address that Matis was a Mormon who was involved in anti-gay activities? Please show me. I've done search of all posts for the term Mormon and LDS and they only appear in MY posts.
Quote ulTRAX:I've addressed it multiple times.
Hey M... still waiting for you to address the fact that Matis was NOT a neutral agent when he crafted his "study" on an alleged gay bias in judge selection. He's a Mormon with an anti-gay agenda.
All you've done is EVADE the issue and try to stress is secular credentials.
So I repeat EVASION ALERT!
"Ninth Circuit's neutrality questioned on gay rights"
Quote mjolnir:EVASION ALERT: Your OP is trying to imply a biased selection of judges led to a skewed ruling. But you're EVADING the bigger issue... that the "evidence" you've regurgitated here now for 50-60 posts might be the product of a biased statistician selection process... that the "study" might have been crafted to produce suspicion amongst marriage bigots like yourself.
Quote ulTRAX:I've addressed it multiple times. I don't have the expertise to question the math in his analysis. Do you? It "looks" perfectly plausible to me but as I've stated before until someone on the Left contradicts his assumptions with an expert with qualifications the "appearance" of bias stands with me. Other people are entitled to their own opinions.
Hey M... still waiting for you to address the fact that Matis was NOT a neutral agent when he crafted his "study" on an alleged gay bias in judge selection. He's a Mormon with an anti-gay agenda.
And I don't have to do sh*t. I'm not working within your phony frame. If, IF the judge selection process resulted in a ruling WAY outside the norm of other such rulings, THEN it might raise some eyebrows. And you refuse to show that it's somehow constitutionally unsustainable.
Karolina, no apologies required but thanks nonetheless :-) Yeah these boards, forums and it seems i-comms in general can be brutal and disconcerting. I don't venture much anymore. Some strange and angry people around. And sometimes that's just me.

Dubai dazzling on the catwalk?
The emirate's fashion scene may have been affected by the financial crisis, but some in the industry see a more positive trend in the future.
March 18, 2010 7:17 by Aarti Nagraj
According to the Luxury Goods Worldwide Market Study released last year by research firm Bain & Company, the hardest hit among luxury brands worldwide was apparel, with sales declining by 15 percent.
Popular Indian fashion designer Neeta Lulla, who serves many Dubai clients in Mumbai, told local media in December last year that her clients from the emirate have cut spending by 25 to 30 percent.
According to Khan, many local designers have recognized that consumers are very smart nowadays. "Designers do understand that that the artificial inflation that happened in the market that basically exploded the whole market has come to an end. Yes designers have to wake up and price their stuff accordingly," he says. And competition in the market is so tough, designers cannot afford to go down on quality, he adds.
And while Dubai is still an "infant" in terms of the fashion industry, events like the Dubai Fashion Week are providing spotlight to the market and helping it grow, says Khan. "When we started, it was a local event. But now we have seen it grow from 15 designers in the first season to 45 designers during the upcoming seventh season. And we are now laying more emphasis on calling buyers—from local and international markets.
Some major brands from New York are also taking us more seriously," he says. This season they are hoping that there will be more business at the venue.
In October last year, during the sixth season of the Dubai Fashion Week, Abu Dhabi was hosting Fashion Expo Arabia, and just a month later, in November, Dubai hosted Arabia Fashion Week. Does the region's infant fashion industry need so many events?

Dubai is a wonderful city, but definitely not the first thing I think about when it comes to Fashion. I have been to New York and England's high-streets. They have big name brands but they also have craftsman. Unfortunately, in Dubai its all about the man with the big name. I can buy an Armani but i cant get the pick of clothing craftsman. In Dubai, you get tailors or Brioni. You chose. So ya Dubai will hopefully grow to be a fashion destination. But it sure as hell isn't gonna not gonna be the capital with its hostility to individual designers.

As to the driver's accoutrements, he had but two, his whip and his voice. The whip had a stock 10 feet long made of a hickory sapling with a lash of the same length made of rawhide. Attached to the end of the lash was a strip of soft leather five to six inches long, called a popper or cracker. A similar whip was used by men capturing wild Spanish cattle in the Everglades. The term "cracker" evolved into the language of the Deep South to designate an unsophisticated person. When the whip was cracked, it produced a sound ...

Quote of the Day "The retirement home." --Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, 33, on where he is headed next
Katie Holmes: A Sight for Sore Eyes Rumor has it that those hideous sores that appeared around Katie Holmes's mouth shortly after going public with Tom Cruise in May were from a Church of Scientology "detoxification" procedure involving the vitamin niacin. The New York Daily News suggests that Katie could have gone through Purif, a purification regimen that rids people of toxins. The procedure stems from Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard's declaration that taking niacin in combination with exercise and sauna sessions purges the body of "radiation," Hubbard's shorthand for negative alien substances in the body. Silly us! We assumed Katie got the sores from making out with Tom too much.
Oh, Baby(sitter): More on the Jude Law Nanny Scandal Don't expect Sienna Miller to forgive Jude Law anytime soon. Yesterday's Sunday Mirror reported that just over a week ago, Jude called Daisy Wright, with whom he was having an affair earlier this year, and asked her to meet for lunch. Though they scheduled a date, the meeting never happened because Daisy sold her story about their sexcapades to a British newspaper. Meanwhile, we're still trying to wrap our heads around the New York Post's coverage of Nannygate. It made the front page three times last week. And in one article, they called Jude a "bad-boy actor" -- so not true -- and Sienna an "A-list actress" -- so not true. Must have been a slow news week.
Kevin Federline: Deadbeat Dad Britney's hubby, Kevin Federline, is being called out as a deadbeat dad. Apparently Kev, who is expecting a child with Brit this fall, skipped the first birthday party of his son Kaleb, one of his two children with ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson. Shar's spokeswoman said that Kaleb's birthday "came and went without a visit, present or phone call from Kevin or Britney." Shar has also accused Kevin of stiffing her on child support payments. What a catch, Brit! We're so jealous!
Romance Report Amanda Peet is engaged to Troy screenwriter David Benioff. Contrary to reports, Pamela Anderson says she and Tommy Lee are not getting re-remarried. Damn!

Katie Couric is single again after her reconciliation with businessman Tom Werner fizzled. Wouldn't it be a hoot if she hooked up with cohost Matt Lauer, who is also reportedly flying solo these days? At least they wouldn't have any scheduling issues.

UNH PD gives talk on campus safety
In the last 17 years, Lt. Steven P. Lee has encountered everything from student riots to meth labs, but his most frequent work has been at the University of New Hampshire, his alma mater, where he has come and gone throughout his career in law enforcement.
As the current divisions commander for the UNH Police Department, Lee spoke to students in the Granite State Room Monday night about campus safety. The event was hosted by Alpha Delta Phi (ADP) society, UNH's only coed literary society.
"I think it's beneficial for all students to learn their rights and responsibilities," said ADP member Sean Moreau, who organized the event.
Lee discussed issues regarding alcohol and safety, as well as provided an interactive forum in which students asked him questions pertaining to the law. Many of the audience's questions centered around topics pertaining to underage drinking.
"What exactly is the UNH amnesty program?" one audience member asked. Lee explained that if a student is intoxicated and feels that he or she or someone with them is in distress due to overconsumption of alcohol, if they seek help, they may receive medical amnesty and not face disciplinary action from the UNH Office of Conduct and Mediation.
When students asked Lee about internal possession laws, he said that his top priority isn't arresting people, but keeping people safe.
"I get fired up when an officer gives a minor on foot a field sobriety test," he said. "Intoxication should be obvious."
Lee also gave safety recommendations to students who asked what precautions they could take while walking through campus alone at night. In addition to UNH Safe Rides, students can also call for a police escort to bring them home if they feel vulnerable.
Lee vouched for the blue emergency lights on campus, and said he has seen how they are effective firsthand.
"They work very well, and they get tested every weekend," he said.
When one of the emergency buttons is pressed, all of the lights go off and the intercom systems are automatically turned on, so even if the button isn't being held down, the dispatcher can still hear what is going on.
Lee said that there are currently talks of having another campus walk-through in the spring to determine more areas where the blue emergency lights can be installed on campus.
"I didn't even know those lights worked," said Courtney Wolf, a senior in attendance. "People think that cops are just out to get them in trouble, but they care about safety. A lot of what I learned tonight makes me feel more secure."
Lee said that in the years he has worked at UNH, the most out-of-control situation he has had to deal with were the student riots in 2007 after the Red Sox won the World Series. Even though he has witnessed the mob-mentality come and go, he said there are trade-offs.
"With that, you find less of people looking out for each other," he said. "People don't want someone else getting them in trouble."
Lee encouraged students to ask police officers questions and to not feel uncomfortable doing so, regardless of the issue. With all of the misinformation, he said that police-talks are essential to a safer campus environment.
Students who attended the campus safety talk Monday night received valuable information as Lee explained how to have fun without getting in trouble.
"Don't draw attention to yourself," Lee said. "Just maintain and look out for one another; that's the biggest thing."

SDCC: Fantagraphics Announces New Vaughn Bode Collection
- Written by ThanosCopter on Friday, July 25 2014 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: Comics Reporter
Fantagraphics announced this morning that they will be publishing an oversized collection of underground comix legend Vaughn Bodé entitled "The Big Book of Me". The collection will feature Bodé's Cheech Wizard character. Cheech Wizard appeared in magazines such as National Lampoon, as well as various underground comix over the decade.
Bodé passed away at the age of 33, but he's long been considered to be one of the major early members of the underground movement. According to Wikipedia, his art style was a major influence on the animated version of Lord of the Rings, and his art style and characters have frequently been connected with grafitti artists. Bodé was inducted into the Eisner Hall of Fame in 2005.
Like a lot of early underground comix artists, I'm not very familiar with Bodé's work. However, I look forward to Fantagraphics correcting that when The Big Book of Me is released in April 2015.

Iowa Republican Governor Terry Branstad, the longest-serving governor in the history of the country (excluding pre-U.S. Constitution governors), has served as chief executive of the Hawkeye State for 6,749 days through July 4th (18 years, 5 months, 24 days). That means he has been governor for 11.1 percent of the 60,820 days since Iowa achieved statehood on December 28, 1846. Once Branstad finishes his current term on January 13, 2015, his 7,307 days in office will have made him the state's governor for 11.9 percent of Iowa's post-statehood years. And if Branstad decides to run for a sixth (nonconsecutive) term in 2014 and wins, he will have served 8,770 days by the end of that term on January 15, 2019, or 14.0 percent of the 62,841 days in Iowa's history.
No Free Passes: States With 2 Major Party Candidates in Every US House Race
Gubernatorial Highs and Lows
Two sitting governors currently hold the record for the highest gubernatorial vote ever received in their respective states by a non-incumbent: Republican Matt Mead of Wyoming (65.7 percent in 2010) and outgoing GOPer Dave Heineman of Nebraska (73.4 percent in 2006). Republican Gary Herbert of Utah had not previously won a gubernatorial contest when he notched a state record 64.1 percent for his first victory in 2010, but was an incumbent at the time after ascending to the position in 2009 after the early departure of Jon Huntsman. Meanwhile, two sitting governors hold the record in their states for the lowest mark ever recorded by a winning gubernatorial candidate (incumbent or otherwise): independent-turned-Democrat Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island (36.1 percent in 2010) and Democrat Terry McAuliffe of Virginia (47.8 percent in 2013).
An Idaho Six Pack
Two-term Idaho Republican Governor Butch Otter only polled at 39 percent in a recent PPP survey of the state's 2014 race - just four points ahead of Democratic businessman A.J. Balukoff. Otter's low numbers reflect his own struggles as a candidate (witness his weak primary win against State Senator Russ Fulcher) combined with the opportunity for disgruntled Idahoans to cast their votes for one of four third party and independent candidates, who collectively received the support of 12 percent of likely voters: Libertarian John Bujak, the Constitution Party's Steve Pankey, and independents Jill Humble and Pro-Life (aka Marvin Richardson). The six candidate options in a gubernatorial race sets an all-time record in the Gem State across the 46 elections conducted since statehood. The previous high water mark of five candidates was reached in seven previous cycles: 1902, 1904, 1908, 1912, 1914, 1966, and 2010.

Click Fraud Rate Continues to Rise
- 28-Jan-09 |
ECommerce Guide Staff
More Articles »
- Tweet
Now in its fourth year, the Click Fraud Index monitors and reports on data gathered from the Click Fraud Network, which provides statistically significant industry PPC data collected from online advertising campaigns for both large and small companies across all the leading search engines, according to the company. Key findings from data reported for Q4 2008 include:
- The overall industry average click fraud rate grew to 17.1 percent for Q4 2008. That's up from 16 percent in Q3 2008 and from the 16.6 percent rate reported for Q4 2007.
- The average click fraud rate of PPC advertisements appearing on search engine content networks, including Google AdSense and the Yahoo Publisher Network, was 28.2 percent. That's up from the 27.1 percent rate reported for Q3 2008 and down slightly from the 28.3 percent rate reported for Q4 2007.
- Traffic from botnets was responsible for 31.4 percent of all click fraud traffic in Q4 2008. That's up from the 27.6 percent rate reported for Q3 2008 and the 22 percent rate reported for Q4 2007.
- In Q4 2008, the greatest percentage of click fraud originating from countries outside North America came from Canada (7.4 percent), Germany (3 percent) and China (2.3 percent).
"Based on the data we tracked in Q4 2008, it seems that the online advertising industry is not immune to the growing tide of cybercrime during this recessionary period," said Tom Cuthbert, president of Click Forensics, in a statement. "Both the overall click fraud rate and the rate of click fraud originating from botnets were the highest ever in Q4 2008. In addition, we've started to see old schemes like click farms re-emerge. Advertisers should pay close attention to these types of threats in their online campaigns throughout the year."
The Click Fraud Index publishes data collected from the Click Fraud Network, the industry's independent third-party click fraud detection service dedicated to helping companies more accurately monitor their online advertising campaigns for pay-per-click fraud.
Click fraud data is tracked and published on a quarterly basis for specific search providers, industries and trends. The service is unique in that it monitors online campaigns for click fraud by correlating data collected from search provider campaigns and the advertisers' own Web sites.

Dashboard Series: Update An Entire Excel Dashboard With One Radio Button
Annie Cushing on October 15, 2013 at 8:55 am
In this month's installment of my Excel dashboard series, I'm going to show you a trick that will give you the ability to control an entire dashboard with one menu — in this example, a radio button menu.
For my example, I've put "months" in the menu at the top of the dashboard, but you could put anything in there to segment your charts and tables:
- countries
- marketing channels
- departments in a company
- sales staff
- traffic source
- affiliates
- etc.

Free Industry Report: Consumer Tech Brands, LISTEN UP!
Last night, as I crawled under the covers, I did that thing that we're always told not to do if you want a decent night's sleep. I looked at my smartphone, played a video on YouTube and tucked the screen under my pillow.
There's not much of the waking day that I'm separated from my phone – even at bedtime. It's my alarm (if my cat doesn't get there first), my entertainment on the bus to work, my music player, my way of easily reprimanding my boyfriend for flinging his football socks around the bedroom before work.
WordPress vs Drupal: Choosing the Best Free CMS Solution for Your Site

However, we shouldn't forget about a number of other awesome options, like Drupal, Joomla, and other. (more…)

From 3D to 4K and Beyond: The Highs and Lows of Futuristic TVs
Personally, I don't regard a television as a gadget. It's a staple that I have grown up with and is as essential as toast, or perhaps even air to me!

Tracking the Holiday Hype: Who's Excited About Halloween?
At the beginning of September on a trip to the theme parks of Orlando, I spent a day in the Magic Kingdom. It was, of course, utterly magical – but one strange thing I noticed was that the entire theme park was decked out in shades of burnt orange, red and brown, with carved pumpkins and scarecrows at every turn.
The whole place was already geared up for Halloween – a full two months early. Madness, I thought.

A Tale of Two Tech Giants: Why You Can't Always Trust The Buzz Alone
Estimating how a product will fare in its market before its release is vital to every product launch, allowing you to work out ROI, stock levels, distribution, pricing strategies and so on and so forth.
Traditionally, companies went to potential customers to test their shiny new products and gauge how they would field in the real world. For example, Google Glass allowed fans to buy their beta product for £1,000. That's right, £1,000 for an unfinished product.

This is a really good lookin CD player, the display looks great at night when its dark but is also really easy to see during the day.
The sound quality is perfect, even with the volume up loud, although ive never had it right up because believe me it can go really really loud, but if thats what you want then this is for you.
The effects are really good as well the Xplod one really adds bass to the sound and your car will be shaking.
It takes a bit of getting used to to use, figuring out what all the buttons do, i mean who reads instruction manuals, but once you get the hang of it its fine.
