Judge Napolitano: "When it comes to war, there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats; Both parties are power hungrySubmitted by SIERRAHPBT on Wed, 04/13/2011 - 17:40
If not Ron Paul. Judge Napolitano would make a fine president.
- Login to post comments
Anyone catch the Judge introducing Bill Kristol last night?
He said, prior to Freedom Watch, something to the effect that 'Kristol is going to welcome Obama to the war-mongering, constitution-trampling, neocon club-house'!
He's so polite, too polite to the Kristol's and the Linsdy Grahms. Perhaps that's why he's doing Beck's show, and Beck isn't.
The Judge never compromises his principled beliefs, BUT
he has that BROADMINDEDness that just about captures all lost and blinded kids in town.
I, too, wish to see Paul + Judge Nap ticket.
Do Congressmen not believe
Do Congressmen not believe what Judge says? Did they not swear an oath? Why did they not come back and initiate immediate impeachment proceedings? This should have been domestic "war". Our checks and balances GONE in a flash. NOT with a bang, and nary even a whimper.

Air Force spent more time looking at the pursuer in the rearview mirror than paying attention to what it was doing.
In doing so, it forgot one key component.
"We just took our foot off the pedal," forward Kamryn Williams said.
The Falcons led Wyoming by 15 points early, then tensed up and watched it slowly unraveled into a 66-59 loss Wednesday at Clune Arena.
"You try to relax them, crack a joke, tell them they're fine, go back to your training," Air Force coach Dave Pilipovich said. "But we just kept getting tighter and tighter, especially as the score got closer."
Wyoming (12-6, 3-2 Mountain West) had the deficit down to seven by halftime, to four with 15:41 remaining and finally took the lead with a 3-pointer from Nathan Sobey with 3:59 on the clock. Tre' Coggins immediately answered with a 3 for the Falcons, but the shot at 3:22 proved to be the final field goal for the home team.
"It was tough," said Justin Hammonds, who scored 13 points and had a team-high seven rebounds for Air Force. "Coach said it the best, he said we were out there having fun when we were playing the best, when we were up 15. We started letting things slip away and a lot of our players, including me, got tense and nervous."
If the nerves weren't too much to overcome, Larry Nance Jr. was. The son of the former NBA standout scored 20 points and had nine rebounds for Wyoming. Nance scored 10 points in the final 8:25.
"He does a great job of pretending like he doesn't want to do anything and then destroy you," said Air Force's Kamryn Williams, who scored 17 points. "He did a good job of picking us apart in the paint, using his size to his advantage."
Air Force (9-9, 3-4) is far more accustomed to being the team on the other side of an early hole, a role played to perfection by Wyoming under assistant coach Allen Edwards, who stepped in after Larry Shyatt was too ill to coach.
"The one thing, when you get put in this situation, you have to show your guys confidence," said Edwards, who won a pair of titles as a player at Kentucky in the 1990s. "You can't go into the huddle wavering or anything. The biggest thing that we, as a staff, tried to get across to our guys was staying the course. If we keep at it and stick with the game plan, it would eventually turn our way."
Wyoming's plan included getting to the free-throw line, where it made 23 of 24 - including 14 of 14 in the second half.
Air Force made it to the line just three times in the second half.
"We just kept backing up, backing up instead of attacking it," Pilipovich said.
Coggins scored 15 points for Air Force and Josh Adams, a Parker native and Chaparral graduate, had 17 for the Cowboys.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

or what Zizek has to do with G
BERLIN/SEOUL · "just a simple visit", said Jiwoong Yoon, but a rich one to Berlin. goes by the name of "G" - he took the responsibility to form an output out of the philosophy event "Badiou/Zizek" which took place in PLATOON KUNSTHALLE Seoul. ideas by one of the leading contemporary philosophers Slavoj Zizek, provoked him to go beyond political theory, simplify the message and raise awareness in all areas of a single person's daily life.
the South Korean multimedia artist and performer is also DJ and curator in PLATOON KUNSTHALLE Seoul where he takes care of the ARTIST LAB. recently he came to Berlin to presume one of his rAW rAW projects entitled "Stop, Think!".
his live street performance consist of constructing a moving billboard out of leftover woods with an attached graphic message "Stop, Think !". he took his installation to Alexanderlatz, Brandendburger Tor, Potsdamer Platz and Schlossplatz'.
walking slowly, he gave people enough time to see it, grasp it and interact. "i like the purpose of the event in Seoul which sought after to re-think and ask ourselves about everyday moments of our busy lifestyle" explained "G". could an artistic intervention performed publicly, evoke the audience to meditate about grounded perspectives of life?
in Berlin people reacted to his performance by smiling, laughing and sometimes with expression of confusion. people accepted the idea and sometimes went to have a talk with G, wondering about what he is showing. "it's a work which doesn't mean much in one specific sense but the meaning is altered in correspondence with the environment where it exists in".
R2MP (G's artistic name) performed as a DJ during PLATOON's weekly members gathering DONNERSTAGSBAR, as he used to animate "deep Thursdays" every week in Seoul. sharp bassy house tunes rocked the place!

below you can read a report written by Tokyo Data Collective:
" dear reader,
dive into the world of Tokyo Data Collective, a contemporary artists based in Switzerland, Germany and the UK. how do you combine ecological concerns, volt and amperes, art ,fondue, sound design, and styrofoam? furthermore, what do you do with twelve meters of aluminium, about two and a half kilometers of cables, pacifist opinions on a post-economical crisis world whose answer is sex and war, an old heating system and a cat?
those are the ingredients Tokyo Data Collective is using to built its next interactive mixed-media installation. some answers will be found, some new questions will arise, and everything takes it roots in the artist lab of PLATOON KUNSTHALLE. in any case, the installation – whose name SILLA comes from what you can read on the internet about an Inuit divinity – will be presented the 30th of november 2013.
what is interactivity, what does the Alps, Greenland and Berlin have in common, why is the sky blue, how many tons of trash were thrown away before the end of the world in 2012? moreover, what is the difference between digital and analog, what is the purpose of life, why does the italian coffee taste so good, why is photocopy so expensive and how many hours is spent in one lifetime sweping the floor?
drop by if you have answers or if you want to share a cup of tea, have some issues with bad lighting system or love jazz, make some strange noises with your fingers or if you are colorblind and want to tell us what color is your world!
whatfor can CD still be used, why sushi is good for your health, how irritating but essential can be rain, how many cigarets can be smoked it one minute, why write in english? Additionally, what are dreams made of, how long can you not pee if there is no toilet around, what influence has good mood on your life and finally, what is happiness??
this is Tokyo Data Collective from the artist lab in PLATOON KUSNTHALLE, Berlin."
Alexandre Gaeng is art director and designer, Alexandre Maurer is sound designer, jazz musician, music producer and drummer. Yannick Tinguely is bass player, sound designer, music producer, project manager. together with the developer Christian Raemy, the DIY artist Sam Andreae and the visual artist Louis Gasser, they aim at bringing the audience inside the actual process of creation. they invite all of us to interact with the art-piece and modify its structure on the go, gaining unexpected results and sound-aesthetic effects.
a large array of LED lights, at the center of the contemplative installation, will move via dynamic sensors. it will float and change its shape following instructions coming from the examination of different data statistics - like environmental or demographics analysis. Tokyo Data brings the general public into the art flow, allowing a shift of understanding of the overall meaning and concept of data visualization from abstract to more concrete.
the exposition's capacity will be limited to a certain amount of people in order to retain reactions and offer a full immersive experience. the sculpture modifies and reacts to data while internal associations comes along together with combined sounds and musical textures translating mathematical results into visual shapes and sound messages; each time a new combinations comes to life.

SEOUL · Communists Meet Gangnam Style
with philosophers Badiou & Žižek
SEOUL · PLATOON KUNSTHALLE hosted an event of philosophy which discusses about the most urgent contemporary social problems with 12 worldclass philosophers including Slavoj Žižek, Alain Badiou and Wang Hui. read the review by John R. Eperjesi, associate professor of English, Kyung Hee University in Seoul:
in 2003, two students at Konkuk University in Seoul were arrested for engaging in "enemy-benefitting" activity. evidence of the students' transgression was possession of Karl Marx's Capital, Louis Althusser's For Marx and George Katsiaficas' The Imagination of the New Left.
as Katsiaficas notes in his new book, Asia's Unknown Uprisings, "apparently, the students quoted sections of these books in a pamphlet they wrote and distributed it in a neighborhood slated for demolition."
a little over a decade later, on september 27, 2013, one of Althusser's students, the French philosopher Alain Badiou, delivered the keynote address at a conference in Seoul organized around left philosophy, politics and art entitled, "The Žižek/Badiou Event of Philosophy."
Badiou was joined by the Slovenian psychoanalytic philosopher Slavoj Žižek, Chinese language and literature professor Wang Hui and a number of other Korean and international scholars. the conference took place at PLATOON KUNSTHALLE Seoul, a military bunker/art space located in the plastic heart of Gangnam.
the irony of holding an event on communism and Marxism in Gangnam, the zone of gaudy consumerism made famous by Psy, was lost on no one. this irony was compounded by the fact that Gangnam is only 35 miles away from the DMZ and our Cold War neighbors to the north.
read the entire review on Huffingtonpost.
they take whatever suitable material they found and unite the pieces together with cling films: they bring to life funny and suggestive characters that seem to come out from a video game or an augmented reality App.
"we always try to realize each installation in an individual way, but of course they are all somehow linked to each other. The concept behind our art is on the one hand the illustration of diverse problems in our society, and on the other hand the demonstration of the simplicity of a creative process. Thereby we're always using similar materials, but the message of each installation is a different one."
Bosso Fataka's art, perfectly sat on the line between public art installations and radical thinking, means to entertain and humoristically provoke reflections about environmental issues.
"our message is to use your creative mind to change things which keep you occupied. As an artist in a public area you reach many people and get auditory. By this you can easily provoke people's attention for problems in your society, or just entertain them."
covering pretty much all Berlin - during summer and winter - Hamburg and Leipzig, they've recently stopped in New York City letting their figures shine under the american sun, while watching the crowd from a Williamsburg's Rooftop. the photographer Just was there to capture the moment.
"we try to be continuously present in the streets of the world. it's true, we did a lot in Berlin but there are many places left which needs to be wrapped. when we're traveling we always have some cling wraps in our bags. waste is present all around the world and inspiration too. next destinations will be France, Albania and of course Berlin."
we saw examples of their ephemeral works few times here at PLATOON KUNSTHALLE but at REMAKE Festival, which took place in September this year, the match was particularly significative. In fact: their bodily shaped sculptures, deliberately push us to rethink, reflect and rework the world we live in."
"we're part of this culture and our daily life is connected to it. we don't see ourselves as an apostle of sustainability, but we try to open eyes for things like that. sustainability is a famous phrase but not possible in a modern society. every consumption is connected to waste production and the use of cling wrap is our part of this process. self-criticism is the first step of thinking about sustainability."
as also Bosso Fataka suggests: "Make art not war!"

as an artist-in-residence at the BE Performance Festival in Birmingham, Dadara's thoughts on money have been the source of inspiration for the work of a group of performers. he himself is currently developing the artistic economy analysis into what will become his next project "Like 4 Real", which has caught the attention of both Huffingtonpost and Time.com.
following "Fools Ark" (2002), "Burning Greymen" (2003), "Checkpoint Dreamyourtopia" (2008), "Exchanghibition Bank" (2011) and the "Transformoney Tree" (2012), "Like 4 Real" will be featured as Dadara's sixth installation at Burning Man, Nevada.
characteristically positioned in a border sphere, Dadara's "Like 4 Real" invites you to either take the blue or red pill, leading you to stay in reality or plunge into Likewonderland. the project highlights the alienating gap floating between the online-offline worlds and how in fact the digitalized era is slowly sinking into a state of oblivion. what better location than the wiped slates of Nevada's dusty desert to frame an installation that seeks to awaken our consciousness and reinstate a forgotten connectedness?
the project is centered around our current like-society, which has turned the gesture of liking into a commodity and even the new gold, according to Dadara. this is clearly referenced in the gold surface of the installation: an enormous Facebook 'like-hand' situated on a black platform that forms steps, where the burners will be able to sit and chat. the installation is just the physical object of what is meant to be a spiritual exercise consisting of a 'Like tribe' that seeks to reach 'Enlikement' through chanting, dancing and drumming.
'Like 4 Real' is a manifest representation of a new deity that society worships without really comprehending it, without having gone through a formal baptism. when materialized, the reality we live in and its absurd facets are rendered transparent.

recent examples include a pictorial reinterpretation of biological processes in video installations (grapheme, Museum Wiesbaden, 2013), virtual sculptures (vitreous, Target City Lights Minneapolis, 2012) and water projections (advection, Lichtsicht Biennale, 2013). his films have been honoured with several prices like an Honorary Award of KunstFilmBiennale (Cologne, Germany) and the Prize for Best Experimental Film at Ottawa International Animation Festival (Ottawa, Canada).
by layering different structural, spatial and temporal concepts organically he creates a slowly evolving complexity. this multifaceted perspective, a kind of narrational skeleton, is filled by the viewers own memory and creates a seamless blend with the artwork itself. we've been captured by the originality of Seidel's works and I was really curious to have a chat with him about his relationship with nature, humans and technology.
Q: how do you manage to create narratives through which viewers connect?
A: first and most obviously, my works are abstract and not representational. but still they are not random, they follow certain rules and change in specific processes that are closely related to nature. so the viewer tries to read these images, first on the level of evolutionary-derived knowledge. this means certain shapes and movements catch our attention, like thousands of years ago, when we were much stronger depending on reading nature's changes or reacting on emotions of humans and animals.
the second level is our personal memory, the situations and moments we accumulate in our brain. these symbols are often connected to our childhood or turning-points. people sometimes tell me their associations and the stories they develop are highly narrative, highly memorized – triggered by abstract images and sound.
Q: you clearly want to go beyond technology creating organic forms and abstract bodies. do you feel like the technology you are using is an extension of yourself or sometimes you have miscommunication (human-machine) problems?
A: technology is not an extension of my ideas, they are vehicles and tools that shape the artwork on its way into reality. first ideas are in free flow. then I draw sketches, collect things like photos, videos, data and 3d-models. when I have enough of these raw materials technology allows me to sort, blend and merge everything to a continuous cinematic flow. problems can be technological, organizational or economical, so "miscommunication" can happen on all levels and are part of the artistic process.
Q: how did you master your path?
A: first I studied biology for some time, then media design at Bauhaus University Weimar, while working on very commercial 3D animations. working on the vision of another person and streamline everything for the most predictable audience reaction made me sick.
"_grau" was my manifesto to show what is possible to create with a vision beyond the engineered animation cliché, putting art-historic categories like painting, drawing and sculpture into movement.
I was also interested in misusing these digital tools to praise the random element and surprises (no storyboard!). all this ends in a very controlled way in the final phase, which is not accidental or generative at all. from my experimental films I started doing installations, media facades and projection sculptures, so things change constantly and there is no path into the future. it only becomes visible in the past.
Q: tell us a bit about your life in Berlin, what makes it so special that you don't want to move to another city?
A: Berlin is loud, dirty, quite unfriendly and expensive for the money people earn here. also most art institutions have just a minimal financial foundation, so the number of people doing art related to technology is quite small compared to the potential of our time. nevertheless there are people I like to meet and places I'm glad to visit, so there is a lot to explore when not being buried in work. but coming from the small town Jena and finding no rest in Berlin, sooner or later all the noise will make me move…
Q: what's up next? any collaborations?
A: I'm performing at "Field of Vision", a new Music festival in the Centre for Contemporary Art Torun (Poland) with the "Lutosławski Quartet" and "The Woodwind Quintet of Cracow Philharmonics".
then different things are revealed soon in detail – an exhibition in Korea and a DVD published by the Center of Visual Music. but the big plan for next year is making a new movie: "_grau" will be 10 years old in 2014!
thank you very much Robert this interview has been much appreciated. we look forward to keeping updated on your future projects!

from 11th till 15th of September PLATOON KUNSTHALLE Berlin and the surrounding area was taken over by artists, designers, doers and thinkers, who explored and introduced the themes of upcycling, sustainability and alternative economies in everyday life.
REMAKE festival showcased some of the most captivating artists from Berlin and Belgrade, who managed to inspire the festival participants and involve them into various activites. for the first time participants not only learned the theory but worked hands on and practically dirtied their fingers and gave form to their immagination.
Platoon's team of designers and volunteers created with their own hands 500 posters: spraying over old tools they left different traces making each design unique.
REMAKE Festival was featured on Sugarhigh, Art Parasites, Berlin.de, Il Mitte, Kaltblut, Koxtrok, Milenskaya, Perfekt, Berliner Zeitung, Zitty Berlin, Flux FM, Betahaus, Qiez, Fritzing, Trafopop and Vice Magazine. 32 articles and blog posts and interviews exposed and talked about the Festival both on and offline bringing the maker movement under an international light.
Bosso Fataka set up a huge installation out of reclaimed materials which welcomed the festival participants at the entrance. at the FabLab workshop the visitors learned how to use a 3D printer, laser cutter and how to engrave a phone. Earthship Biotecture crew built a site-specific earthship, with the help of, as they said: "just a sledgehammer, a shovel, a level, and some volunteers" while Betahaus Makerlab team gathered huge number of DIY fans.
the outcome of Uros Pajovic's workshop was a swing made of cardboard, while during TrafoPop workshops LED lamps decorated jackets attracted the crowd attention. Onyx Ashanti's presentation and performance steared up the attendants for almost two hours due to huge interest. Fritzing workshop introduced Arduino technology, while the Vospertron performance was a spectacular combination of technology and dance.
night time was reserved for great musicians and artists such as Marco Barotti with his DIY pneumatic drum, Mother Perera with a striking DJ set and Simonne Jones with her LED paintings.
in partnership with PLATOON KUNSTHALLE Berlin, REMAKE Festival got a new form, and after two successful years in Belgrade, came to Berlin. it was not a conventional festival, but rather a space for collaborative work and exchange between different DIY makers, players and all festival participants.

you probably know Sasha as the charismatic singer of Jahcoozi or as DJ Mother Perera blasting some proper bass music in a dark basement. and now it is Perera Elsewhere where she 'cures' her musical addiction, this time in a hauntingly beautiful way. still she never abandons her critical approach touching on topics ranging from the corruption of organized religion, gender discrimination and technological advancements leading to human over-dependance.
on 28th of october will drop the LP Everlast with a fantastic feature by Gonjasufi. the full-lenght album is coming out on Friends of Friends, who's roster includes prolific 22-year-old beatmaker Shlohmo, reknown John Talabot, Mykki Blanco and Salva to name a few.
just recently the legendary producer Prefuse 73 tweeted: "@FoF Music: @pereraelsewhere is pretty much the future, right?" judging by released songs we heard and concerts we saw, there is something substantial behind this statement and not just a gentleman's (PR) gesture!
check it out yourself on the 5th of november at the album release party supported by Robot Koch's live set and DJ sets by Sick Girls, Sarah Farina and shepherd, all accompanied by Hugo Holger Schneider's visuals, who directed the surrealistic video Bizzare as well. and read the recent interview she gave for The Fader.

BERLIN · "it all began almost exactly four years ago. it was hot, just like today. I had a desire for refreshment and grabbed the nearest Magnum ice cream. only it did not provide the cooling effect I was looking for. is it impossible for ice cream to be empowering, vitalizing, even healthy, I thought?"
yes, it might sound like the beginning of a pastel-coloured 90's commercial with cut-offs, tennis headbands and sketchy moustaches. but actually it is an insight into the initial thoughts of David Marx, designer, founder and CEO of The Science Kitchen, which would then catapult a thorough search for knowledge on how to improve the ice cream industry.
unsatisfied with the existing ice cream supply and its market, ice cream packs in supermarkets infused with 60% air and high amounts of fat and sugar, he decided he wanted to create a product that differentiated from the same basic body other ice creams were built on. this would prove to be a difficult task:
"the main issue, which has been around since the day ice cream was invented about hundred years ago, is that the creation process is texture-oriented. I wanted to focus on ingredients, taste and think recipe-oriented instead, but was confronted with obstacles within the water cell, which others had solved by adding fat, sugar and air."
when frozen, the water cell expands while everything else shrinks, which destroys the cell and displaces the ingredients to the outer layer of the cell. "it is tricky to work with and complicates a healthy end result. but it had to be possible to solve this riddle…" David adds.
thanks to methods from the molecular and avant-garde kitchen, a domain highly influenced by one of the best chefs in the world, Feran Adrià, David dealt with the problem of the crystalline effect by applying liquid nitrogen of 196 minus degrees in the process of freezing. thereby the water cells have no time to expand and additives become unnecessary. David and chef de cuisine, Hannes Rütz, can then proceed to work by deciding themselves what to mix into the bowl and not letting this be governed by much else than their taste buds. this is also guaranteed by the fact that everything is cooked and handmade without machinery.
"if we add sugar, it is birch sugar or coconut blossom syrup or sugar extracted from the coconut blossom. these are high quality products with low calories, fit for diabetics and make splendid seasoning. the difference is that we do not need 30% sugar in the making, but perhaps 5% depending on the type of ice cream – you have to be aware of yoghurt's sour taste for an example," David notes.
when choosing the ingredients, David turns to BIO products and Fairtrade, e.g. "Original Beans", yoghurt from "Lobetal" (a workspace for people with disabilities), fruits from plantations in Belgium and mango purée from India. but the BIO/Fairtrade world is not perfect. "it denies hardworking farmers certificates due to their fruits being 'too small', so you cannot always equal fairness with stamps", David says, which is why he relies even more on personal relationships and micro-scaled purchases.
the resulting BIO, vegan and lactose free KYL21 popsicles, a name inspired by the Swedish spelling of 'molecule' (molekyl), look like something that has either landed from Mars or is designed to travel there. a futuristic shape for an ice cream of the future. with a background in product design he wanted to stray away from the typical stainless steel ice forms in the industry and create a visual wow. furthermore, the angular shapes enable air to move in as you work your way from one stage to the other, enhancing the taste intensity of featured ingredients like the etheric oils from mint, thymine and rosemary.
because David and his chefs work after the puritan principle "if it is not possible (yet), we will not do it" (no additives, no artificial flavouring), we will have to wait a little for this fall's flavor (or fragrance): a pumpkin base with bittersweet chocolate, thymine and orange juice. it sounds like it is worth the wait!
till then, you can drop by the KUNSTHALLE Berlin and see what is in store.

Unveiled & Unstoppable: Muslim Women in Science
This is a paper I wrote for my religion & science class. I use various articles, case studies and interviews to explore how the teachings of Islam encourage the participation of women in science. I illustrate the experiences of women in science in the West as well as in the East. I also suggest that much of Islam's negative stereotypes stem from unsupported biases as well as misinterpretations rather than traditional Islamic values.
Great paper!
I absolutely love the topic you chose for your paper, and reading the summary made me want to read it. It's so true that misinterpretations of Islamic texts have led to the oppression of too many Muslim women. At the same time, it is rare that we see people outside the Muslim world writing about how Muslim women are also agents, not just passive recipients of culture and tradition. Your paper shows this. Great job!

Notre Dame can set sights on title game with win over Oklahoma

NORMAN, Okla. — It all changes now for Notre Dame.
Saturday night's defining 30-13 victory over Oklahoma — no, at Oklahoma — speeds everything up. It's no longer about wondering if Everett Golson is ready to handle being the QB at Notre Dame; it's about wondering just how good he can be. It's no longer about avoiding the noise; it's about making a lot of it. And it's no longer about going to a BCS bowl game; it's about going to the BCS bowl game — the national championship game.
"We knew what this game meant," receiver T.J. Jones said. "We see the big picture."
That picture came into focus in a taut second half, as Golson — Notre Dame's beleaguered redshirt freshman — came into his own.
Coming off a concussion that forced him to sit out last week, Golson took command of the huddle with nine minutes to go in the fourth quarter. The record crowd of 86,031 at Memorial Stadium was shaking down its own thunder after the Sooners' dormant offense woke up and tied the game 13-13 on Blake Bell's one-yard run — the first rushing TD surrendered by Notre Dame all season. But Golson, who admitted to succumbing to the pressure at home against Michigan, a game in which he was yanked in the second quarter, answered the challenge.
His beautiful 50-yard pass to Chris Brown over the top set the Irish up at the Oklahoma 15. And after stalling out in the red zone all day — heck, all season — Golson hit Theo Riddick and Tyler Eifert to set up third-and-goal from the 1, then shoved his way into the end zone, shoving Notre Dame into the national championship conversation.
"He led," coach Brian Kelly said. "He was confident, calm. All those things you need to see from your quarterback when you're on the road against very good opposition."
All told, it's a shocking development. Shocking because the Irish (8-0) entered the season facing an unbeatable schedule with a presumably beatable secondary and a rookie quarterback. Shocking because the Irish entered this game as 11-point underdogs. And shocking because, well, the Irish looked absolutely overmatched early on.
"What we've been hearing was a lot of people didn't think we could win this game," Golson said. "So that added that fuel to my fire that was already burning. I wanted to come out and show them that we could."
Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones (35-for-51, 356 yards) shredded the Irish defense in the first quarter, facing no pressure in the pocket and seemingly no coverage in the defensive backfield. But Kelly said that was the strategy — keep the Sooners in front of you; bend, don't break. And sure enough, OU's first two impressive drives yielded only three points.
And when Cierre Wood busted through the middle for a 62-yard run two snaps after the Sooners' field goal, he gave the Irish more than just a 7-3 lead. He gave them confidence and calmness in the storm of Sooners fans. When the Irish forced two consecutive punts after that, the crowd quieted, and the Irish took control of the clock, and of the game.
The Irish took a tenuous 10-6 lead into the locker room and came back out with a purpose — running the ball down the Sooners' throats. A 44-yard Kyle Brindza field goal made it 13-6 early in the fourth quarter, capping another character-defining drive for Golson, who showed off skills, savvy and toughness. He finished 13-for-25 for 177 yards and had 54 rushing yards.
And when Oklahoma showed new life by tying it up with 9:10 to go, Golson showed his killer instinct.
After the go-ahead score, Manti Te'o — who else? — sealed the win with a diving interception of a tipped ball. ND added a 46-yard Brindza field goal and a 15-yard Riddick TD run, sending the Irish into a three-game stretch of weak opponents and a potential 11-0 record when they travel to USC for the season finale, a game that — remarkably — could have everything on the line.

Gossip Girl Finale Spoilers: A Polarizing Twist ...by Steve Marsi at . Comments
The Gossip Girl's finale is just days away, and speculation is running rampant as to what we can expect in the closing moments of the final chapter, when the series endgame - and titular character - are revealed at last.
It sounds like there may be more surprises in store than fans are ready for.
Regarding the much-discussed flash forward, we'll catch a glimpse at no fewer than FIVE Gossip Girl couples at an undetermined point in the not-too-distant future, according to TV Line's Michael Ausiello.
Of those five pairings, "Three future couplings will surprise you. Two won't."
Amazingly, that's not even all we have to discuss right now.
There's apparently a twist coming our way in the final 15 minutes that may polarize Gossip Girl fans even more than Season 5's infamous and controversial Dan-Blair-Chuck triangle did.
What could that entail? And what couples end the series together? Which will be the ones we expect, and which may come as a shock? The possibilities on this show are certainly plentiful.
Share your predictions in the comments below!
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: Gossip Girl, Spoilers
@MichaelBL hahaha, God! If that happens Lilly is more a goldigger-bitch than we'd think...so it's probably.
If there's a flash forward several years into the future, then one of the unexpected couples could be Lily and Cyrus, Eleanor having sadly died.
I think they will have Blair and Dan together at the end, i mean why bother with it all last two season then have Dan turn around and want serena again. He was so mean to serena last season, why she would want him now who knows and i=kinda pathetic. ooh maybe chuck dies and blair and nate :P
I hope that it is Serena/Dan, Chuck/Blair.
I am kind of hoping for Rufly but know that won't happen, maybe the two of them end up alone.
Definitely, Nate with either Jenny, Sage or Juliet. and then Jack/Georgina.
As for the third one, who knows? Maybe it will be Lily and William- if that happens i'd be pissed
Dan is gossip girl. Watch the season 2 finale for clues.
hi guys, can someone please tell me why everyone thinks it will turn out to be a book? I get that there has to be a twist in the finale, but why this? did we have any scripts or anything else?
"mocks our superficial fantasies while satisfying them, allowing us to partake in the over-the-top pleasures of the irresponsible superrich without anxiety or guilt or moralizing." That quote explains why fans shouldn't care about Bart's death and Chuck and Blair's refusal to help him
Ok last post sorry ! On same ggwriters site, a picture of chuck and Blair next to each other with none other than lil Henry right in front of them ;)
I will kind of be annoyed if they pull some 'coma dream' crap, y'know. As much as I've disliked parts of seasons 5 and 6, acting like it never happened doesn't mean we never had to watch it. It would just mean that the story hasn't progressed at all in a whole year. If the whole series turns out to be Dan's book, I won't be too disappointed as long as they flash back out into real life again to show us what really happened. Instead of being a retcon, at least that idea of the whole series being a book is productive in some way (with regards to the fact that it would be a fulfilment of Dan's life-long aspiration).
@ lol yea i know its hard think it might happen. I realize that it may be louis child but remember we never saw the paternity test so it could still be chucks. Sure she said it was louis but who knows? OR remember just before the accident that Chuck said he would love her child as much as he loves her ( even tho it was louis). Who knows whats going to happen. I just can't wait either way!

I seem to remember having come across the word "avuncular" used as a noun, as, for example, in the sentence "You are a perfect avuncular," whereas the word is most usually used as an adjective. Is its use as a noun recorded anywhere (perhaps as achaic usage), or might the speaker have meant to say "avunculus" instead of "avuncular"?

Although I tend to write these quite often, I somewhat hate doing the effusive "this author is so great!" thing. Not that the authors don't deserve it, in fact, quite the opposite, but there's something much more intellectually satisfying about writing a harsh diss. Virulent criticism, which is usually wedded in a small dislike of something that gets blown up to an extreme for a variety of reasons, such as humor, point driving, or posturing, makes you seem a lot smarter than you probably are. Noticing a flaw, or pointing out an inconsistency, or trashing an author's otherwise stellar reputation, is impressive. You are a better reader than others because you pay attention to shortcomings and now how to contrast these with a nearly Platonic ideal of what a Great Book should be instead of simply reading for enjoyment while on the beach or in the bathroom, half-distracted by the anxieties of daily life.
By contrast, giving an author too much love—even if deserved, even if he/she is already well-respected internationally—makes you seem a bit foolish and simple, like a cheerleader or a lifelong Cubs fan.
Nevertheless, although I've only read two of his books—The Train Was on Time and The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum—I think Heinrich Böll is one o my new favorite authors.
I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to read Böll. Part of it is the war thing—almost all of his books are tied to World War II, which doesn't get me off as much as it does others. Also doesn't help that the dude wrote approximately 762 books, making it tricky to figure out where exactly to start.
Both of which are totally shitty reasons, especially now that I've read a couple of books and fallen under the charm of Böll's prose, the crafty way he puts together his stories, his compelling characters, etc.
I'm going to write a full review of The Train Was on Time in the next couple weeks, but this novel—about Andreas, a young German soldier who, while boarding a train suddenly knows for certain that the war's coming to a close and he's going to die . . . soon—is incredibly tight and evocative. The writing is precise, complemented by a certain charm in the authorial voice that drew me in immediately.
Another stupid reason why I didn't read Böll before now: the previously published editions weren't 1/10,000th as attractive as the new "Essential Heinrich Böll" series from Melville House Publishing.
I don't think there's another press in
America the World as good at branding themselves as Melville House.
First off, look at those covers—fucking beautiful. Simple, dreamy and geometric. Attractive. That's something you'll never really get with ebooks. Sure, it's pretty simple to design a new 2" x 3" jpeg whenever you want, but there is a certain thrill that comes from collecting a set of newly reissued books from your favorite author. Not to mention, something like this helps push the books out in front of the eyes of readers again. Switching a jpg image on a website just kind of isn't the same.
And then there's the "Essential" part of their series. Suddenly the total number of books Böll's written doesn't really matter. There are eight (six pictured here, plus Irish Journal and What's to Become of the Boy? Or, Something to Do with Books) books Melville has decided to reissue. Obviously, these are the ones worth reading. And I will. Book by book by book.
Adding introductions or afterwords to reprints is nothing new, but the line-up of people who wrote pieces for these reissues is pretty interesting. There's William Vollmann, who is to afterwords what Harry Mathews is to book blurbs, and there's Salman Rushdie, but there's also Jess Crispin of Bookslut and Scott Esposito of Quarterly Conversation. Very cool, and very smart, since both of these writers are also well-known for helping promote great works of literature.
Anyway, all this is to say that I love Heinrich Böll, and you should too. (And to prove that yes, I am still alive, working on occasion, and reading. I know it's been a slow Three Percent summer . . .)
Full reviews of all the books to come . . .

Beyonce bodyguard, Croatian cameraman clash
By AFP
A visit by US R&B diva Beyonce to the Croatian coastal resort of Dubrovnik ended with one of her bodyguards exchanging blows with a local journalist, Croatian media reported on Wednesday.
Beyonce was heading to a boat anchored in the medieval port with her rapper husband Jay-Z when the bodyguard kicked a Croatian cameraman, 57, in the back several times, the online edition of the Jutarnji List daily said.
Private television station RTL showed images of the incident on Tuesday night including journalists chasing the pop star down Dubrovnik's narrow streets despite her bodyguard's protests.
Before getting back on the boat, the bodyguard knocked the journalist's video camera to the ground, and then laid into the man himself, the footage showed.
The cameraman then hit the bodyguard in the back with his tripod, who, visibly angry, responded by throwing it in the Adriatic sea.
Police said they were investigating the incident.
Pictures of Beyonce -- named the world's fourth most powerful celebrity by Forbes magazine in June -- holidaying on a yacht off the resort known as the pearl of the Adriatic have been a big hit with the Croatian press.

Q: Does 12/31/2013 mean that I must file Request for Mortgage Assistance (RMA) with lender by 12/31/2013? Or lender should process or submt this application to government by this date?
A: You must submit the RMA by that date. You should plan to send it so as to be received no later than 12/312013.
Q: I fought my foreclosure for 6 years. I never did a loan mod or filed for bankruptcy during that time. My case was just recently dismissed without prejudice but the statute of limitations has expired. How do I go abut clearing up the title and mortgage.
A: I agree with the other counsel. Quiet Title is a very special remedy and it is not treated lightly by the courts because, particularly in your case, of the gravity of the result to the parties. See the link below to some explanation of the process, and carefully chose an attorney that you feel comfortable with and who makes sense.
Q: A real estate agent sent us a letter stating, 'Because you lease is not 'FVM' Full Market Value for the area, the Saving Tenants From Protection Act will not help you. She also has been regularly contacting the real estate agent managing the property and told her, 'The bank will get them out one way or another...they have an army of lawyers.'
A: It is impossible to say anything definitive without knowing more, but it sounds like you are being lied to,a no it also sounds like the banks realtor is engaging in unauthorized practice of law. The Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act requires that the rental be "arms length".
According to documents filed in this case, Youngheim participated in a large-scale mortgage fraud scheme designed to unjustly enrich himself and his business partner Loveless (among others) to the detriment of neighboring homeowners in Gary, Indiana, and taxpayers generally. Individuals who were recruited to buy most of the houses sold in the scheme were first-time home buyers with little practical experience in the field of real estate and with limited to no familiarity with the Gary, Indiana real estate market.
According to the indictment and plea agreement, Harrell operated a scheme in which he off ered , in exchange for a fee from a homeowner facing foreclosure , to postpone foreclosure proceedings on the homeowner's property. Harrell accomplished this by instructing homeowner clients to deed fractional interests in th eir properties to other individu als whom Harrell would pay to file bankruptcy petitions in U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Once the bankruptcy petitions were filed, Harrell would notify creditors — which included multiple TARP banks — seeking to foreclose on his clients' properties , th at the propert ies were part of an active bankruptcy proceeding .
'The bottom line is that the notice of substitution of Plaintiff in judicial states, or notice of substitution of Trustee in non-judicial states should be the first line of battle. Neither one of them is valid and in both cases you have a stranger to the transaction being allowed to name itself as creditor, name its own controlled entity or subsidiary as trustee, and then ignore the realities of the money paid to the real creditor. They are claiming damages from the borrower — all for a debt that in the ordinary course of things has already been paid several times over. But it is true that it wasn't paid to THEM because THEY were never and are not now the creditor fulfilling the definition of a creditor who could bid at the foreclosure auction. It is not that the borrower doesn't owe money when he borrows it, it is that he doesn't owe it to any of the people who are claiming it. And that is what gives rise to liability of law firms to borrowers." Neil F Garfield
Lillian Marquez, 38, and Michael Keatts, 56, both of Stockton, California, were arrested in their homes for a mortgage fraud scheme. A federal grand jury indictment charged them with conspiring to commit mortgage fraud and with nine counts of mail fraud. The indictment was unsealed upon their arrests. According to the indictment, from February 2006 through at least August 2012, Marquez and Keatts operated Colonial Home and Business Services, Stockton, California. Both defendants were licensed real estate agents who assisted clients in purchasing and selling homes.
After reviewing three years of personal financial disclosures, the Center found judges who authored opinions favoring companies in which they owned stock. The Center found judges who ruled on cases even when family members were receiving income from one of the parties. And it found judges who accepted lavish gifts — like a $50,000 trip from a lawyer.
"When it mattered most, Fifth Third failed to write down the value of loans it held on its books, and as a result, the bank didn't show its true losses on those loans in the records it used to apply for TARP funds," said Christy Romero, Special Inspector G eneral for TARP (SIGTARP). "Treasury and federal taxpayers, who funded the TARP bailout and who became investors in Fifth Third and other banks, deserved to know the truth about Fifth Third's financial condition."
The primary payment we are focusing on today is servicer advances which come in different flavors — non-stop, limited and none. Most loans (96%) are subject to claims of securitization regardless of what the current servicer or trustee is telling you. And most of those (my guess is around 75%-90%) come with third party obligors, which is why there is so much confusion. Besides servicer advances, the agents for the trust beneficiaries at the investment bank who sold them the bonds received on behalf of the bond holders, insurance payments and other funds from other contracts designed to limit the risk associated with the terms of the bond repayment of interest and principal.
The first thing is judges are moving cases toward resolution at speeds far greater than has ever before occurred. It's a tidal wave of foreclosure actions that is ripping across Florida like a wildfire. And as in any great fury, there are mistakes being made…..many of them. But far worse than the outcome for consumers who go into court without an attorney and see first hand that they are losing their homes are the consumers who do not have any notice that they are losing their homes….
Lisa Kay Brumfiel's legal battle to stop the foreclosure of her house took a fatal hit Oct. 2 when U.S. District Judge William J. Martínez ruled that his jurisdiction to handle the case dissolved months ago when U.S. Bank changed how it would pursue the property. Brumfiel challenged the constitutionality of Colorado's most common foreclosure process, known as a Rule 120, which is a streamlined way for lenders to take mortgaged property when homeowners default.
Sale is declared void ab initio; These are the words that Edwin Calle and his attorneys Brian McCaffrey Attorney at Law, P.C. have been waiting to hear for more than six (6) months. On Monday October 21, 2013 Mr. McCaffrey met with his client to explain the ramifications of the long awaited decision. Mr. Calle can now begin the process of trying to save his home by entering into loss mitigation with his servicer Bank of America.
Last December, the California Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal filed by a couple who had accused financial giant Wells Fargo & Co. of predatory lending. One justice, who owned stock in the bank, recused himself from the case. But Justice Kathryn Werdegar, who owned as much as $1 million of Wells Fargo stock, participated — and shouldn't have. The Center for Public Integrity learned of Werdegar's financial stake thanks to California's relatively strong financial reporting requirements for justices. But California's law is an exception.
A Monday order from Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Richard Oftedal spells out some of the problems in today's foreclosures, from law firms' playing hot potato with cases to just plain shoddy handling. Oftedal dismissed the 2010 case after a hearing where the lender's attorney, who was new to the file, sputtered through explanations as to why it took the bank six months to meet a two-week deadline to comply to one order and why it never complied to another request to file a new complaint.
The answer appears to be a lawsuit to quiet title which really can be met with little opposition. And a second action for slander of credit and identity theft looks promising to clear the negative credit reports and collect damages. For more information on this see my blog posts in 2007 and 2008, where I predicted we would get to exactly this point. While the policy makers were passing laws and enacting draconian rules of procedure to clear the calendar of foreclosure cases caused by what they thought were dilatory defenses, it is now revealed that it is the plaintiffs that have delayed the cases not the homeowners. And while all of that was happening an increasing number of cases were being tried and won by homeowners as lawyers came up to speed on the facts and the law applied to these ridiculous instruments that are treated as though they were true notes and mortgages.
Practice Hint: always check the State Statutes (or the Federal Rules) on evidence, especially here say and hearsay exceptions before you open your mouth or file any discovery. There are some juicy morsels in there. Like how you can use business records as an exception to hearsay and how the fundamental issue is the trustworthiness of the records. Simply stated, if the records are those of a non-party who has no interest in the outcome, then the Court should lean toward allowing the business records into evidence upon the proffer of an appropriate witness and compliance with other rules of procedure requiring notice to the opposing party. Those rules should be carefully reviewed and used against the Bank if they don't comply.
According to court documents, from at least as early as Feb. 6, 2007 until at least Jan. 3, 2012, Penguin Properties and Lynn conspired with others not to bid against one another, but instead to designate a winning bidder to obtain selected properties at public real estate foreclosure auctions in Fulton County, Ga. Penguin Properties and Lynn were also charged with a conspiracy to use the mail to carry out a scheme to fraudulently acquire title to selected Fulton County properties sold at public auctions, to make and receive payoffs and to divert money to co-conspirators that would have gone to mortgage holders and others by holding second, private auctions open only to members of the conspiracy. The department said that the selected properties were then awarded to the conspirators who submitted the highest bids in the second, private auctions.
The majority of time spent in foreclosure courtrooms is not spent responding to motions or issues raised by defendants, rather the time in foreclosure courtrooms is spent with Plaintiffs trying to correct all the lies and the inaccuracies in their pleadings while courts and judges try to decide just how much wiggle room and flexibility they should grant to the Plaintiffs who have screwed their cases up so badly. In my estimation, courts are bending over far too much to apologize and ignore the mistakes and misdeeds of the banks that have created such chaos and damaged threatened the national security of these United States of America.
Kaye-Eddie and the now-defunct Loan Tech processed and submitted applications for FHA-insured mortgage loans that included false statements, including fraudulent rental agreements falsely stating, unbeknownst to the borrowers, that the borrowers were receiving rental income when they were not. Without the falsely documented rental income, the borrowers would not have qualified for FHA-insured loans. The homes were in the Eastern District of California in Sacramento, West Sacramento, and Williams, California. All but one of the loans have been delinquent at some point, and two of the homes have gone into foreclosure.

Vin Diesel Famous bald actor was born on July 18 1967. Vins real name is Mark Sinclair Vincent. Born in New York city and has Italian and African American ancestry and having never met his biological father was raised by his step father Irving an acting and theatre producer.
Vin diesel although having his stage debut at the age of seven (7) in a childrens play ' Dinosaur Door ' his first breakthrough was as a screen writer / director in the short film ' Multi Facial ' which was featured at the Cannes film festival in 1995.
Who do you think is the sexiest bald actor? Hmmmm…Vin Diesel and i dare say 99.9% of the female population will agree with me. Being bald added to the charisma of this multifaceted actor. Good looks combined with exceptional talent brought Diesel to the world of movies, film producing and directing.
Diesel's career didn't start that easy. He went thru financial problems as many actors do before their first big screen movie break.
A call to Vin from academy award winning director Steven Spielberg offering a role in " Saving Private Ryan", launched Vin Diesel's career as an actor.
Vin Diesel has given justice to all the characters he has portrayed and gave new image to a movie superhero and caught many movie fanatic's attention and as a matter of fact he is hugely followed internationally.
The bald star is very much in demand not only for his acting skills but for his off screen writing and directing. His career as " film director " will surely flourish.
Among his movies, my favourite is "The Chronicles of Riddick" an action flick that really brought me up my seats. "The Pacifier" is likely to be the second, portraying a tough guy with a soft heart, is a feel good movie. I know lots of films had that genre but no one does it quite like Diesel. "The Fast and The Furious" is simply awesome.
A good actor deserves recognition and in that Vin Diesel don't have much yet aside from a Blockbuster Award nomination but who knows in the future, with this type of high caliber actor, we might be surprise that he's on stage carrying a golden Oscar reciting his speech of gratitude.
And remember..Vin Dieselan actor that is strikingly bald !

Big 'Ole Changes In the Air
categories: Uncategorized
Hi pretties. I know last time I said I was back, but I obviously failed.
I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I think I know the direction in which I want to take this blog. This means I'm going to go into a tiny hibernation, get everything sorted out (including hopefully a new layout, new content pages, and basically a whole new lease on life). I'm also hopefully going to be coming back with a domain name.
I know that I'll lose some readers with my new blog focus. I don't want to reveal it yet, but it'll be different. Hopefully, it'll be interesting. I know I love it already, so I'm looking forward to sharing my enthusiasm with you. Check tomorrow for some more updates!
See you soon!
