is this even a kid show

This is the best post by far. It's so disgusting how guys treat girls like objects these days. They hardly ever take the time to get to know a girl, and usually one of the first things they ask for are pictures. If you can't take the time to talk to a girl and get to know her before you're asking for pictures, you're pathetic. But at the same time, girls need to have more respect for themselves. Just because a guy asks doesn't mean you have to. It's okay to say no. People have just completely lost respect for one another. It's rare to find someone that wants to get to know you, for you, and gives you time to be comfortable before they want pictures.
^lets not forget the asshole guys who flip out when you dont do it, a guy photoshopped "pictures" of me now im the school slut. To bad they dont know im strict christian so I believe in abstenence and all ive ever gotten in my life was a kiss or two. Guys are becoming so pathetic
so fucking accurate. big fuck you to all the guys that ever said this to me and an even bigger one to the guys who I gave into and sent pictures too. yeah I made a wrong decision but that doesn't give you the right to use me, humiliate me and fuck me over and make me feel like a worthless human being. send me all the hate you want for my comment on this post, I'm not ashamed of my past.. I'm proud to share it so that no one else is ever treated the way I was. the next guy to ever say this to me will be gone so quick.
I'm so with you ^
I think it's even more pathetic when when they say "please but you're so beautiful" like just stop if they say no then it's a no fucking learn to deal with it.

Absolutely got a virus from reblogging something about the new xbox360. How the Fuck? I'm furious. Fuck you tumblr. And no, I didn't get it elsewhere, my life on the internet is tumblr and fb. Sad.
(via inandoutagain)
The asshole holding the sign that says You Deserve Rape is Dean Saxton, he attends the University of Arizona and goes by the name of "Brother Dean Samuel" That's also him with the racist ass "Ghettopoly"
Per the comment on Buzzfeed
"I can't wait till he graduates college and a future employer finds all this crap. No one's going to want to take on this sexual harassment/racist liability. I say we KEEP publishing this stuff, KEEP his name out there, and ensure he dies in a gutter with only his disgusting sign to keep him warm."
What better place to put it than tumblr?
Please reblog
Maybe we can make this the new "Mitt Romney sucks pass it on"
White dudes in a nutshell.
So, if you walk up to him and read his sign out loud while staring deeply into his eyes…..

Anyone have leads?
Got a friend request on fb from one of my boyfriends friends. I'm not saying I hate her, but the last time I saw her she was all over Stephen (beginning of the year we weren't together, but everyone knew we liked each other I.e. we were dating prior to mid January then cut it off for a bit.) So no. I am not going to add her. I just want to smash her face in. How can she possibly think we're ok? Yeah, I knows its been almost a year since then, but that has made me distrust her, especially around my man. Gah fuck her
Last night I dressed like a pirate…and you shall never see!!! Lol I felt pretty for about 5mins…then it wore off =P
Stayed up uber late cleaning. When pissed off, its what I do. And if you think "oh woe is me, I must clean the appartment all myself, its going to be so horrible" (feigns fainting) then wtf..do you sincerely think that I am going to leave this place dirty? And we've been friends how long?? You should know that is NOT like me. So say shit to my face instead of being a weasel. I am so tired of you not talking to me for no reason, and no, I'm not going to text you anymore. Suck it. And if its so horrible, I'm sure your girlfriend will help you with the "distasteful" task.
Cleaning never killed anyone. -_-

Objective: To explore changing the procedures for site reviews of mental health facilities in New Jersey, the study sought to determine the views of administrators of mental health agencies and of state and county mental health officials about evaluation methods used by site visit teams. Methods: Responses to a 35-item questionnaire by 86 provider-agency administrators were compared with responses by 34 government officials using chi square analysis and two-way analyses of variance. Results: Both agency administrators and government officials believed that the primary purpose of site visits was to improve service quality and assess compliance with standards of good care. Compared with agency administrators, government officials viewed site visits as more useful and important. Agency administrators believed that identifying problems not under the agency's control was the most useful feature of a site visit. Although both groups apparently wanted consumers' input during the evaluation process, both were hesitant to accept consumers and their families as members of site visit teams. conclusions: Both groups favored changes that would make site visits a more collaborative enterprise. Their similar views on many issues form a core of agreement about site visit procedures around which further consensus can be built.

Book Description:
The life of a princess isn't all glamor, handsome princes, and beautiful clothes. It's also devotion to duty, sacrifice for your people, and a lot of just plain hard work. And if your country happens to suffer two world wars and a communist takeover in your lifetime, it means danger and suffering, exile and heartache as well. Princess Ileana of Romania endured all this and more. But her deeply rooted Orthodox faith saw her through it all, and eventually led her in her later years to the peaceful repose of monasticism. But that life included sacrifice and hard work as well, because as Mother Alexandra she was called to build the first English-language Orthodox women's monastery in the United States-the Monastery of the Transfiguration in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania. Princess Ileana's story is a thrilling tale of love and loss, danger and rescue, sacrifice and reward. Her inspiring life stands as a beacon of faith and holiness for young women of all times and nations to follow.

Time flies. It's hard to believe, but Above the Law turns two this summer. We started writing for ATL in July 2006, and the site went live in August 2006.
We're happy to report that things are going swimmingly — so swimmingly, in fact, that we'd like to (and need to) hire another full-time writer. Law firms are firing, but ATL is hiring. This gig may not pay $160K, but we guarantee it's more fun than document review or due diligence.
This is a full-time position. The pay is quite competitive for a media/journalism job, and standard benefits — health insurance, a 401(k), abuse from anonymous commenters — are included. If you're looking to transition from law into the writing life, this is an excellent opportunity.
If you'd like to apply, please email us (subject line: "New Writer Application"). Please describe yourself and your background, and explain why you'd be a great addition to ATL. If you have a particular vision for the site or ideas for new features, do share. Feel free to include a résumé, a writing sample, a link to your own blog (if you have one), or any other information you think might be relevant to evaluation of your application.
We will take applications through Friday, June 6 (and will probably throw in another plug for this next week). Thanks for your interest; we look forward to hearing from you.
October 2014
Help Wanted: ATL Seeks A New WriterBy David Lat
Time flies. It's hard to believe, but Above the Law turns two this summer. We started writing for ATL in July 2006, and the site went live in August 2006.
Raise Your Hand If You Have No Work
David Lat
(And offer suggestions for dispelling boredom.)
Back in December, we conducted a survey focusing on how busy those of you who work for large law firms were. The results were somewhat comforting. A majority of you said work at your firms was not slow, and 78 percent of you said you weren't afraid of losing your job.
That was about seven months ago. Have times changed? In addition to all the recent law-firm layoffs, here is some anecdotal evidence that they have:
Given the hard economic times, you guys should do a story about associates that have no work. And I'm not talking about light billable hours, but NO WORK.
I work for [a large firm] and I'm currently relegated to surfing the internet, reading ATL, and looking for new incarnations of ceiling cat. I've begged and pleaded with partners to give me work, but to no avail.
I'd be curious what other associates around the country who are slow are doing to drum up work or, better yet, kill time.
Have any suggestions for this frustrated reader? This person already knows about legal blogs as a procrastination aid. Given the uncertain economy, online shopping binges probably aren't smart. IM'ing with friends at other firms is fun, but not everyone has that option.
If you know of other ways to pass the non-billable time — and please, safe-for-work proposals only — feel free to share them in the comments. Thanks.
These aren't the best of times for Biglaw, in case you hadn't noticed. The most recent evidence: staff and lawyer layoffs at Sonnenschein, news that we broke last night (and might write more about, so feel free to email us with info).
But here is a tiny sliver of good news. In response to our open call for information about delayed start dates for incoming associates, which some law firms have been using to reduce expenses, we received very little.
First, we learned that DLA Piper has instituted a nationwide start date of October 1. This isn't terribly exciting, since October 1 isn't that late. Other firms that have announced delayed start dates have gone for late October or even January.
The change also doesn't appear to be economically motivated. From DLA spokesperson Jason Costa:
The changes were made to provide a uniform start date across all our offices. The new collective date allows us to have a uniform orientation process. We think it will also be good for the associates, since the shared start date will probably lead to a tighter knit class.
Our tipsters mentioned the availability of pay advances if needed, which Costa confirmed: "We are more than happy to give pay advances to any incoming associates who had planned to start earlier than October, and who may need the extra cash."
Second, we received more details about Pillsbury Winthrop, which previously said it was spacing out start dates "over several months."
Read the rest, after the jump.
Continue reading "An Update on Start Dates: DLA Piper, Pillsbury Winthrop"
Summer Associate of the Day: Alter Ego 'Divljan Shatterhand Steele'By Kashmir Hill
We heard through the grapevine that Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the D.C. Circuit gave ATL a shout out during a Federalist Society lunch earlier this month. According to our tipsters, "his biggest advice to any summer associates in the audience was 'don't show up on David Lat's blog, Above the Law.'"
Well, the first summer associate tale of 2008 has made its way into our tips inbox from Atlanta. A summer associate at Alston & Bird decided to share his quirky sense of humor and alter ego with the rest of his summer class. Our tipster explains:
[This e-mail] was sent by an Alston & Bird summer… (as his cross-dressing alter-ego Divljan Shatterhand Steele) to the entire Atlanta summer class. The email, besides being super weird, is pretty innocuous. However, the pictures on his Facebook account could give him some serious trouble — besides the multiple pictures of him dressed in drag as his alter-ego, there is a picture of a pie with a gummy-bear swastika…
Needless to say, the email has already been widely circulated. A&B has a progressive reputation, but this might be a bit much. Given the current state of the market, Alston might be regretting hiring such a huge summer class (look at the recipient list, which likely only includes the summers who are working the first half) in Atlanta. This guy isn't doing himself any favors.
The bizarre e-mail, involving tarot cards and multiple personalities, is available after the jump. If you've been wondering about the history of neckties, you'll definitely want to check it out.
We have redacted the SA's name and ask that you not identify the person in the comments. Feel free to refer to him as "Divljan" only. Thanks.
Continue reading "Summer Associate of the Day: Alter Ego 'Divljan Shatterhand Steele'"
Some people question whether large law firms do enough to make the world a better place. These people wonder: Are Biglaw partners letting Third World babies die, just so they can enjoy their Ferraris?
Or is the "Baby vs. Ferrari" choice a false dichotomy? Here's another way of looking at it. Lawyers at large law firms, by providing top-notch legal services to large corporations — corporations owned not just by fat cats but also by ordinary Americans, through mutual funds and similar investment vehicles — create value that otherwise would not exist. Some of this surplus value makes its way into the pockets of partners (and their Ferrari dealers). But some of it makes its way to charitable causes (as well as federal and state government coffers, in the form of tax revenue).
Last week we commended the firms of Dewey & LeBoeuf and Heller Ehrman for their generous donations in support of China earthquake relief efforts. And it seems that supporting relief organizations, just like raising associate salaries, may be contagious within Biglaw.
Several other leading law firms have donated to support China earthquake relief efforts (and a number of these firms, including Orrick and Weil, acted within a few hours of last week's ATL post). Here are some that we know of:
1. Allen & Overy: $80,000 contribution + matching donations.
2. Kirkland & Ellis: $100,000 contribution + matching donations.
3. McDermott Will & Emery: $10,000 contribution.
4. Morrison & Foerster
5. Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe: matching donations, up to $100,000.
6. Sullivan & Cromwell: $100,000 contribution.
7. Weil Gotshal & Manges: $50,000 contribution.
We commend the foregoing firms and their employees for their generosity. If your firm has taken action and isn't mentioned above, feel free to post a shout-out in the comments.
For those of you who are curious — perhaps your firm would like to start a similar initiative, and you'd like to lift some language for the announcement — the Orrick and Weil memos appear after the jump.

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 5.4 – 5.11: Penn-y WiseBy Laurie Lin
Congratulations to Keira Driansky and David Simon, chosen by ATL readers over Kristy Hong and Jonas Blank III as April's Legal Eagle Couple of the Month.
Now for the next set of entrants, and it's a crowded field. We think this week's column sets a record for total number of Ivy League JDs. Here's our latest crop of outstanding newlyweds:
1. Deborah Adler and Brian Sutherland
2. Rachel Hannaford and Justin Lerer
3. Zoe Segal-Reichlin and Daniel Garodnick
4. Alison Franklin and Shane Milam
Read up on their pedigrees and passions, after the jump.

Almost 2,000 votes were cast in the first round of our poll for the best legally-themed race horse name. We've winnowed the full field of 20 horses down to the top ten.
Now we're in the final round. The polls will remain open through the Memorial Day weekend. Let the race begin!
Earlier: Legally-Themed Racehorse Names: And They're Off! (Part 1)
Legally-Themed Racehorse Names? Your Nominations, Please
In the last three installments of the Asia Chronicles, we've written about the perks and the (possible) disadvantages of working as a lawyer in Asia. We have been trying to give you a better idea of what it's like to work over here and to help you decide if moving to Asia might be an option that you would like to explore.
But many of you have contacted us saying that you need to hear no more, you're already convinced. You want to know what kind of skills American firms in Asia are looking for, and how to go about finding a job in this part of the world.
The most common question we get on this topic is about language ability: "How much of a difference will language skills, or lack thereof, make in the marketability of a job candidate?" As lawyers, none of you should be surprised that we can only answer this question with more questions:
1. How high is your language level, really?
We've seen a lot of job seekers come into our offices with resumes that describe their language skills as "proficient" or even "fluent," but when we ask them even a basic question in that language, they often struggle to answer. In general, a few years of college language classes does not a fluent speaker make, and even people who have spent significant time immersed in a language environment rarely have learned the legal and business terminology that would be needed for common tasks such as reading due diligence documents, participating in a drafting session, or negotiating a comfort letter. Unless you are a native or legitimately fluent speaker, your language skills will honestly not be of much use to a law firm, and therefore will not balance out deficiencies in the core strengths of a candidate, such as graduating from a top-ranked law school with high grades or having valuable work experience.
That said, a glance at the attorney roster of many selective law firms in Asia reveals some lawyers with lower than average credentials but strong language and culture experience (time spent in the U.S. State Department is a common theme) that seems to have gotten them hired. However, having some lesser level of language ability could make a marginal difference with an otherwise qualified candidate because it may help convince a law firm that you are interested in and capable of living in a certain country and interacting well with people from that culture.
2. Do you really want to be hired based on your language ability?
One of the first hard truths that we learned after spending some time working in Asia is that having language skills might not always be something you want to advertise. We've seen many native and fluent speakers relegated to countless hours of foreign language documentary due diligence or translation because no one else in the office was capable of doing it. One of our colleagues has even been keeping her language ability a secret so that she can avoid being staffed on such mind-numbing projects. Lawyers who can speak and understand but cannot read or write (or at least pretend they can't) have the advantage of being able to participate in the comparatively more interesting client meetings and negotiation while avoiding less enjoyable tasks.

In January, after the Harvard Law Review published a rather embarrassing, bleeding-heart Case Comment, we wrote:
Last year, we ran a popular series of posts on the Harvard Law Review. The gist of the coverage was that the Review's new, left-leaning leadership "is running the journal into the ground with a cabal of radical ideologues, making the outgoing editors nervous about the future reputation of the journal."
We got some flak for our HLR coverage. But in view of what the Review is publishing these days, as discussed extensively in the blogosphere — see, e.g., the Volokh Conspiracy and PrawfsBlawg — we can't help gloating. Just a little.
Or a lot. A tipster draws our attention to a Note that was just published in the latest issue of the HLR:
I think you should break this story. It is a guaranteed comment clusterf**k.
This Note (PDF) basically says that anyone who doesn't go in to public interest work is immoral and is killing babies in third world countries (most of this analysis is in section 4 of the article). I think it just came out in electronic form today, so you should get a jump on anyone.
Our correspondent's summary is shockingly accurate. Check out the article for yourself by clicking here (PDF).
As it turns out, we're not the first to take note of the Note. We believe that would be Professor Paul Horwitz, over at PrawfsBlawg. After alluding to the notorious Case Comment from several months ago, Professor Horwitz writes:
I am reading the latest issue of the Harvard Law Review [which contains] a Note titled, after an inscription on a statue in Cambridge Common, "Never Again Should a People Starve in a World of Plenty." It's unusually thinly sourced for a Harvard Law Review Note — not that I'm encouraging people to use more footnotes! And it has a certain voice ("There is injustice everywhere. The last place there should be injustice is in the justice system.") and theme that . . . . well, I find myself wondering whether we have found our anonymous author once again.
I don't mean to be unduly gossipy about this sort of thing; it's worth a two-paragraph blog post and not more. And I am not knocking the observation that injustice is bad; heaven forfend. Just the same, I'm curious whether this is the same author.
We don't share Professor Horwitz's shyness. We're happy to write more than two paragraphs about the Note (ha — we already have). And there's no such thing as being "unduly gossipy" in our book.
So gossip away, in the comments. Do you think this Note was written by the same author as the prior Case Comment? Do you feel that the Harvard Law Review — once headed by Senator Barack Obama, its first black president — is tilting too far to the left?
Or, if you prefer, don't gossip; engage substantively with the arguments in the Note. Clearly the author wants associates and partners in large law firms to sit up and take notice, to think about whether what they're doing professionally is worthwhile — or even morally defensible.
We're sure the anonymous author will be grateful to us for bringing his or her work to the attention of ATL's many readers in Biglaw. Whoever you are: you're welcome!

The Future of Addresses Is Open: Launching OpenAddresses
Street address data is essential infrastructure. Street names, house numbers, zip codes combined with geographic coordinates are the hub that connects digital to physical places. Precisely because of their connecting role, free and open addresses are rocket fuel for civic and commercial innovation.
Many governments have realized this and have published their address datasets under open licenses. OpenAddresses sets out to catalogue these sources, provide tools to make them easier to use, and to build pressure on sources that aren't open yet.
OpenAddresses is a global repository for open address data. In good open source fashion, OpenAddresses provides a space to collaborate. Today, OpenAddresses is a downloadable archive of address files, it is an API to ingest those address files into your application and, more than anything, it is a place to gather more addresses and create a movement: add your government's address file and if there isn't one online yet, petition for it.
The future of addresses is open. Let's get to work on it here: openaddresses.io. Download the growing 1.9GB archive of addresses, add address files you know about and use the developer APIs to work with addresses.

He knows a little. But I typed a lot more.
Babe, I'm so sorry you're going to read all that. I'm sorry that you are a victim of my brutality and brokenness. I'm sorry for the hurt. I'd give anything to take this hurt away from you.
People, if you're asked to do a timeline. Just do the dang thing. And for crying out loud, be honest with it. Even if they don't ask for a timeline, do it anyway. Tuck it away for if/when it's needed. If it's never needed, lucky you. If it is needed, at least it's done.
Peace out.

Take care.

TCD, I've been keeping an eye out on you. You're doing good.
Not really seeing the victory and "woohoo" in doing this. Just gonna have to deal with this crap all over again. See his hurt and disappointment again. May be worse. May be better. But the wait is agony.
Refraining from spiraling into the cesspool is hard right now.
Please, keep us posted.
It hurt like hell to write it & hurt worse knowing what it would be like should he ever choose to read it, but you're right, the weight does lift a little.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
I really hope things go okay for you and Mr. C.
He's read it all. There was a couple "new" revelations including something I did for the AP that my husband has always wanted but I refused. I was so ashamed. I intentionally glossed it over in the past. That was wrong. The rest he said even if he didn't have details, he knew me, knew how I was, and what he read wasn't a surprise.
So there it is.
Also, he's an official member of SI now. No longer Mr. Aubrie or Mr. C. Dunno if he'll post, lurk, or reach out to individuals. But whatever path he chooses, I hope that he finds support and healing here. Welcome Babe.
There were revelations in my FWH's 16 or 18 page long (I forget) confessional that I quite easily might never have known. Those were the things that, though they excoriated what was left of my sense of our marriage's past, also provided a bit of a lifering to believing my H had changed and was, in fact, remorseful.
He could have skipped those bits, knowing full well they'd unleash a whole new collection of painful reactions from me. Him making the free choice to walk into that fire spoke volumes.
I hope Mr. C will feel that, as he navigates through the potentially difficult waters ahead. I'm sending him --and you-- strength!
For any FWSs who may be reading and who have NOT yet done a similar timeline ...please do. I'll add that my FWS actually read it to me, and that was a meaningful element to the whole thing as well.
end t/j
I have a question, hope you don't mind: does QS see this as TT or more like 'filling in some holes'?
I think you have been very brave and forward-looking to even create this exercise for yourself when you might have 'easily' (ha!) gotten away without it. Not only that, but sharing the whole experience here too. Well done.
I hope that QS will get through this bumpy patch on the roller coaster ride, he has the SI army to lean on should be need it.
((((Aubrie & QS))))

In my effort to be *concise*, I often come off as blunt and harsh. Sorry, don't mean to be offensive.
Give him some time to process it
Bracing in case of troubled waters.
Aub, if you don't mind me asking, from the first A till your timeline, how much time had passed and how much detail were you able to retain/remember? This is to find out for myself whether W really DID 'forget' a LOT due to the time or whether its just her TT talking.
from the first A till your timeline, how much time had passed and how much detail were you able to retain/remember?
The only period of life where I'm fuzzy is during the time I suffered a miscarriage. There's a several month period where I don't have many memories at all. Good or bad. Whether AP related or just every day life related. There's just a block missing from my memory bank.
I remember quite a bit from AP1, AP2 (8 years ago) AP3, (3 years ago) and AP4 (19 months ago)
That doesn't mean I remember every single conversation on which particular date. But I know what boundaries and where they were crossed, the subject matter, and other similar details. Talked about my marriage, my feelings, intimate conversations with QS, turn ons and turn offs, dreams, wishes, religion, sex, fantasy, reality, every day life, holidays, feelings about each other, etc. You get the idea.
I've pretty much shredded every day of a calendar year with at least 1 or more AP at some point in the last 10 years. For QS, it's not so much the dates, but what was said and occurred in the conversations. kwim?
Hope that made sense and helped a little.
Please let him know that I too am here for him if he wants to PM or text or call and chat. At any time.
"Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway." - Aubrie
t/j QuietStand, welcome. PM if you feel the need. end t/j
Good for you for doing it. I started writing and have a way to go...hearing you finished helps motivate me to keep going. DBH doesn't want to read it, but I'll have it for if and when he changes his mind.
Again, good job. It's awful to do, but so much better than having the details dribble out randomly.
I often wonder if this is why I still maintain my wall between us. He still outs himself first. After 14 months he probably won't write one even if I beg.
Good for you for being proactive. I hope other WS's can understand why this was so important.

Peacemaking: of serious joking and most studious playSunday, October 12th, 2014
[ by Charles Cameron -- on the aesthetic element in DoubleQuotes, and peacemaking as making connections; together with Renaissance phrasing of the same ideas ]
Ambassador Susan Rice on the White House court with the Israeli & Palestinian Peace Players Yesterday
There's a fair amount of gaming leaking into the blogging I read these days.
Col. Pat Lang at Sic Semper Tyrannis is hosting an IS/Coalition War Game [1, 2, 3], while over at PAXsims, Rex Brynen is hosting the "game developer's diary" of Alex Langer, a McGill undergraduate who is "designing a wargame of the current Syrian civil war as a course project" [1, 2].
Both efforts are of interest, but what the PAXsims venture makes clear to me is that I have been using my Zenpundit blogging as, among other things, a "game developer's diary" for my own game thinking, and in particular for my thoughts about the DoubleQuotes format as a playful / serious analytic tool.
Both playful and serious, because all fresh thinking requires the application of a playful spirit to serious ends — an approach illustrated by the image of Palestinian and Israeli kids on the White House basketball court at the head of this post, by the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra put together by Edward Said and Daniel Barenboim — and enshrined in the Florentine Renaissance motto "iocari serio et studiosissime" — which Marsilio Ficino, the genius behind the Florentine Renaissance, named as the core practice of Pythagoras, Socrates and Plato – "joking seriously and playing assiduously" in Edgar Wind's translation.
Which would among other things be the Renaissance Platonist's answer to Scott Shipman's question posed here the other day, What tools do you use to boost your creativity?
Ficino also said, "the task of Magic consists in comparing things to one another", as quoted by Mircea Eliade in his Foreword to Ioan Couliano's great book, Eros and Magic in the Renaissance.
That's precisely what my own games do, expressed in Renaissance terms, and my DoubleQuotes in particular.
In terms of theorizing about them, one point I may not have emphasized enough is that the quality of a given DoubleQuote (or move in a HipBone or Sembl game) is dependent on the aesthetics of the juxtaposition.
Let me give you a simple example, not taken from my own work but from a "DoubleQuote in the Wild" — the header illustration to a recent FP post, The Activists Assad Hates Most Are Now Obama's Problem. FP could have used any two photos of Obama and Assad, photos of Obama on the phone in the Oval Office, say, or Assad against the background of the Syrian flag — but they chose two images that showed the two men in near-identical poses, and it's that near-identity which gives force to the juxtaposition:
Likewise, I could have chosen any one of a flock of quotes to illustrate British and American forces entering Baghdad in 1917 and 2003 respectively — but the most effective way to make the point was via two quotes that very closely paralleled each other:
That too is fundamentally an aesthetic choice — a choice that favors the simple elegance of the tightest available symmetry.
The image at the head of this post show Ambassador Rice on the Court with the Peace Players Yesterday
Peacemaking, too, is often a matter of bringing out the similarities between otherwise opposing forces.
As Nicholas of Cusa, Cardinal of the Roman Church, said in his De ludo globi / Of the Game of Spheres, a distant forefather to Hesse's Glass Bead Game and thence to my own various games:
This game is played, not in a childish way, but as the Holy Wisdom played it for God at the beginning of the world.
Luditur hic ludus; sed non pueriliter, at sic / Lusit ut orbe nova Sancta Sophia Deo.

The limits of Federal Reserve forward guidance on interest rates
The 'taper tantrum' of May and June, as the mid-year spike in interest rates became known, appears to have humbled Federal Reserve officials into having a second look at their convictions about the power of forward guidance on interest rate policy.
Take James Bullard, president of the St. Louis Fed. He acknowledged on Friday that the Fed's view of the separation between rates guidance and asset purchases had not been fully accepted by financial markets. "This presents challenges for the Committee," he noted.
A decision to modestly reduce the pace of asset purchases can still leave a very accommodative policy in place to the extent forward guidance remains intact.
The Committee needs to either convince markets that the two tools are separate, or learn to live with the joint effects of tapering on both the pace of asset purchases and the perception of future policy rates.
from MacroScope:
How big is the Fed's communications gap? Six months, give or take
You have to give Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke credit for standing his ground on data-dependence. Despite widespread suspicions, including on this blog, that the central bank would begin reducing the pace of its bond-buying stimulus in September simply because the markets were expecting it, the Fed chose to hold off in the face of a still-fragile economy.
Here's how Bernanke addressed the issue of the market's surprise at the Fed's decision at his press conference:
from MacroScope:
Fed taxonomy: Lacker is a hawk, not a bull
Not to mix too many animal metaphors but, generally speaking, monetary policy hawks also tend to bulls on the economy. That is, they are leery of keeping interest rates too low for too long because they believe growth prospects are stronger than economists foresee, and therefore could lead to higher inflation.
That is not the case, however, for Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker, a vocal opponent of the central bank's unconventional bond-buying stimulus program, particular the part of it that focuses on mortgages. He reiterated his concerns last week, saying the Fed should begin tapering in September by cutting out its mortgage bond buying altogether.

U.S. GDP revisions, inflation slippage tighten Fed's policy bind
Richard Leong contributed to this post
John Kenneth Galbraith apparently joked that economic forecasting was invented to make astrology look respectable. You were warned here first that it would be especially so in the case of the first snapshot (advanced reading) of U.S. second quarter gross domestic product from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Benchmark revisions to U.S. gross domestic product made for a bit of a mayhem for forecasters, who were way off the mark in predicting just 1 percent annualized growth when in fact the rate came it at 1.7 percent. Morgan Stanley had predicted a gain of just 0.2 percent.
from MacroScope:
Two Fed financial stress measures show conditions still easy
Composure restored. Despite gut-clenching stock market swoops and a violent 100 basis point upward spike in 10-year bond yields since the Fed's June 19 meeting and press conference with Chairman Ben Bernanke, financial conditions are still very easy.
That ought reassure officials at the U.S. Federal Reserve that some normalcy has been restored in financial markets after the abrupt reaction to their decision to signal they would scale back bond purchases later this year.
from MacroScope:
In his own words: Fed's Bullard explains dovish dissent
The following is a statement from the St. Louis Fed following the decision by its president, James Bullard, to dissent from the U.S. central bank's decision to signal a looming reduction in its bond-buying stimulus program:
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard dissented with the Federal Open Market Committee decision announced on June 19, 2013. In his view, the Committee should have more strongly signaled its willingness to defend its inflation target of 2 percent in light of recent low inflation readings. Inflation in the U.S. has surprised on the downside during 2013. Measured as the percent change from one year earlier, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) headline inflation rate is running below 1 percent, and the PCE core inflation rate is close to 1 percent. President Bullard believes that to maintain credibility, the Committee must defend its inflation target when inflation is below target as well as when it is above target.
from MacroScope:
What's in a (trend payrolls) number? The Chicago Fed paper that shook the markets, ever so slightly
Ann Saphir contributed to this post
The apparent conclusion from one of the most dovish regional Federal Reserve banks was rather surprising: The economy may actually need much smaller monthly job growth, of around 80,000 or less, in coming years in order for the jobless rate to keep moving lower. The immediate policy implication, it might seem, is that the U.S. central bank may have to tighten monetary policy much sooner than previously thought.
Andrew Brenner of National Alliance remarked that, while the report should be taken with a grain of salt, "this translates to lowering the bar to QE tapering."
from MacroScope:
To 'taper' or not to 'taper'? Fading the Fed semantics debate
Is Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke avoiding the word "taper" in order to temper expectations that the U.S. central bank will ratchet down its massive bond buying program? This is one view that's been widely bandied about in recent days.
But then why is it that the Fed officials who are most eager to "taper" have pretty much stopped using the word, too?
from MacroScope:
MacroScope presents: ask the economist
MacroScope is pleased to announce the launch of 'Ask the Economist,' which will give our readers an opportunity to directly ask questions of top experts in the field. We are honored that Michael Bryan, senior economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, has agreed to be our first guest. In his role, Bryan is responsible for organizing the Atlanta Fed's monetary policy process. He was previously a vice president of research at the Cleveland Fed.
The process is simple. We give you a heads up on our upcoming featured economist. You tweet us your question using the hashtag #asktheeconomist, or via direct message if you prefer. We select a handful of the most interesting queries this week, ship them over to our economist du jour. She or he will then answer each one in writing and we will post their response as a blogpost. And of course, you'll be cited for asking the pithy question.
from MacroScope:
The rationale for a December Fed taper
Vincent Reinhart, a former top Federal Reserve researcher who is now chief U.S. economist at Morgan Stanley, believes the U.S. central bank will begin pulling back on the pace of asset purchases in December. Here's how he arrives at that timeline:
We believe the Fed is going to need to see four employment reports averaging net gains in nonfarm payrolls of at least 200,000 to justify reducing the pace of its asset purchases. The arithmetic of the calendar would then put the earliest date of tapering/tightening in September, which conveniently for the Fed is a meeting followed by a press conference.

A$AP Rocky (Ft. Skrillex) – Wild For The Night : Huge CollaborationPosted in Bangin by nick | Tags: A$AP Rocky, ASAP Rocky, BANGER, Bass Music, Collaboration, Dubstep, Electronic, Hip-Hop, Rap, Skrillex
When the tracklist for A$AP Rocky upcoming debut album Long. Live. A$AP got released, electronic fans got excited to see rumors confirmed of A$AP working with dubstep / electronic icon Skrillex. We get our ears on the result, "Wild For The Night". It is a dope track with some solid production from Skrillex, and dope verses from A$AP. My only complaint would have to be that the beat sounds similar to Skrillex's remix of "Goin' In" by Birdy Nam Nam. It is a dope crossover of genre, being recycled or not. This is on the new A$AP album Long. Live. A$AP coming out January 15th. Enjoy!

A little about me...
I'm active, fit, healthy, financially secure and ready to spend the rest of my life with someone who wants to share the ups and downs that life throws at us as a team. I am affectionate and like to touch and be touched often. Holding hands, kissing and being silly are on the agenda. I need to be needed and am looking for someone that's smart, independent and tough but able to accept what others have to give. No obstacles, no walls.
About the one I'm looking for...
Someone straight forward, honest, and who has the ability to love and to be loved. Someone who is not tentative about wanting a relationship that might last forever and merge two lives into one.. Someone who's not afraid and distrustful of being happy. Someone calm and peaceful but with a little fire. Someone who speaks her mind and doesn't mince words. If you're someone who is constantly burying your feeling, you're not for me. Please be fit and active with lots of energy.
I'd just like to add...
I spend my time volunteering in the community. I run an emergency food pantry, have a Meals on Wheels route, I volunteer at the Medical Center, and help cook a bi-monthly community dinner.
I like to stay busy. When I'm not volunteering or on my daily walk, I'm working in my orchid greenhouse or experimenting in the kitchen. I'm a foodie and an adventurous eater and hope you are too. I love to cook, eat, travel for, look at, talk about and experience food.

HOOKnSHOOT Grand Prix champion and longtime MMA competitor Kaitlin Young wants to be more active in fighting in 2014.
Young only fought once last year. It was against future Invicta FC Bantamweight champion Lauren Murphy at Invicta FC 5, went went the distance with Murphy. For Young, who had been finished in the last two bouts, became the first fighter to take the undefeated Murphy – known then as Lauren Taylor – to the distance.
While she has been away from the cage, Young dealt with injuries while also training and learning, both on a technical and business front as she puts it.
Like many MMA fans, I would love to see Young make a comeback in 2014 and I think she can do it. In my opinion, there is only one opponent for Young in her return fight and that is Sarah Kaufman. And there is only one place where they should fight: inside of the octagon.
Young and Kaufman were originally scheduled to face off at Invicta FC 3 back in 2012, but the former Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight champion sustained an injury.
Young and Kaufman are two of the most dangerous strikers in the women's 135-pound weight class. It would be interesting to see how Young's kicks, which have been likened to being hit by a baseball bat, would impact with Kaufman, who has yet to be knocked out in a fight.
Young has the credentials and the ability to do well in the UFC. Critics may cite her fight record as being something that could work against her, but sometimes records do not mean a lot.
Look at Jessica Rakoczy, who made it to the finals of "The Ultimate Fighter" on a professional MMA record of 1-3 along with a "Knockout of the Season" bonus on "TUF 18." Look at Mark Hunt, who went from a 5-7 record in his first stint in the octagon, to a 9-8-1 with two "Fight of the Night" bonuses and two "Knockout of the Night" bonuses.
If the UFC decides to make this match happen, they could make it a cross-promotion deal with Invicta or they could sign the HOOKnSHOOT champion to a multiple-fight contract.
If the fight does happen and Young gets the victory, this could be the beginning of a new chapter in her career.
Who would you like to see Young fight in her next bout? Answer with a comment below, send a tweet to @alstover or email [email protected]
