TV Tonight: Gossip Girl
It seems like only yesterday we were being ushered into the swanky, salacious world of Gossip Girl. And yet, here we are in January, with only one little episode left before the show takes an unplanned, writers' strike-enforced hiatus. Oh, cruel world!
Tonight's episode wraps up the two-part arc that started last week — though, as Molly pointed out, there's not a whole lot besides the Blair/Chuck/Nate storyline left up in the air from part one. But that plot might just get a little messier, when Serena's spotted purchasing a pregnancy test by one of Gossip Girl's ubiquitous spies. Hey, between Knocked Up and Juno, 'tis the season of unplanned pregnancy . . . It seems, though, that the biggest fallout could be Blair and Serena ending up back on the "enemy" side of the frenemy line. Want to see what I'm talking about? To watch a clip from tonight's episode, just read more.

RPT-Bunds rise after ECB's Draghi says discussed depo rate cut
(Repeats to additional subscribers)
LONDON Dec 6 (Reuters) - German Bund futures rose on Thursday after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said policymakers discussed a potential cut into negative territory in the bank's overnight deposit rate.
Draghi did not elaborate further on the matter but the comments also pushed the euro to a session low of 80.95 pence against the British pound from 81.10 pence.
The Bund future rose as much as 39 ticks on the day to a session high of 145.49, driving 10-year German yields to 1.31 percent, their lowest since Aug. 31.
Overnight Eonia forward rates fell across the 2013 strip, with the July Eonia rate turning negative. Euribor futures <0#FEI:> rose slightly. (Reporting by the London Markets team; Editing by Marius Zaharia)

Good access to Occidental CollegePosted Aug 25, 2014
Pros: The staff was very welcoming. From the Front Desk staff to cooks to the Hotel Manager, everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful.
Cons: Upgrade the bedding on the pull out beds. Clean the grout in the showers.
Location: We chose this location because it was near Occidental College. Also Target and Costco.
We stayed here for three nights in August 2014 to drop off our daughter at college. The staff was very welcoming and check in was a breeze. Hard not to love the free breakfasts with cooked-to-order omelettes in the morning and free drinks at Happy Hour each afternoon. We were disappointed with the bedding on the pull out bed, however. There was only a flat sheet on the bed so I looked in the closet and found a case with one pillow and one very thin, kind of icky looking blanket. I called the Front Desk and told them I thought the bedding for the pull out was missing, but she assured me that was correct. So I asked for additional bedding and they said they would send it right up. Didn't arrive after 1/2 hour so I called again. A maid showed up and brought a flat sheet and again, a very thin, worn out blanket. Bad enough to sleep on a pull out, but even worse when the bedding is clearly an after-thought. The only other issue we had, which I think I have seen mentioned in other reviews, is there was mold on the grout in the shower. The rest of the room was very clean.

The staff have no cluePosted Aug 22, 2014
Several things wrong with this place: 1. Dirty room with several spots on the floor 2. Had to argue to get with the front desk to get my "breakfast passes" back after they wrongfully took it from me 3. Have to give your drivers license to burrow a cart to haul luggage 4. Only one washer and dryer. They don't even have quarters to exchange. You'll need to go outside the hotel. 5. The breakfast is terrible, the OJ is not made from real oranges! For the price this hotel is a disgrace! Was a real depressing experience.

Mac Miller skated into rap with all the bottomless happy-go-lucky charm of a best friend's insouciant little brother. The documents of his early career are the works of a kid very much in love with hip-hop but frustratingly ill-equipped to translate his verve into compelling music. His songs didn't feel lived in; their observations were as slight as their lyrics were clunky. Even so, Miller proved a hit on the underaged weekend warrior circuit, and despite a withering critical reception, his 2011 debut album Blue Slide Park became the first independent hip-hop album to top the Billboard charts in nearly twenty years.
Things got knotty for Mac just as quickly as he took off, though. Beset by detractors and disillusioned with his career path (and the ever-present "frat-rap" association), he turned to promethazine to cope during 2012's rigorous Macadelic tour. Miller also ran into threats of litigation from hip-hop producer Lord Finesse, who says his production was used without permission on a popular mixtape cut, and Donald Trump, who came calling after a 2011 single named after him racked up millions of views on YouTube. Miller kicked the promethazine habit, settled with Finesse out of court (although Trump still taunts him), and then summarily ditched his native Pittsburgh for Los Angeles, where he's been palling around with members of Odd Future and Kendrick Lamar's Top Dawg Entertainment collective ever since. Watching Movies with the Sound Off is steeped in the pathos of Mac's bad year and the musical influence, both direct and indirect, of his new rap friends. It's the wide-eyed kid brother of Blue Slide Park home from college extolling the virtues of meditation and salvia.
Watching Movies with the Sound Off reintroduces Mac Miller as a druggy philosopher on the mic and a left field talent behind the boards. Gone are the undercooked shaggy dog stories of Blue Slide Park and mixtapes like Best Day Ever. In their place we get a batch of songs that break the surface with snarling, self-deprecating wit ("I don't act hard/ Still read Babar" from opener "The Star Room") and musings on mortality ("Probably be dead soon inhaling cigarette fumes" on "Avian") and drugs ("That fetanyl, it numbs me/ ...Turns you into a junkie" on "Someone Like You"). There's still a lemon here and there ("I spit the shit that leave a diaper brown" on the otherwise promising lead single "S.D.S." and "Gees", with its chorus of "Suck my dick before I slap you with it"), but the Mac Miller of Watching Movies, who feels comfortable trading verses with rap nerd favorites like Jay Electronica and Action Bronson, largely succeeds in distancing himself from the guy peddling kiddie-pool deep rhymes about drinking 40s in front of the police just two years prior.
Miller's Doom-esque witticisms are dispensed here over production that matches Wiz Khalifa's 2012 cloud rap gambit O.N.I.F.C. for sheer druggy majesty. Miller handles a good portion of it himself, turning in loping circus music on "Avian" and eerie descending mellotron melodies on the absurdly titled "Suplexes Inside of Complexes and Duplexes". "Aquarium" stir fries tUnE-yArDs' "Powa", churning out a slow-building and hypnotic barn-burner replete with massive drums and tasteful strings. The rest of Watching Movies' production is farmed out to blunted Cali hip-hop luminaries like Flying Lotus and Alchemist as well as emerging production talents like Clams Casino and Odd Future's Earl Sweatshirt. Lengthy passages of stately, ephemeral soundscapes give Watching Movies the feel of a quixotic vision quest with Miller playing the role of the wizened sherpa.
The hazy sprawl of Watching Movies also gives Mac a chance to dart outside the boundaries of hip-hop a little. He ditches rapping on a few cuts, exposing a singing voice in line with the Mark Everett school of coarse-throated, disembodied vocalisms on the oceanic Clams Casino assisted "Youforia" and Pharrell's gossamer "Objects in the Mirror". Both are lightweight love songs that make up for what they occasionally lack in lyrical profundity with an open armed earnestness. He one-ups both with "REMember", a letter to a fallen friend full of heartsick what-if scenarios ("You had a girl, I kinda wish you knocked her up/ So I could meet your son and talk you up") and frank talk about the therapeutic power of crying. All three are instances of Miller imparting stories that dig deeper than the bedroom boasts and quests for weed that made up the bulk of his songwriting up to this point.
Watching Movies with the Sound Off is a quantum leap in artistry, but it's not without faults; the album's about three songs too long, and a couple of the tracks in the back end just plain run together. Also, while all of the guest spots here are welcome deviations from Miller's adroit Stones' Throw homage, they routinely punctuate how much room he's got left to grow as a writer. It's highlighted most poignantly on "Suplexes Inside of Complexes and Duplexes", where Jay Electronica shows up unannounced to kick a nonsensical verse, his first in years, and blows the whole album sky high just recounting the story of The Wizard of Oz, and also in the spoken word interlude after "Red Dot Music", which features breakout battle rap star Loaded Lux lampooning "Easy Mac with the cheesy raps", ruthlessly snarling "Who the fuck is Mac Miller?" Watching Movies with the Sound Off begins to broach the subject, but the question still stands.

Hip Hip Hurrah, Nouveau Frees Up The Fermi Microcode
Published on 25 May 2011 07:57 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
10 Comments
Within the Nouveau kernel module there's been reverse-engineered
kernel mode-setting support for NVIDIA's Fermi GPUs
(the GeForce 400/500 series) since last summer. Earlier this year,
Nouveau Fermi acceleration support was added
with the necessary kernel DRM bits, to the Nouveau X.Org driver for EXA/X-Video acceleration, and a respective Gallium3D Mesa driver.
The Nouveau Fermi support continued to be improved with
KMS page-flipping
and other features and fixes, but there was
a big limitation of all this open-source Fermi acceleration support
. The Nouveau Fermi driver doesn't have any "free" firmware that it can ship with the driver nor was the driver in a position to automatically generate its own firmware / microcode.
As a result, users needed to extract the firmware for their graphics card by first running the NVIDIA binary driver and then running a few commands to create a dump. After that, the Nouveau driver could be loaded with this microcode and there would be acceleration support available. However, as these dumps are created from the NVIDIA driver and for a specific ASIC, they aren't legally re-distributable upstream in the kernel or by most distribution vendors. As a result, most NVIDIA GeForce 400/500 owners have kernel mode-setting if using the open-source driver, but there's no acceleration.
While it likely won't make it for the Linux 2.6.40/3.0 kernel, Red Hat's Ben Skeggs yesterday commited to the Nouveau Git code-base his initial attempt at creating a free replacement to this NVIDIA PGRAPH micro-code that's needed by Fermi. So far it's been successfully tested on NVC0 and NVC4, but in theory should also work on NVC1, NVC3, NVC8, and NVCE. The NVD9 (GF119) ASIC is still in need of an MMIO trace from the NVIDIA binary blob for implementing proper support.
For some of these other untested chipsets, acceleration is disabled by default as a result until booting the system with
. Ben also has in a
module option for now as well, which will instead load NVIDIA's microcode (if available) rather than using this free software replacement.
The initial "FUC" microcode replacement can be found in
this Git commit
that adds in 3,100 lines of code to the Nouveau DRM module in the kernel. There's also been various other Fermi-related commits to the Nouveau tree in the past 48 hours as well (
Git log
). There's also
this mailing list message
looking for users to test out this microcode replacement; hopefully it will be merged in the next kernel merge window (Linux 3.1?).
Besides this initial FUC microcode firmware issue, the Nouveau developers are also struggling with re-clocking support / power management / fan control, which hopefully they'll have made more progress on in time for the next kernel merge window in a couple of months. Most NVIDIA Fermi owners will be best off right now using the proprietary NVIDIA Linux driver.

Did sabotage cause Venezuela's massive power outage?
|Report an Error
Share via Email
CARACAS, VENEZUELA—Venezuelans were skeptical Wednesday of President Nicolas Maduro's claims that saboteurs were responsible for a blackout that left about 70 per cent of the country without electricity and caused chaos in Caracas, interrupting subway service and snarling traffic.
For many, no explanation was necessary: Government neglect and incompetence are to blame for blackouts that have plagued the country for years while rarely affecting the capital.
"I don't believe this tale about sabotage. We all know who is to blame," said Adriana Montoya, a 45-year-old housewife who said she was stuck for hours in traffic that snarled as traffic lights went dark and subway service halted in Caracas, which lost power for five hours Tuesday.
Others complained of being stuck in trains in darkened subway tunnels before being evacuated to safety.
Demands for the resignation of Electrical Energy Minister Jesse Chacon flooded Twitter. He had vowed after being named to the post in April to revamp the power grid.
Chacon said the blackout was caused by problems with transmission lines in the Bajo Caroni region, where 60 per cent of Venezuela's power is generated by hydroelectric plants. Fourteen of 23 states lost power for much of Tuesday.
Maduro claimed sabotage by "the extreme right-wing" was the cause but did not present any evidence.
"We are facing a low-level conflict that seeks a high impact on society and politics," he said.
Even before Maduro's announcement, top opposition politician Leopoldo Lopez poked fun at officials who have claimed in the past that thunderstorms or iguanas climbing on power lines caused blackouts.
"We already know what you are going to say: That it was an iguana, a lightning bolt or sabotage," he tweeted.
During the campaign leading up to an April presidential election that Maduro won by a razor-thin margin, Venezuela was hit by numerous power outages.
That prompted Maduro to accuse his political adversaries of resorting to sabotage as a means of hurting his chances for a victory.
Chacon said authorities were investigating Tuesday's failure.
But Venezuelans held out little hope of getting the real story.
After a severe drought in 2010 that affected hydropower generation, the government stopped publishing information about its electrical generation and distribution, said Jose Aguilar, an industry consultant who had worked with the government until then.
Outages continued and the late President Hugo Chavez blamed them on sabotage and named a brother, Argenis, electrical energy minister.
Like Maduro, Chavez presented no evidence of sabotage.
Blackouts are frequent in many of Venezuela's states, but few outages have affected Caracas in recent years.

Time Warner mulls AOL spin off
Plummeting revenues at AOL helped batter Time Warner's net income in the first quarter. In related news: Hey, anyone want to buy some red hot AOL stock? Anyone? The media conglom told American regulators today it's considering selling off all or parts of its ailing AOL unit - but it did so an extremely ambiguous way that's easy …
What's wrong with...
... The board of Google? $1bn for just 5%. JerryYang must be laughing all the way to the bank!
My dialups went from 1500 to 43... the ratio is prolly the same for AOL
at one point i asked AOL if they wanted to shed just the dialup part of the business, but it never went anywhere.
what's sad is that it IS the perfect marriage, it just needs some little blue pills to spice up its love life. Meaning, if you have great Internet, you don't need traditional Cable or Phone anymore.
oh well.... maybe Paris can help

UK Commander: NATO Struggling to Deal With Afghan Green-on-Blue Attacks
Promises New 'Psychological Tests' to Root Out Taliban
Just one day after two British soldiers were slain by an Afghan policeman in the latest "green-on-blue" attack, the top British commander for troops in Afghanistan sought to defend the alliance's inability to take care of the situation in parliament.
"It is difficult to deal with, but we are all determined to get to grips with this," insisted Lt. Gen. David Capewell, who also told parliament that British troops will remain in Afghanistan in "some form" after 2014.
"You can never have a perfect system," Capewell told parliament, but insisted that new vetting, including "psychological tests" were being implemented in an attempt to get a handle on the attacks, which are happening at record pace this year.
British Ambassador to NATO Dame Mariot Leslie added that there was now an agreement "in principle" to keep NATO occupation forces in Afghanistan beyond the end of 2014 "withdrawal date." Capewell said that an addition 500 troops may be deployed just to try to transfer British military equipment out of Afghanistan.

"You can never have a perfect system,"
Of course not and you cant have a perfect occupation either. The western colonial crusaders are obviously not welcome, they never where and they all met the same destiny. Oh,the irony….
Making lives a little better, the Sovjet puppet at least raised the standard of living and education as well as finding alternative crops to Opium. The Americans and their vassals kill indiscriminately with Drones phosphorous and whatever WMD perversities they have at their disposal. They of course increased the opium cultivation as well and are refining it in their occupation in kosovo under the watchful eye of Camp Bondsteel….Big business.
Trying to defend the indefensible is a fool's errand. Give it up and bring the troops home…now…not sometime after the "official withdrawal date"…NOW.
war on drugs, poverty, terror and now (insider attackers)
Here's how you deal with it: drag your loser butts out of there.
Admit defeat, you fascist filth.
Get a grip on this general. When you invade and occupy a country, it's citizens will do everything they can to kill you. They will keep killing you every chance they get until you all die or leave. Simple as that.
Words are useless. You have to act forcefully. Law, morality and ethics are wet paper for the powers. So the only thing left is for the people in those countries to act. If that fails -as it is because of the brainwashing and cowardice- then it'll be an all-out world war between the US, Israel the west and their lackeys against the rest of the world.
LOL! I guess whoever told them that Afghanistan was going to be a walk in the park lied to them. Gorvachev must be laughing his ass off at the empire every day.
Adios, war criminals. And good riddance!

For breakfast, you can order up Burger King's Ultimate Breakfast platter.
Tuck in to scrambled eggs, pancakes drizzled with breakfast syrup, a biscuit, hash brown and sausage, all for 1450 calories and 84 g of fat. OK, OK, it does offer up 40 g of protein, but we're thinking some eggs at home with whole wheat toast and even a slice or two of bacon would treat ya way better. Especially if you wanna wash it down with a Mocha Frappe—smalls pack 410 extra calories.
Grand total for the meal: 1,860 calories.
Heading to Taco Bell for lunch?
Though it's not the most ooest-gooiest option of them all, the Doritos Locos Taco Supreme gets our pick for major gross-out. Sure, we like a good Dorito every now and then. But as a taco shell? Vom. Grab two of these babies and you'll be wolfing down an acceptable 400 calories and 22 g of fat (9 of those being saturated). Wash it down with a Strawberry Cream Fruitista Freeze ('cause what goes better with fake Dorito cheese than strawberries and cream…) for 370 calories and top it off with a Caramel Apple Empanada for 310 calories.
Grand total for the meal: 1,080 calories.
OK, we know it's a fan favorite, but the McRib Sandwich makes us cringe.
It's a saucy rib! On a bun! Whaaat?! The sammie itself serves up 500 calories, 26 g of fat and 980 mg of sodium. But you're obviously going to add on fries—a medium clocks in at 380 calories and 19 g of fat—and a drink, let's say a medium Dr. Pepper for 210 calories. What's that? You want dessert? Hello, McFlurry time! The classic Oreo McFlurry piles on another 510 calories. But hey, it's good to the last slurp, right?
Grand total for the meal: 1,600 calories.
Your team's ordering up pizza from Domino's…
..And what do they choose? Why, the Bacon Cheeseburger Feast specialty pizza on the handmade pan crust, of course (because who doesn't want to mix pizza night with a li'l bacon cheeseburger, right?). Two slices plus a massive bottle of Sprite clock in at 970 calories, but this is Domino's, and Domino's is not Domino's without the Cinna Stix, right? Two of those delish babies (plus dipping sauce, of course) get ya another 490 calories. Quite the team meal, eh?
Grand total for the meal: 1,460 calories.

This took me quite some time to make but it was worth it. The second time around will be much easier! This bag is amazingly huge.
For the bottom I used faux leather. The bottom stabilizer was that cross-stitch plastic stuff but was too stiff. I'm going to remove it. A general fusible stabilizer in the inside bottom fabric would've been sufficient. The tassels came from the home furnishings area.

The Maddening Litigation Of District 200 v. VOP
By John Hubbuch
And the lawsuit initiated by District 200 against The Village over TIF moneys grinds on. I don't know which frusrates me more. There's the the lawsuit itself in which District 200 has sued the Village seeking a bigger share of TIF moneys. Litigation between two tax-supported governmental bodies is never a good thing. It's bad enough to pay for one side of a lawsuit, but it's twice as bad to fund both sides--even 3 sides if you include District 97, yet another party.
But it's even worse that we the public have no idea what's going on. The litigants retreat behind the confidentiality of litigation, and like mushrooms, the public is in the dark fed the fertilizer of platitudes and paternalism. So we're left to guess what the dispute is really about, how much is at stake, what are the merits and when will it be over. It wouldn't surprise me that District 200 actually has a technically decent case, but we'll never know. It just seems wrong that two bodies that pay such lip service to transparency have donned cloaks of invisibility with respect to this potentially impactful dispute. It is just not right.

Would this matter be in litigation if Village Manager Barwin had replied "Yes" when OP-RF High board members asked to examine the TIF books? How should the school board have responded when they were told, "No"? The lack of transparency and accountabilty regarding TIF revenues and expenditures forced District 200 to take action. An independent forensic audit of all the Oak Park TIFs is long overdue.

Mr. Hubbuch ... you are employed by a newspaper. Did you even attempt to gain access to the mediation meetings as a member of the press? BTW: what was your view when D97 sued the village regarding the TIF in 1983?

The best way to get to an end of the mediation is to have a sign similar to United Fund signs that indicate how much money they have raised in their fundraising campaign. Our sign would show the cost of the lawsuit($400.000 in June), to the residents. We can set a number at say $2M and when the amount is reached, we can hold an "End the War March & Rally" at the War Memorial at Lake and Oak Park Ave.

I hope when everything is over we get an accurate total of all the taxpayer money spent on litigation. I'll bet the total for all three sides approaches a million dollars. Legal bills add up fast. What a waste.

HELMET CAM: Matt Wozney - Speed Citi (MXPTV)
With a weekend off for me, I decided to do some video at Speed Citi in Seaford, Delaware but also, I wanted to get some track time for the first time in almost 2 years. So, I took my brother's 2000 Honda CR250 two stroke for a number of laps around Speed Citi's night track layout. I decided to take it easy on the jumps and stay on 2 wheels all night long. I was a little rusty but I have received a lot from the comments about you all wanting to see a video of me riding. Well, here it is!
NOTE: Sorry for lack of quality. GoPro 3 White Editions don't do well in low light it seems.

Singing the tunes
Publication Date : 12-09-2012
I left my ancestral village Rautbesi, Nuwakot and came to Kathmandu 50 years ago for my education. I was 12 years old and had two thoughts inculcated into me. One, I should work hard and satisfy my parents for the money they had spent on my education; and, two, I should participate in the struggle to restore democracy. After the 1990 People's Movement brought democracy in Nepal, the government followed a liberal market economy which many hoped would allow the "magic of the marketplace" to guide resource allocation and stimulate economic growth.
In the 1993-94 fiscal year, Nepal's GDP grew by a 30-year high of 8 percent. The economy lost the momentum after the Nepali Congress (NC) government fell due to infighting in the party. The subsequent nine-month rule of the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) was total confusion as it could not balance its socialist stance and the promise to liberalise the economy. After the UML government collapsed in 1995, the country saw a series of coalition governments. This period was marked by perpetually squabbling parties, a politicised bureaucracy and unprecedented corruption.
Frustrated with this, a group of activists submitted a 40-point demand to the government and took to the jungles to wage a People's War, one of whose objectives was to establish a democratic republican socialist country. This group of activists, known as the Maoists, waged a 10-year insurgency. The 2006 People's Movement turned Nepal into a republic, elections to the Constituent Assembly (CA) were held, and people hoped that a new constitution would address long-standing political issues and pave the way to economic prosperity.
But this did not happen. The hard-earned CA died without making a constitution. Leaders till date have been accusing one another for the debacle. As far as the people know, one of the bones of contention among the so-called big parties that let the CA die was whether to accept a common identity-based federalism or a single caste-based federalism. It is interesting to note that one of the leaders of the same group of activists that waged the 10-year People's War is our prime minister today. Also interesting is that there has been a split in this party and there have been calls for a repeat of history with the splinter group submitting a 70-point demand to the government.
The problems people are facing today are more severe than before. Ours is a small economy worth just Rs 1,558 billion. Our daily national income stands at a little below Rs 4.27 billion. Think about the size of the national income we could generate if there were no frequent bandas. The most hopeless story is that the industrial sector's growth has been stuck at 0.3 per cent for the last five years. The carpet industry miracle exists no more. The contribution of the manufacturing sector is ever shrinking terribly — a result of politically indoctrinated workers' unions confronting employers. This has inflicted additional costs on the economy. Such a culture of confrontation will never allow us to forge a "New Nepal" where our hopes, dreams and aspirations could turn into reality.
The Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) is singing the tune of consensus, but it intends to restrict the NC and the UML from working together and expose them as anti-federalists. It has brought votaries of ethnicity-based federalism together to corner them. The formation of the Federal Democratic Republic Alliance (FDRA) under its leadership is a calculative move in that direction. The NC and the UML are no less responsible for the present political deadlock. What does Sushil Koirala expect Prachanda to do to build a broader national consensus given his incapability to build consensus within his own party? The same holds true for Jhalanath Khanal.
Nepali leaders epitomise a strange character: They keep fighting tooth and nail for a long time; and after every such fight, they make a show of meeting together as an effort to bury the hatchet and reach some long-lasting decision, but they fail miserably to deliver. They never look back and review their actions. They just keep blowing their own trumpet. To them, consensus means others agreeing with them completely by giving up their stances. Consensus to them never means all working jointly to devise a golden mean. The Maoists seem not to have forgotten their violent upbringing. Instead of pouring oil on troubled waters, it even threatened to meet the opposition on the street and settle the issues there.
The leaders should realise that there is no substitute for consensus. It was the presence of consensus that enabled them to finish the Panchayat regime and dethrone the monarchy; it was the absence of consensus that strangled the CA to death. Such examples should suffice to instil a collaborative culture among them. The leaders of the so-called big parties now have only two choices — either take cognizance of the facts and keep doing the needful to prove your existence, or make way for those who closely follow the time signals and act commensurately. Why stay at the helm while being complete nonentities?

Excerpt from this article in the Washington Post:

...[W]hat distinguishes Ferguson from the crowded historical catalogue of racially-motivated street violence is what has happened in recent weeks: The unseemly buildup to the announcement of the grand jury's conclusion that no crime was committed in the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown has produced an expectation of ugliness. What occurred Monday night — and may continue in the days ahead — is rioting as planned event, so pervasively predicted, so extensively prepared for as to obscure the power and meaning of the protests.

A news media obsessed with predicting the next step, a security apparatus equipped to put down almost any uprising, and a political power structure apparently seeking to head off violence by predicting it have combined to produce an unprecedented sense of inevitability, reducing what has historically been an explosion of frustration to a kind of staged performance....

From Legal scholars praise Ferguson grand jury for fairness beyond the norm:

Legal experts across the country agree that while the process that led to a grand jury's decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson for killing Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, was unusual, it was not unfair. Rather if it was anything unusual, it was in its fairness and openness.

[...]

"It was the most thorough grand jury investigation that I've ever heard of," said Stephen Saltzburg, a professor of law at George Washington University Law School....

As much as some people wish otherwise, the evidence supported Officer Wilson's actions.

Myself, I think there was enough of a cloud that a trial was in order.

You've seen the evidence? You've read through the grand jury's transcripts?

From what I've read, the DNA evidence supported the officer's version of what happened. The accounts of eyewitnesses -- some of whom turned out not to be eyewitnesses at all -- differed.

Now, what should NOT have happened after the shooting is letting Michael Brown's body lie in the street for 5 hours. I wouldn't let an animal run over in the road lie there for five hours.

As a blog pointed out, when whites riot they do it over serious matter like the arrest of a pedophile at Penn State or a college festival.

Did they burn down an entire section of a town? If so, I missed that information.Always On Watchhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-7456405509757150762014-11-25T22:10:32.529-05:002014-11-25T22:10:32.529-05:00Low?

The cop said he was innocent, so caving to a deal wouldn't happen unless the prosecutor had damning evidence (plea deals are power struggles in essence.)

Proceedings are closed often- or more often then you would make them seen. If one party is a minor/in danger/easily susceptible/the media spins it/jury bias would be impossible to contain/many more reasons.
Name a lawyer with a good record. ANY. See if any of them are prosecutors. Those guys are power-hungry, blackmailing weasels. What else is new.
No more so than pretty much any other community in America. Sorry, Ferguson is not special. Blacks aren't special. The law is blind, and vindictive. She be a bitch you don't want to cross. It matters not to her the sorry state of the accused, the reputation of the players, or the emotions of anyone. Save the emotional appeals for the defense, and the judge (who actually can decide punishments based on things like background).

Now the possibility of a plea deal for the cop was pretty low in this case.

Given that the proceedings were completely closed and McCulloch's less than wholesome record it wa a pretty good way to tell the community in Ferguson to go screw themselves.
That's the respect they've been shown for decades.

You know I am against crony crapitalism. I also believe socialism is no answer.

What do you think of Australia? Free markets, but government also offers services ours offers, but Australia does it much more efficiently.

Government here is not on the side of We The People.

I have family in the St Louis Area, including some who live just south of Ferguson in a mostly black neighborhood.

I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure most of the violence is being perpetrated by outside agitators who just want to burn it all down, man.Silverfiddlehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-68797733108743613582014-11-25T19:19:12.739-05:002014-11-25T19:19:12.739-05:00Duck, the militarization of civilian law enforceme...Duck, the militarization of civilian law enforcement already occurs under the 1033 Program......without abatement under the current Administration.

"Almost always"? Seriously? W...Ducky...

"Almost always"? Seriously? WHAT facts and figures are YOU using?

I'll use one from my criminal justice class.

Out of 100 people arrested, 69 are prosecuted, 8 are diverted, 23 are dismissed. Out of those prosecuted, only four will go to trial- the rest plead guilty.

That dismissed is the grand jury stage/prosecutor. They both can drop the case if there is not enough evidence proving "beyond a reasonable doubt" that a crime occurred.

They actually RARELY bring a case to trial. The prosecutor and defense work out a plea bargain. Because IRL, the police normally are good enough at picking the right guy that the guilty are nearly always caught. If not, the GRAND JURY weeds them out.

Trials only happen when somebody seriously screwed up, or the prisoner is seriously stubborn. Given that 1% of convicted people end up getting proven innocent in trial, that should say a lot about our system.

So get over it. The guy isn't guilty. The American system, draconian as it is, works.

If you're implying that has no 'innocent' implications, you need to wake up.
Don't worry, by the way, the insult to McCulloch, on his handling of the grand jury and the timing of the announcement, etc., is swelling amongst you white libs.
As always, anything that doesn't please you, gets wiped away.
The Brown family's already asking for 'better' justice.

And, of course, this is all my fault and Silverfiddle and AOW's faults...we hate Blacks and turned down every cry for help to raise Michael by his mother and the father...we denied him public school, we denied him jobs, we denied him the character that would have prevented his robbing and pushing around that poor store owner, and I think we bought the pot he was high on, too..>Didn't you do that, SF? I couldn't find any for him.

He's HUGE, and I suppose that's scary, but....
His case is scary because political correctness doesn't allow most people to say exactly what I did above.

And yes, I think kids in those neighborhood learn that lesson far too early on...and I don't think for minus 3 seconds that's anybody's fault but those Black families around them.
Black on Black crime is FAR worse than ANY White on Black or particularly, COP on Black ever has been or ever will be. THAT is the scary thing.
These kids need hope; they don't need to be brought into the world by crack moms and sperm donors who don't give a damn about them.
They have NO HOPE....looting gives them power, a chance to feel like somebody "Look what I STOLE" replaces "Look how I DID in school..."
I hate this and I feel there's promise in every single one of those kids. Particularly since I've been working in high school education. EVERY one of them has love in them and wants to DO WELL.
These kids are robbed of that by their pedigree, not White people.Zhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-16274895416047810812014-11-25T18:49:01.475-05:002014-11-25T18:49:01.475-05:00I believe that a certain level of violence in this...I believe that a certain level of violence in this case was absolutely inevitable.

There were a lot of peaceful demonstrations nationwide, there were a lot of peaceful demonstrators in Ferguson. Remains to be seen if they have any effect.

We will probably never be privy to the grand jury proceeding but that process only determines if there is evidence to bring the case to trial.

They are only tasked to determine if there is sufficient evidence to bring the case to trial.
In fact, they almost always choose to bring a case to trial.

But Michael Brown was scary, so his life isn't worthy of full adjudication.
