Poor Grahm…
So, if Regina has been keeping Daniel's body preserved in a glass coffin, what is in the grave that Regina showed Snow before she ate the apple? Is the grave empty? Did the writers just forget about it (even thought it was in one of the most iconic scenes of the first season)? For some reason, this is the thing in "The Doctor" that bothered me the most.

Just… Legalize it.
Tobacco is a plant that is proven to cause cancer and other health problems and cost the NHS and British tax payers millions. The fact that tobacco is legal and Marijuana isn't, is madness. This article explains that Marijuana is a herb that COULD have major health benefits and could make people who are struggling to cope with mental and terminal illness' lives much better.
If people are aloud to damage themselves through Tobacco and Alcohol, why are people restricted on something that could help them?

Earthquake still shaking up for Epping recreation center
EPPING - Damage to the town's historic Watson Academy possibly caused by October's 4.0 earthquake that shook New Hampshire has recreation officials looking for a new home.
Recreation Director Nicole Bizzaro is exploring options after the building - a former school that houses the recreation center - was forced to close following the discovery of cracks and other structural problems in the building that was built in 1883 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
With the future of Watson Academy uncertain, Bizzaro recently met with the school district's superintendent and business administrator to discuss the possibility of moving the recreation center to the school administrative office building.
"I think there's definitely a lot of potential in the site from a recreational standpoint," Bizzaro told selectmen at a board meeting Monday night.
The recreation center's activities have temporarily relocated to the elementary and middle schools while Bizzaro's office was moved to the town hall.
Selectmen hired SFC Engineering Partnership Inc. of Auburn in October to assess the damage to Watson Academy and prepare a report detailing the structural problems and recommendations for repairs.
A draft of a report was recently provided to selectmen, but the company is expected to prepare a more complete report with cost estimates and more information on repairs, selectmen said.
Repairing Watson Academy could cost anywhere from $100,000 to as much as $500,000, said Selectman Karen Falcone, board chairman.
Any proposal to spend big money on repairs would have to be decided by voters, and with town meeting just around the corner in March, selectmen said there's little time to plan a warrant article.
"Time is of the essence here. . The recreation department has been displaced and we need to decide what we're going to do with it," Town Administrator Greg Dodge said.
Bizzaro said it's possible that the recreation center could relocate to the school administrative building, which is owned by the town and has a field. Some renovations would be needed, but she said she feels it's the best option if Watson Academy is going to remain closed.
Assuming that it'll remain closed for the foreseeable future, selectmen voted Monday to winterize Watson Academy.

Forlorn Lyrics - Dark Lunacy
Entrapping My Heart
Into The Obscurity
Enchanting My Eyes
Into The Grey Misery
Something Is Marching Straight To Myself
Still I Am Ruling My Castle Of Dust.
Awake By My Dream
Everything Sleep. All Is Gone,
I Wait For Its Touch
Turning The Dust Into Stone.
Something Is Marching Straight To Myself
Still I Am Ruling My Castle Of Dust.

Follow My Breathing
Time Is Breaking
Gathering Its Sad Ruins
The Land Are Quivering
I Feel It Close
Tell Me The Story, Tell Me That Place
What's About Where You Come From
How Many Realms You Destroyed
How Many Realms Live By Your Light
Where Do We Belong Now?
Embracing My Land
Without The Missing Of Past
Today Will Not Cry
Even This Day It's The Last
Something Is Marching To The Skyline Above
Still I Am Ruling My Castle Of Ice.
Forlorn I'm Sleeping 'Till The Sun Will Araise.

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - A 21-year-old man has been shot and killed in south St. Louis.
Police say officers on patrol Saturday night heard shots in the 2800 block of Pennsylvania where they found the body of 21-year-old Anthony Avery of St. Louis in an alley. He'd been shot to death.
An 18-year-old man has been arrested.
Police say robbery may have been the motive.

In the same piece, Davis wrote skeptically about how Black images can be constructed as "arrested moments" and as easily recyclable, commodifiable and nostalgic. What form does the mark of what has happened before take? Will we ever come to know a prefix? (via i am a prefix | THE STATE)
Here's the thing. I'm afraid that perhaps what's arresting imagination, that is to say, life, isn't a prefix but rather a system of thought: spouting a "rise in Africa" alongside big hair, Afropunk fest's NEW BROOKLYN, forced onto bodies through Barclays, through eminent domain. Fungible images produce fungible objects. Dominant culture-friendly images are more easily sold than near-dead images, than prisoners. (But prisoners are sold, too.) (via i am a prefix | THE STATE)
It seems to be, then, a friendly sort of take-home-to-dinner "afro-anything" that induces shivers. Its forms sometimes take a declaration of worldliness that is speaks to a neoliberal pull to show off who you are, perhaps vis-à-vis what you buy, read, listen to, your cultured self. (via i am a prefix | THE STATE)
n the end, I do and I don't have stakes beyond four letters.
I am a prefix, who no one will ever possess—not the blogger, artist, or academic.
I can be a vile little thing. I am carried around, attached to places as ornaments—but the kind of ornament that will change the whole affective shimmer of my grandmother's sitting room.
I am a prefix. If I'm not there, I can more easily be forgotten. Or so it goes. (via i am a prefix | THE STATE)
No matter how big or small, modest or grandiose, a takht is merely a place to have company. The top-down urban planners keep on attempting to define this in terms of a permanent, taxable, institution but the takht is far more slippery than this. The takht is an almost-mystical space where individuals become a community and a society. Community-constructed public space. I'll raise a glass of chai to that. (via in praise of the takht | THE STATE)
This would be larger and weirder than the failed town squares of Brasilia and Chandigarh. Something closer to Kenzo Tange's harbor-spanning plan for Tokyo or any other fantasia of Metabolism. The takht gives us the opportunity to populate these yawning spaces with as many friends as we can fit. Something like Istanbul's Istiklal iftar comes to mind. One can even, if one wants to get more ecumenical about it, discuss the Panj Takht from which Sikh practice emanate. Or one can be grandiose and build The World's Largest Teahouse like in Tajikistan. The takht allows us to reimagine our conception of friend, needing not a common interest or an enemy, but just common space. The takht is a common reference, no matter what one's class, family, or profession. (via in praise of the takht | THE STATE)
It all starts—as it does with most weird ideas—with Slavs and Tatars. Reading their Khhhhhh one comes across a short description of a takht, described as a "group of roughly four or five people without the unfortunate and unspoken delineation of individual space dictated by the meager chair. Friends, families, and colleagues sit, smoke shisheh, sip tea, eat lunch, take naps, and create however momentarily a sense of public space." (via in praise of the takht | THE STATE)
And yet we take secret joy in images of stolen goods. We share the pictures of the riot cops falling backward, revealed as mere humans underneath their ballistic armor, this détournement of our own media shield against the blows coming at us. In those falling plate glass windows are the Super Bowl ads and the flat screen TVs, and we delight at watching them shatter back into their component pieces of garbage. The black flag of this street battle is the knowledge that media can have more permanency than things. Objects can be destroyed, buildings pulled apart and hurled through the air. Any sort of politics that relies upon the sanctity of certain material goods will end up crumbling in time. The black flag will wave in the endless flow of history above these ruins, a projection in memory which can never burn. (via the broken window strategy | THE STATE)
There is a vast media dimension that can only be seen when peering into the bounds of image or video. This world is like ours; it is formed from it. The material of reality is scooped up and baked into its bricks, stacked, and lengthened into its walls and terraces. The media dimension extends outward from our world into a fourth dimension: of memory and record. And inside of this dimension there is a battle raging. (via the broken window strategy | THE STATE)
At Denbigh, thinking about the way that industrial modernity was a thing that the farmers were practicing, showing off to those paid entry, I wondered of the concurrent governmental slogan: Is this future-oriented environmental unpredictability a knowledge or a feeling the Caribbean has always known? Why are we asking if Jamaica is catching up to the idea that local food is better? And that other poor countries should catch up too? Is it startling to think that a country that is pre-industrialization (if industrialization is the goal) is growing its own food? Why are we so quick to embrace "local food" as some sort of deliberate practice that only becomes legible against initiatives of the same name? The aesthetics of agricultural independence are palatable through crisp khaki school uniforms, hard work and discipline. (via jamaica and the aesthetics of agricultural (in)dependence | THE STATE)
he accompanying photographs to the article, little black boys in school uniforms farming carrots, fosters a national DIY approach in which global mechanisms of dispossession are lost. The type of "fuck yeah farming" that is culled from NYT's article and images jacks off the local food fetishes in such a way that modes of survival are, too, lost. (via jamaica and the aesthetics of agricultural (in)dependence | THE STATE)
"Grow what we eat, eat what we grow," then, is a sexy-as-fuck slogan that has ballooned and is seamlessly subsumed into Western media especially. At the end of the summer, the New York Times published an article by Damien Cave called "As Cost of Importing Food Soars, Jamaica Turns to the Earth," which marks the country as on the cutting-edge of a now global sustainable food movement because of its government's push of the slogan as a food security campaign almost ten years ago. Like any good travel piece (which it was not), the piece starts with the smells and tastes of the island and ends with an image of future hands tilling soil. What was missing here was any mention of the IMF and World Bank structural adjustment programs in the 1980s, a legacy that lives on. What was missing, too, was that Jamaica's own dairy industry was destroyed by the U.S.'s powdered milk imports. Any old American who has seen Life and Debt can tell you that. (via jamaica and the aesthetics of agricultural (in)dependence | THE STATE)
Bitcoin, technophilic headline-grabber of contemporary times, is a cryptocurrency. What this means is not that the transactions are encrypted, but the method by which the units of currency exist is guaranteed by cryptography. Bitcoins are just a series of numbers, and no one runs Bitcoin. The only reason that I own Bitcoin #101 rather than you is because the transaction log says that you gave it to me, and I haven't given it to anyone else yet. It is this log, enclosed in what is called the 'blockchain,' that is guaranteed by cryptography. (via bitcoin logic | THE STATE)
I'm of the opinion that art is always designed for the the future. Even the most ephemeral of artworks will hopefully create a lasting impression in the mind of someone. Art for a future of proliferating objects might be made of recycled material, or it might not. But I think that this art must change the way that we think about objects. Because objects will change us and the world, even more than they have already. Hopefully our headspaces will follow, before our mental repressions drown us. (via remember your things | THE STATE)

Kansas forward Thomas Robinson has declared himself eligible for the 2012 NBA Draft. He is rated as the second or third prospect behind Kentucky center Anthony Davis.
Robinson enjoyed a great junior season after showing glimpses of this in his first two seasons. Robinson was the first unanimous All-American from the Big-12 since Blake Griffin. He averaged 18 points and 12 rebounds per game for the National runners-up. Robinson led the country with 27 double-doubles.
Robinson made national headlines early last year, after his mother died of a heart-attack. He became a legal guardian of his younger sister, Jayla. The two also lost their grandmother and grandfather right before their mother.
A fellow Big 12 conference member, Perry Jones III also declared for the NBA today. Jones from Baylor, is leaving two seasons early. He was projected as an early pick last season, but decided to return for another year. Jones averaged 14 points and eight rebounds this season for the Bears who made it to the regional finals round.
Robinson has a body built for the NBA, now we will have to wait until June 28th to see what lucky team picks him. Jones on the other hand, has great potential, but some NBA teams may balk at drafting him. Jones has great talent and could one day be an all-star or he could be a bust.

When they hit the big time, authors, like actors and politicians, find that their pasts become open season. Politicians' voting records are scrutinized. Actors' early films are reviewed. And authors' early works are pored over by publishers eager to find something, anything, to sell on the wave of current popularity.
Sometimes, the early writing is exciting. When it's not, writers often prefer to keep the passages locked up. That is why a handful of authors (and agents) are grumbling about next month's issue of Philadelphia Magazine, in which excerpts of stories written by now famous authors while in college are being reprinted.

Kendrick Lamar featuring Drake – Poetic Justice | Video
Borrowing its title from Janet Jackson's 1993 film and a vocal sample from her hit record "Any Time, Any Place" from the same year, Kendrick Lamar presents the visuals for the Drake-assisted "Poetic Justice." The Scoop DeVille-produced track serves as the perfect compliment to a tragedy-filled treatment that seems in line with the narrative Lamar tried to paint for good kid, m.A.A.d city. While the Compton emcee reached out to Janet Jackson herself to be in the video and she seemed game, unfortunately Ms. Jackson doesn't make an appearance.

Clashes as youths and police scuffle on teen death anniversary (Greece)
Youths hurled rocks and petrol bombs at police during clashes at a student rally marking two years since the fatal police shooting of a teenage boy that sparked Greece's worst riots in decades. Sporadic clashes lasting more than two hours occurred in several parts of central Athens after 2,500 people marched to parliament to commemorate the death of 15-year-old.
Is our Constitution under siege?
Many civil liberties advocates fear it might be. They're worried about a provision tucked into the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act, approved by the Senate last week, that would allow the military to detain without a trial any American citizen accused of being a terrorist, or of supporting terrorists who plot attacks against the United States. The ACLU called the proposal "an extreme position that will forever change our country."
The indefinite detention provision is just one of many trends in policing and law enforcement that have civil liberties advocates alarmed. New external threats, as well as technological advancements, are posing new challenges to our Constitutional rights, advocates say. Policymakers are debating those issues in Congress and in the courts right now, and the decisions they make could have fundamental consequences for what it means to be an American.
Here are five issues that are especially worrisome to civil liberties watchdogs:
1. Indefinite military detentions of U.S. citizens
2. Targeting U.S. citizens for killing
3. Arresting witnesses for recording police actions
4. Using GPS to track your every move
5. Surveillance drones spying on American soil

This is some scary news for Americans, but to look at it on the bright side it shows that the powers that be are getting scared as they begin to see the people rising up.

Is Mad Money based on the Brassiere Brigade?
Posted by The Curator on Thu Jan 03, 2008
Happy New Years everyone! My apologies for the absence of posts for the past week. I was on vacation, visiting family on the east coast and in Arizona. One month ago I posted about a group of female criminals from the 1950s called the "Brassiere Brigade." They stole money from the counting room of a telephone company, where they worked, by smuggling rolls of quarters out in their bras. I only discovered the story of these women by accident when I came across a reference to them in an old newspaper. I thought I had stumbled upon an incredibly obscure story, and…

F-Word in Enchanted
Posted by The Curator on Thu Nov 29, 2007
The rumor going around online is that in one of the previews for the new Disney movie Enchanted, you can hear someone say "Get the f*ck outta here." The preview in question shows the Prince attacking a bus. The exclamation can be heard around 30 seconds into it, as the bus driver is walking out of the bus. The first time I listened to it, it definitely sounded like "Get the f*ck outta here." But when I listened to it again, it sounded more like "Get that bus outta here." Basically, it seems to me it could be interpreted either way. Who's to say what…

Undercover Agent Shuts Down Bradbury Play

Joe Littrell forwarded me this strange news story posted at scifidimensions.com. I can't tell if it's real or a joke. Supposedly a man identifying himself as "Agent Egan," a California "undercover investigator," halted a performance of Ray Bradbury's play Dandelion Wine at the Fremont Center Theatre, half an hour into the performance. Bradbury himself was in the audience. The play, one of Bradbury's most autobiographical works, includes performances by several young actors, and when the announcement was made from the stage about the cancellation 30 minutes after the scheduled start time, reference was made to an obscure California…

For the second time in six months, the hosts of Blue Peter have had to apologize for deceiving their viewers.

I remember watching it as a kid when my family lived in London. The latest incident involves a cat named Cookie. The show had asked their viewers to vote on what to name the next Blue Peter Cat. 40,000 votes were cast, and the name "Cookie" won, but the Blue Peter production team decided…

I know it should come as no surprise to learn that a reality TV show has been faked, but it still kind of sucks to hear this about Born Survivor (aired in America on the Discovery Channel as Man vs. Wild), since I've watched quite a few episodes of this show and enjoyed it. The premise of the show is that Bear Grylls, a former soldier with the UK Special Forces, is dropped into various extreme situations (on top of a mountain, on a desert island, etc.) and has to survive on his own until he gets rescued. Obviously there's a camera crew with him constantly, so he's never in that much danger. Still, learning that…

Yes, I realize that for most of you, explaining that "reality" shows are, shall we say, directed, if not outright scripted is as much of a revelation aas saying the Earth revolves around the Sun, but one doesn't often get a look at the actual casting process behind finding some of the people who appear on a "reality show".

Flip This House Fake
Posted by The Curator on Thu Jun 07, 2007
My wife is a big fan of all the home-design shows that are on TV, so I end up watching a lot of them also, including "Flip This House" on A&E. The show follows people who buy homes, remodel them, and then try to sell them for a higher price. It can be entertaining, but I wasn't surprised to read that at least one of the house flippers featured on the show, Atlanta businessman Sam Leccima, was a fake: McGee and others say Leccima's episodes of Flip This House, A&E's most popular show, were elaborate hoaxes.

Bruce Lee Theme Park Patrolled by Mannequin Robots
Posted by The Curator on Wed Nov 29, 2006
There's word of a Bruce Lee theme park being built in China. Nothing particularly weird about that, and no reason not to believe it's true. Here's the weird part: According to local reports, the park will be patrolled by Bruce Lee "mannequin robots", radio-controlled from within a giant statue of the late star. Also, there's going to be a rollercoaster "that emits the martial arts actor's signature grunts and screams on high-speed bends." Sounds kind of cool. I'm guessing that the part about the mannequin robots somehow got lost in translation. In reality, they'll probably have people dressed up…

This week we're taking a break from the serious stuff books and heading into the kitchen!
This Thursday on Woman-Stirred Radio, just in time for Mother's Day award-winning baking authority Judy Rosenberg's famous Rosie's Bakeries are a beloved New England institution, her mouthwatering confections have garnered countless Best of Boston awards, and her legendary Chocolate Orgasm Brownie is pure gustatory ecstasy.
When it comes to sweet indulgences, Rosenberg knows that great desserts call for authentic ingredients: real butter, real cream, real chocolate, and lots of it!!
|Judy Rosenberg
As a self-taught baker whose career began in a tiny Boston apartment (every doorknob was coated in chocolate and the sugar-dusted floor crunched with every step) Rosenberg is a connoisseur of real homemade flavor and her recipes are easy, crowd-pleasing, and irresistible. In The Rosie's Bakery All-Butter, Cream-Filled, Sugar-Packed Baking Book, Rosenberg offers the home cook words of encouragement, step-by-step instructions, and helpful tips for everything from writing on a cake to decorating with fresh flowers to salvaging a mistake to executing a delicious "end-of-anxiety" pie crust.
Judy Rosenberg opened the Rosie's Bakery in Cambridge, Ma, in 1974. The bakery now has three locations and has won dozens of awards, including Best Bakery Sweets, Best Brownies, best Cakes, Best Chocolate Chip Cookie, and Best Pecan Pie. Judy lives in Newton, MA.

Some of Workman's's suggestions include: The English Muffin Pizza as a breakfast alternative; lunches that won't get tossed or returned; snacks that don't come in crinkly bags; entrées to feed the overnight vegetarian convert; seafood mains that even fish-o-phobes will embrace: best-shot vegetable dishes; and the fudgiest brownies you'll ever eat . . . made using only one pot!
Workman shows moms how to crack open the door for the salad rejector and how to make an enticing entrée with whatever's in the fridge. Her recipes include brilliant shortcuts, such as a four-ingredient casserole perfect for family and company, and cooking flank steak in the broiler—so quick and simple!
wise tips, personal anecdotes, and wry one-liners sprinkled throughout. Exemplifying the deliciousness of simplicity, each of her smart, crowd-pleasing recipes masterfully combines basic ingredients and ingenious techniques for extraordinary results.

A Fork in the Road recipe lets you make one basic dish while still catering to different tastes. Example: Your picky eater is less adventurous with couscous than the rest of your family. After the couscous is cooked, set aside a portion to be kept plain, then add the rest of the spices and vegetables to the remaining couscous.
What the Kids Can Do sidebars include ways kids can join in and help prepare the recipes. Example: When making Corn Chowder, kids can crumble cooled bacon, smash up cooked potatoes and vegetables, and sprinkle individual portions with scallions and chives.
Make Ahead recipes are ones you can prepare in advance and store in the fridge or freezer to eat sometime later—they're even better than leftovers.
Each of the 100 recipes is complemented by mouthwatering color photographs taken by Todd Coleman, executive food editor of Saveur magazine. The result is an attractive, easy to understand, indispensable resource that every mom will be grateful for every day of the week.

- You see the premiere of "Freak Dance" (which was hilarious)
- There is fast food
- Hannibal Burress makes you laugh
- Some kick-ass band named Langhorne Slim and the Law plays a set*
- You don't pay a dollar for any of it.
You should have seen my face when they announced Reggie Watts was going to perform. I lost my mind. I went from
- to
- to having an emotional breakdown at how fucking awesome tonight has been
I have no regrets.
*sidenote: I have been listening to Frontier Ruckus a lot lately. I had been avoiding them because they reminded me of Matt and that normally led to crying fits and homesickness and tumblrposts that get taken way out of context by tweens/reblogged by "fuck yeah love" etc.
For some reason, they have really been touching my heart. Everything they have recorded is absolutely beautiful. It made me miss my guitar. It was this sound that I needed and I wanted to replicate and be a part of somehow. I haven't played in months and left my shitty hand-me-down guitar at home because I figured I wouldn't have time to play at all.
So I bought a guitar.
A cheap, not so great Fender acoustic. It's getting the job done.
The band that played at UCB was such a pleasant surprise because they were like the upbeat Frontier Ruckus I needed to hear. The banjo player was just amazing. Everything about their performance was great. If you get the chance, listen to both these bands. You won't regret it.

The Great Debate UK
from The Great Debate:
How the Nobel economists changed investing forever
The 2013 Nobel Prize for economics celebrates that financial markets work, but cautions how little we know. One theme unifies the work of all three winners: Eugene Fama, Robert Shiller and Lars Hansen -- risk. (A disclosure: until August I worked at Dimensional Fund Advisors, where Fama is a director and consultant.) Risk is unpredictable, but can be very profitable. That sounds simple enough, but it has profound implications -- not only for the lords of high finance, but households, too. Risk teaches humility, to overconfident investors and also policymakers. That humility was notably absent at the IMF/World Bank meetings last week. Policymakers should take special note of the prize this year; it reveals how little we really understand about financial markets.
Fama's work showed that prices incorporate all available information; this is known as the efficient market hypothesis. The implication is that you cannot systematically outperform the market, unless you have information other people don't or can access part of the market others can't. But that doesn't mean you can't make money. Over time you can expect, but are not guaranteed, that riskier assets generate higher returns. Stocks, on average, return more than bonds because they are riskier. The stock of smaller companies is riskier than larger ones, so they typically generate more returns. It's a straightforward concept, but often poorly understood. Even many sophisticated investors get it wrong.
The implications of this theory changed markets, even for the average investor. The concept of efficient markets helped create demand for index funds. Index funds are a type of mutual fund, which is a collection of many different stocks. Active funds profess to know which stocks will outperform the market. Index funds don't make that promise; stocks are weighted by their size relative to the rest of the market or use a weighting based on identifiable price or size characteristics. Because there's no magic formula or talent presumed in constructing these funds, they are cheap; if no one can beat the market, why pay 1 or 2 percent of your assets to someone who claims they can? If you believe in efficient markets you'd only hold index funds. This has been revolutionary for the average investor. Through the 1960s few Americans owned stock at all, and if they did they only held a handful of individual stocks, which was very risky. Now about 50 percent of the population owns stock, mostly through mutual funds and increasingly with allocations based on indexing. The average household can invest as well as many hedge funds, for a fraction of the price. The existence of index funds shows that the best innovations (in finance or any industry) are often the simplest.
Fama's later work, and the work of the other new Nobelists, further refined our understanding of risk. Fama's more recent work helped us understand what kinds of risk investors are compensated for and how the return from risk varies over time and with economic conditions. Shiller's work showed that asset prices are more volatile than models would predict, but there may be some predictability to returns over long horizons. Shiller may be skeptical that asset prices accurately reflect all information, but he still believes markets work. He advocates more financial innovation, based on his ideas, including products that hedge housing price risk and swings in economic activity.
from MacroScope:
The Law of Diminishing Greeks
The Law of Diminishing Returns states that a continuing push towards a given goal tends to decline in effectiveness after a certain amount of effort has been expended. If this weren't the case, Usain Bolt would be able to run the mile in less than 2-1/2 minutes.
From an economic standpoint, this law now seems to be fully in force in Greece. The latest jobs figures from the twice-bailed out euro zone country paint a bleak numerical picture of the impact of unrelenting austerity in ordinary Greeks, regardless of whether it was self-inflicted or not. To wit:
from The Great Debate:
The limits of the scientific method in economics and the world
By Roger Martin
The opinions expressed are his own.
This is part one of this essay. Read part two here.
As the economy teeters and the capital markets gyrate, I can't get out of my mind the evening of May 19, 2009. We were near the stock market nadir and fears were cresting that we were heading straight into the next Great Depression. I was invited to a dinner along with half a dozen tables of guests to hear a very prominent macroeconomist opine on the state of the economy and the path to recovery.
The economist held forth with a detailed, analytical account of what had caused the economic meltdown in the second half of 2008 and the path that he predicted recovery would take. I was struck by how scientific he was, spewing myriad statistics, employing technical terms by the boatload, and praising his econometric model. It was 'very sophisticated'. Given the nods and encouraged looks in the room, it seemed as though he had provided great comfort to the guests; they could go to bed confident that thanks to his science, they could trust that this man knew where we were headed.
from Ian Bremmer:
The secret to China's boom: state capitalism
By Ian Bremmer
The views expressed are his own.
One of the biggest changes we've seen in the world since the 2008 financial crisis can be summed up in one sentence: Security is no longer the primary driver of geopolitical developments; economics is. Think about this in terms of the United States and its shifting place as the superpower of the world. Since World War II, the U.S.'s highly developed Department of Defense has ensured the security of the country and indeed, much of the free world. The private sector was, well, the private sector. In a free market economy, companies manage their own affairs, perhaps with government regulation, but not with government direction. More than sixty years on, perhaps that's why our military is the most technologically advanced in the world while our domestic economy fails to create enough jobs and opportunities for the U.S. population.
Contrast the U.S. and its free market economy with China's system. For years now, that country has experienced double digit growth. Many observers would say that China's embrace of capitalism since 1978, and especially since joining the World Trade Organization in 2001, has been responsible for its boom. They would be mostly wrong. In fact, a new study prepared for the U.S. government says it's not capitalism that's powering China, but state capitalism -- China's massive, centrally directed industrial policy, where the government positions huge amounts of capital and labor in economic sectors it intends to nurture. The study, prepared by consultants Capital Trade for the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, reads in part:
from MacroScope:
Give me liberty and give me cash!
Come back Mr Fukuyama, all is forgiven.
In his 1992 book "The End of History and the Last Man", American political scientist Francis Fukuyama famously argued that all states were moving inexorably towards liberal democracy. His thesis that democracy is the pinnacle of political evolution has since been challenged by the violent eruption of radical Islam as well as the economic success of authoritarian countries such as China and Russia.
Now a study by Russian investment bank Renaissance Capital into the link between economic wealth and democracy seems to back Fukuyama.
from MacroScope:
The iPod – the iCon of Chinese capitalism
Walking past Apple's sleek shop along London's Regent Street on Sunday, my wife asked me what I wanted for Father's Day.
"An iPad?" I ventured, half-jokingly.
"Are you sure you want one? Don't you care how they're made?" came her disapproving reply.
Superstar economics: It's all showbiz now
By Laurence Copeland. The opinions expressed are his own.
It seems barely a week goes by without another shock report about the ever-widening gap between those at the top of the earnings distribution and the rest of us. The facts are by now well-established. Throughout the Western world, but most noticeably in Britain and America, the earnings of the top one or two percent are accelerating into the stratosphere, leaving the middle class a long way behind, and the working class completely out of sight. How can one explain this global phenomenon?
Academic economics seems to be taking a surprisingly long time to reach a definitive answer, but I suspect there will turn out to be two long term trends at work here.
from Felix Salmon:
Greenspan squanders his final reserve of credibility
Thank you, internet: Henry Farrell and his commenters have all the snark so desperately required in response to Alan Greenspan's ludicrous op-ed in the FT. And they're not alone: as Alex Eichler notes, "everyone is laughing at Alan Greenspan today". Greenspan could hardly have made himself look like more of an idiot if he'd tried, not only because the "notably rare exceptions" construction is so inherently snarkworthy, but also because it's so boneheadedly stupid. Anything which normally makes money is a good idea if you ignore the times that it doesn't work.
That said, it's worth looking in a bit more detail at Greenspan's nutty ramblings, because scarily they're actually representative of what much of the financial sector believes these days. (And Clive Crook, too.) The context is the GOP-controlled Congress, which has the ability to hobble or even abolish key parts of Dodd-Frank. And Greenspan is urging them on, saying that the early consequences of Dodd-Frank "do not bode well". In order to do this, he first sets up a straw man, saying that Dodd-Frank was designed to "readily address" the causes of the financial crisis. It wasn't, of course, but Greenspan pretends it does, and proceeds to give five examples of how it fails to do so, helpfully delineated with bullet points.
from MacroScope:
The IMF to turn on the rich
The latest International Monetary Fund meeting ended with emerging market powers getting a pledge from the organisation for stronger and "more even-handed" scrutiny of what is going on in large advanced economies.
As Reuters correspondents Lesley Wroughton and Emily Kaiser report here, the decision is a response to long-running frustrations among emerging economies, which reckon the Fund has not been tough enough on its biggest shareholders, led by the United States.
from MacroScope:
Will China make the world green?
Joschka Fischer was never one to mince words when he was Germany's foreign minister in the late '90s and early noughts. So it is not overly surprising that he has painted a picture in a new post of a world with only two powers -- the United States and China -- and an ineffective and divided Europe on the sidelines.
More controversial, however, is his view that China will not only grow into the world's most important market over the coming years, but will determine what the world produces and consumes -- and that that will be green.

Day 79
Every good and perfect gift
is from above.
James 1:17
My child, I love to give good gifts to you. Do you think a parent would deliberately present you with a poisonous snake on your birthday? Of course not. In the same way, I delight in giving you the desires of your heart. Some of My gifts may not seem as good or perfect as others, but remember, miracles sometimes hide in the most ordinary places.
Lord, I can celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays all year long—all because of Your generosity. Your gifts are perfect, always good, and always best for us. For gifts of friendship, family, health, and salvation—but mostly for the gift of Yourself, Lord—I give You thanks.
Blessed are those who give generously, for they shall reap what they sow./blockquote>

The day was May 29th 1997. The Utah Jazz hold a 3-2 lead in the series heading back to Houston for Game 6 where Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley and Clyde Drexler await. Late in the 4th quarter Houston holds a 96-86 lead on the Jazz and it looks as though they will force a game 7 back in Utah to try and win the conference finals but John Stockton and the Jazz were not about to give up on this chance to go to their first NBA finals. The Jazz finish the game on a 17-4 run including a John Stockton 3 a the buzzer that is the most iconic shot in Utah Jazz history.
John Stockton took over late in the game scoring 15 of his 25 team high points in the 4th quarter. Stockton was 8-15 from the field including 3-6 from 3, he also chipped in his expected 13 assists and 2 steals. Karl Malone had 24 points shooting 11-24 from the field and also had 11 rebound on the game. Greg Ostertag made huge defensive plays all game long for the Jazz clogging up the middle and forcing tough shots at the rim. He was the 3rd Jazz member to have a double double in Game 6 with 16 points and 14 rebounds, a perfect 6-6 from the field and 4-4 from the free throw line.
This day will forever be one of the greatest days in Utah Jazz history. This game is burned into every Jazz fans brain that was lucky enough to watch it. We all can still hear the words ringing in our ears "John Stockton sends the Utah Jazz to the NBA Finals" to go with Stockton jumping up and down and Malone running over to grab his teammate and embrace him. The game, shot and sounds will never be forgotten and we will always remember that game 17 years ago, the biggest game in Utah Jazz history.

That headline obviously is not true. Pollution in no instance is good for human health and Mother Earth. In fact, the fact is pollution is harmful for human health and Mother Earth. Somehow this important point gets missed in the Climate Change debate.
Sarah Palin, who, ironically, is the former Governor of Alaska, a state which prides itself on its natural beauty, continues to disregard concern about pollution since from her perspective the climate is always changing and such changes can never be proven to be caused by human beings. Save-the-pollution Sarah has even gone as far to compare efforts to tie climate change to behavior of humans and corporations to the eugenics movement of the early 20th century. "Climate change is to this century what eugenics was to the last century. It's hysteria and a lot of it's junk science. And when it's as discredited as eugenics, you know a lot of people are going to look very foolish and heartless."
Sarah, lover of pollution, is looking very foolish.
But Sarah is not the only one being foolish. Shame on the rest of us for allowing the debate to be restricted to climate change.

At least Bush/Cheney are no longer authorizing torture/rendition. Thank God for that.
What therefore God hath joined together the State of North Carolina has not been able to put asunder. Amen!
What therefore God hath joined together Thom Tillis has not been able to put asunder.
What therefore God hath joined together – and I'm just loving using the King James Version for this special occasion – What therefore God had joined together fundamentalist Christians have not been able to what? —— to put asunder.
What therefore God hath joined together – homophobic straight heterosexuals, spreaders of malicious myths about sexual and gender identity minorities, predictors of the demise of the United States and the institution of marriage if marriage equality were realized, kinfolk who have not accepted LGBT children of God including some who have made life hell on earth for their LGBT relatives– none of those people have been able to put asunder what God has joined together.
We knew -we knew the promises of love made between woman and woman between man and man between a transgender or bisexual person and the love of their life – we knew the day was surely coming when those promises would not only be honored by God but would also be honored by our state and our nation. For North Carolinians, for Tar Heels, that day has arrived.
Ten years ago I had the honor of officiating at the marriage ceremony of two women who turned out to be like a second set of parents for my son. I and others gathered on that special day heard the two ladies make life promises to each other. We saw them exchange rings. We saw them kiss. We saw their mile-wide smiles as they were announced to the crowd. We saw them eat, drink and dance, shake what their momma gave them. It was a par-ty! ——Sadly, ten years ago I was unable to sign a North Carolina marriage license for them.
The days of marriage inequality in North Carolina are finally over. The state of North Carolina is no longer able to put asunder what God has joined together. Thanks be to God. And thanks to all who have worked so hard, including congregations and clergy in Charlotte, who have worked tirelessly for this wonderful day to happen, a day on which marriage promises have been made by LGBT people and on which such promises have been recognized by the state of North Carolina.

Review of "Chica Busca Chica" ("Girl Seeks Girl")
Mónica has earned her well-known title "Psycho" for her obsessive clinginess. After trying for two years to sleep with Nines and finally accomplishing the feat, she immediately wants to spend the rest of her life with her. Embodying the U-Haul stereotype, they quickly get into a relationship, with Mónica oblivious to the dismissive Nines's ulterior motives (a free place to stay and proximity to Carmen).
Though her love life is pathetic, Mónica is a writer and former Judo champion. After excessive cajoling from her mother, Mónica agrees to coach a young Olympic hopeful for Spain's Judo team.
Carmen, a successful psychotherapist, is reeling in the aftermath of
walking in on her boyfriend cheating with another woman. She has
difficulty analyzing the problems of her patients amidst the turbulence
of her own once-solid relationship, and Carmen begins to question her
sexual identity.
The series does well in avoiding making all men look like bad guys. While it portrays Carmen's boyfriend as a jerk, it also documents Nines's infidelities throughout her relationship with Rossi. The series illustrates disappointments in all types of relationships and the problems that anyone, regardless of sexual orientation, can face.
Chica Busca Chica also presents some of the joys and tragedies of coming out as a lesbian in the city of Madrid. Ana is a budding actress (the crowning achievement of her theatrical resume is the role of a cotton swab) who replaces Carmen as Mónica's new roommate. Ana has never before left the countryside and is just beginning to come out.
She slowly learns the rudimentary protocol of picking up women at the bar, and desperately relies on the advice of Mónica and Nines for insight into lesbian culture in Madrid and the delicate art of dating and sleeping with lesbians.
Unlike the Argentine lesbian series, Plan V, however, Chica Busca Chica lacks racially and economically diverse characters, and there are no strong butch characters. The show merely sheds light on the culture of more privileged lesbians and their community, without delving into class differences.
Director Sonia Sebastian has already received praise for the series from screenings at the Philadelphia QFest and critics worldwide. Her lighthearted comedy has captured the attention of queer and straight audiences around the world for her clever approach to Madrid lesbians and fast-paced comedic developments.
Chica Busca Chica contains many of the archetypes that lesbians worldwide will immediately recognize: the heart-breaking lothario, the overly obsessive girlfriend, the straight girl who may turn gay, and the naïve baby dyke who is obsessed with her newfound lesbianism.
Chica Busca Chica lacks the overly dramatic and complicated plots of The L Word, and keeps the storyline simple. It is refreshing in its portrayal of the Madrid lesbian experience without falling prey to the exhausted stereotypes of heart-wrenching coming out sequences or lesbian pregnancies. In the search for an exciting new lesbian comedy, viewers have found it in Chica Busca Chica.
Chica Busca Chica (Girl Seeks Girl) is available for purchase from Wolfe Video, and can be viewed online at Veoh.com or Terra TV.

Recommended for medium to large areas like concert halls, gymnasiums & churches, those rooms with pronounced low frequency problems and for those rooms where sonic accuracy is mandatory & maximum absorption is required. 4 inch Studiofoam provides excellent low frequency control (3X that of 2 inch Studiofoam) and can make rooms very dry. In some instances, using 4 inch on your walls can negate the need for significant bass trapping.
