The Goldman Sachs/Greg Smith Matter: Readers Respond
Former Wall Streeter LarryC2 added, "As someone who also went 'buddhist' from Wall Street some years ago, though from a less illustrious position than Smith's mind you, I agree...It's easier to be picky about the grey moral areas on Wall Street once you're set financially, especially if you're the type of person for whom some level of wealth is actually enough (for some there is no such level, God bless 'em). And the idea that GS tries to screw other people in the market as part of its basic culture, including its 'customers', is near the all-time top of no-sh*t-Sherlock 'revelations'."
Reader Dan Lee disagrees, writing that Smith did a brave thing. "I don't doubt that you aren't impressed. He did a brave thing but it wasn't fast enough for you, ergo, moral failure? If he had not reached the status he has his editorial would have been worthless. The knives have been sharpened for the retribution, which begins by undermining his character as part of the damage control."
J. Shindler also has Smith's back when it comes to putting a knife not just in his former employer Goldman's back but his own career: "This public message WILL cost Smith plenty. It was career suicide, and he may be sued to boot. For an ambitious person to speak up and thus become persona non grata within his industry definitely is a brave act."
Other readers were less interested in rating Smith's bravery on a scale of 1 to 10 and more interested in this question:

Fleiss Slams Tyson Prostitute Reports
LATEST: Former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss has slammed reports she plans to hire ex-boxer Mike Tyson as a prostitute in her male brothel.
Fleiss has bought 60 acres of land in Nevada and is in the early planning stages of building Heidi's Stud Farm.
British newspaper Daily Star reported last week (16NOV06) that Fleiss had asked the convicted rapist to work as a gigolo in the brothel once it opens.
However, Fleiss' publicist CHARLES LAGO tells the Las Vegas Review Journal the report is "a ridiculous hoax".
Former boxing champion MIKE TYSON is to become a male escort after agreeing to work at legendary Hollywood madam HEIDI FLEISS' new legalised brothel for women...

Logano staying upbeat in the Chase
Don't accuse Joey Logano of being a glass-is-half-empty kind of guy. Not that anyone could blame him for a little pessimism after the rough ride he's endured in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
Logano, who reached NASCAR's 10-race playoff this season for the first time in five seasons as a Sprint Cup Series driver, ranks 12th out of 13 championship-eligible drivers with six of 10 Chase races in the books.
With the Goody's Headache Relief Shot 500 at Martinsville Speedway up next on Sunday, Logano is 75 points behind leader Jimmie Johnson, and has been effectively though not yet mathematically eliminated from title contention. If there's any good news to be had for Logano, it's that he's just 23 points behind sixth-place Dale Earnhardt Jr., so there is definite room for improving his standing over the final four events.
In fact, Logano believes he can even break into the top five in points by the time the curtain falls on the 2013 season at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Nov. 17.
"Finishing fourth or fifth is still an achievable goal, and that's where I feel like we've set our goals to get up there and do that," Logano said Tuesday during a national teleconference. "We have four races, and Martinsville should be a good one for us. We had a test there a couple weeks ago and were able to learn some things to do and some things not to do, which are equally valuable, and we'll go out there and try to attack and get a solid finish out of there -- try to get a win and get a grandfather clock and gain some points and put ourselves up there."
IT ADDS UPWhere did your favorite driver finish in the 2013 final standings?
Logano entered September's "regular-season" finale at Richmond carrying considerable momentum after coming on strong over the summer months with several stout finishes highlighted by a win at Michigan in August. The Richmond race did not go well for Logano, however, as he struggled and only barely secured a Chase berth – under a cloud of controversy, to boot.
In the days after Richmond, in-race radio transmissions surfaced suggesting that Logano and his No. 22 Penske Racing team had brokered a deal with the No. 38 Front Row Motorsports team of David Gilliland to allow Logano to pass Gilliland in the closing laps. NASCAR placed both teams on probation through the end of the year but there were no fines or suspensions levied.
Logano's team didn't get off as easily, however, in April at Texas Motor Speedway where the cars of both Logano and Penske teammate Brad Keselowski failed pre-race inspection because of rear-suspension irregularities. The final result was a loss of 25 championship points for both teams, along with matching three-week suspensions and $100,000 fines for the two respective crew chiefs. The teams' respective car chiefs and chief engineers, along with Penske competition director Travis Geisler, also served three-week suspensions.
Logano, who has just two top-five finishes in six Chase outings, admits there continues to be somewhat of a lingering effect from the first penalty.
"It changes a little bit of what we do," he said. "We're very cautious about what we bring to the racetrack, as we should. I feel like we learned a lesson from that whole thing and we've moved on from there."
Logano, who failed to make the Chase in four seasons with Joe Gibbs Racing, has also gleaned a few things from his first-ever playoff appearance.
"I have learned a lot throughout this Chase already," said the 23-year-old Connecticut native. "For one, I know it's really hard to make up points when you have a bad race, because these guys running for the championship that are first, second, third and fourth right now. They don't have any bad races.
"They've been really ripping it through this whole Chase, so it's hard to make up on those guys when you have an engine failure or you have a bad race. It's hard to recover, so those little mistakes and where we need to fine-tune is where we need to be better to be that championship-winning team, but we're not far from it right now."
Even though Logano would like to be in a better position points-wise, the disappointment he has felt in the Chase doesn't taint his whole season.

"We had a lot of really good finishes leading into the Chase and that's why we got in the Chase, but I also feel like we've still had a lot of good speed," he said. "We haven't fallen on our faces; we just haven't had the best finishes that we need. … I don't see anything bittersweet about this year. I think it's been a decent year."
And a year from which he believes his team can grow and improve.
"We haven't been as consistent we need to be, and that's why we're not contending to where we want to be right now," Logano said. "We've had runs that we've had that consistency, where we can go six or seven races with straight top-10 finishes or top-five finishes, but then we have the next race that's a total blow-up.
"We either crash or blow up or do something like that, so we've got to be able to find a way to eliminate those mistakes that we have."

It seems as though Erica and I are going to have a trainer in our venture in the weight loss world. Her friend Brian has offered to train us in strengthening and other areas. I hope it goes well and I hope I LISTEN well. Loosing weight if very important to me. If I accomplish it then maybe I can help people in my family learn how to do the same. Being healthy is something we could all learn more about in our lives. The world makes it hard to live healthy, this I know, but we all have to lean on God for strength to ignore the world and take care of ourselves!

At the beginning of every NFL season the reset button is hit for the 32 franchises, and each team restarts, sporting a 0-0 record and invigorated with the hopes of winning a world championship. While some franchises are striving to reverse recent misfortunes, others are fighting to keep their foothold at the top of the heap. We recently had the opportunity to talk with Charles Way, Director of Player Development for the New York Giants, about a number of topics, but when asked about turnarounds, his response was succinct and focused on values and delivery.
Charles Way was drafted in the sixth round of the 1995 NFL draft by the New York Giants. A University of Virginia graduate, Way earned a degree in civil engineering and a reputation as a classy hard worker. A driven and passionate player, Way saw his ups and downs playing for the Giants from 1995 to 1999, and was eventually sidelined by career ending knee issues. During his time as a player, Way was part of some struggling teams, and one division championship. After he finished up as a player, he traded in his pads for the intriguing role of supporting players off the field. As the Director of Player Development for the Giants, Way considers his role to be something like a consultant, objectively observing and offering insight when asked or needed. He's officially a liaison between players and coaches, but says to the players, "All I'm here to do is be your mirror." He wants to see the team and its parts succeed, and to do so he's honest and forthright with what's working and what isn't.

Songs Every Man Should Listen To
With Spotify and satellite radio and Pandora, we all live in a musical ghetto of our own making. Herewith, an opportunity to break out, with
your beautiful hostess Nina Agdal (more photos here, by the way), plus Tom Junod on collecting in the digital age, the day the music died (for one man), and how to make a playlist. Also: Gary Clark Jr. and other musicians show you how to dress.
PLUS: Listen to the Playlist on Esquire Spotify >>

"The Walker," Fitz and the Tantrums
On this R&B-laced sing-along, the stanky twenty-two-second horn breakdown sounds like an outtake from Check Your Head or Ill Communication.

Bainbridge Island park in the running for 'Best Public Gardens'
The Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island has been nominated in USA Today's 10 Best Public Gardens competition.
The only public garden in Washington state to make the list of 20 North American gardens nominated, Bloedel sits on 150 acres and includes a Japanese Garden, Moss Garden and Reflection Pool.
Voting is now through the end of March (hint, vote on all your devices to really give Bloedel a push!) Afterall, it's only right that the Evergreen State win the Best Garden award right? Don't worry, I already checked - no gardens from the actual Garden State (New Jersey) are in the running.
More to Explore
last I heard, cheating was wrong. If enough people love it, they'll vote and it won't need the "extra push"
@chandler  Ah! So sorry we weren't clear: the rules specifically call out that you can vote from all your devices! As much as we'd like Bloedel to win...we'd never condone cheating.Â

Veggie_Vixen:All About The New You
After having alot of different aches and pains rise, I started to look inward and discovered that I really do not have to have a mostly meat filled diet. Would I feel better after eating one less meat filled dinner per week? Let's see where it gets us.

Hey Everybody. Happy Canada Day. How has the weekend gone so far? Pricey or Frugal?
I worked Sat and Sunday and some of today actaully. I bought a few groceries but that was it. It has been hot so we have been walking in the mornings. We hope to hit the pool tomorrow and that will be an unexpected expense but we will bring our own snacks. I need more groceries for next week and likely more beer, it is hot!
The roof loan will go down another 1040 approx before the store is sold. I don't plan to put extra on it. I want to see how things shake out. I know it will take awhile to see what is what. 9 more weeks!
We have some farm equipment that may need replacing soon. It is stressing me out. The berries are shaping up nicely. I hope we get some rain!
I have been making lots of fresh salads and bbqing my brains out! Love it! Feeling good!
|Thu, 07-04-2013 - 10:56am
It is the headache of it in some respects. I think it is just time to do something different.
I hope to get some equity coming my way for a down payment to make one of our dreams come true and to build a new house on our property.
I am a girl, I am not a mechanic and dealing with the freezers and coolers that break and my gas tank bowser issues have the been the biggest challenges and expense.
Despite all of the headaches I am quite good at what I do lol and the store does well. I am looking forward to a job that I can leave at work if you know what I mean with the possibility of benefits, holidays and weekends. That would be pretty sweet!
I will miss the people for sure and of course no job is with out problems and challenges. I will have to take orders from someone else, for which I am not used to as of late lol! That will probably be the biggest thing. I also realize I might not find my ideal job rigth away and may have to go through a few to find something that fits.
So we will see what happens and of course I will keep you all posted!!
|Wed, 07-03-2013 - 1:40pm
Karen, I missed why you would sell the store and then look for a job? Just the headache of it all??
I had a tiny splurge this weekend - $36 for two shirts I can wear to work.
|Wed, 07-03-2013 - 10:38am
I don' tknow anything really. It will take months to shake out. I don't know if I will have money left over and I don't know what I will be doing after. I will look for a job for sure. I will need one eventually and there is just nothing here right now. I hope that changes!
Glad you got away for a couple of days. Love your retirement!!!! Good for you. I am awaiting the day you pay off your mortgage. I hope to heck you buy you and DH a great Christmas present!
|Tue, 07-02-2013 - 11:48am
Hi Galstore...I think I missed your posts talking about selling your store...congrats & I hope you make a nice profit from all of your hard work! Will you find a job or be able to stay home when it is sold? You might need a new name when you no long have a store : ) We are doing well, enjoying the summer & taking a vacay day to turn my 4th of July into a 4 day weekend. Can't wait for some rest, relaxation & play. We are also looking forward to a 3 night trip to Wendover in August...we got the flight & motel for free so will just need some play money. We didn't plan any vacays this year so just a few short trips to rejuvenate. My DH & I love Wendover...so relaxing! We are counting down our mortgage paying an extra $ 100 this week. Every little bit helps! EF is at $11,500 & retirement is at $385,000...trying to add a bit each week to the EF. Have a good & frugal week everyone.

The mid-range, pull-up jump shot seems to be a dying art these days.
For Barton Community College guard Al Key, it's his bread-and-butter.
Key and Cougars teammate Andell Cumberbatch combined for 54 points, scoring 27 apiece, as 19th-ranked Barton picked apart winless Jayhawk West foe Colby 92-65 on Wednesday night at Kirkman Activity Center/LT & Sheila Fleske Court.
"No question, it is a lost art," said Barton head coach Craig Fletchall, whose team improved to 17-3 overall, 4-2 in conference play. "As the year's pass, the pull-up jump shot has become almost obsolete.

Do you know anyone who celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving this past weekend?
What are you up to this week?
|Sat, 10-13-2012 - 7:40pm
Our week will hopefully be less busy, 1 soccer game, 2 practice days. DS#2' s team is going to a soccer tournament next weekend so I'm hoping the weather will be nice. It was cold and wet and miserable today.

What's your name? Rhae
Tell us a bit about your family. Three boys: Monkey, 5; Monster, 2: and Mayhem, 9 mos; and the Man.
Do you know anyone who celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving this past weekend? We did, of course! Lots of turkey and pie. Yum, yum.
What are you up to this week? Not a whole lot of exciting for us. Just getting back to routine after a holiday weekend, and I need to catch up on chores after being so depressed last week that I couldn't function. We went to play school this morning and will go again on Thursday. I need to do some shopping for things like eggs, milk, and cheese, which I guess I'll do on Thursday afternoon. I'm going to clean out the fridge on Wednesday. Scary, scary!

Behind the Scenes at a Debate Social Media War Room: News Video
At Ignite Social Media, we don't work with politicians. But we do regularly work with large brands, filtering through thousands of mentions to figure out the important parts of the online conversation.
That's why ten members of our team (five in North Carolina and five in Michigan, connected via streaming video) worked throughout the night to develop our infographic analyzing the social media reaction to the 2012 Vice Presidential debate.
NBC-17 News found our infographic on the first presidential debate so interesting, that they came to watch how we do it.
Check out the video below for a behind-the-scenes look at what a social media monitoring war room looks like, this one analyzing in real time the Joe Biden/Paul Ryan debate:

Many Americans have died while Prince of Peace Nobel Laureate Commissar Barack Hussein Obama has fiddled, but rest assured he has finally made some form of decision and now has found the time to visit with the American public next Tuesday (American lives not apparently being a priority) about his plans to send more troops and his preconceived notion of how he will get us out of there regardless of the ultimate consequences. It's a plan that we suspect even the former failed U.S. Senator from Nebraska, Chuckie (I have an extended case of post-traumatic-stress syndrome) Hagel will be unlikely to support.
We just hope, and now we sound like Hagel, that this isn't a plan that just makes Americans soldiers pawns on a chess board until we can 'find and create' an excuse to get out.....

More Troops To Afghanistan And A Plan To Get Out
Posted by Objective Conservative at 7:24 AM
Labels: Afghanistan, Chuck Hagel, Obama
1 comment:
Yes many Americans have died in our wars of conquest, not to mention millions of innocent foreigners killed, maimed, and displaced. Their blood is on our hands. The American empire is a murderous beast, a pox on the world. We must stop this madness before we destroy ourselves. All Americans out of Afghanistan and Iraq now!

The judge in the 26/11 trial court, M.L. Tahaliyani, reprimanded the Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab's lawyer, Abbas Kazmi, for making "irresponsible" statements and asked him to explain why his services could not be terminated for "misconduct".
The 26/11 trial hearing came to a sudden halt on the day of the first anniversary of the attacks, when the special sessions court accused Abbas Kazmi, lawyer of Mohammad Ajmal Amir 'Kasab,' of being "a liar" in a matter pertaining to the filing of affidavits.
The court took a very serious view of Mr. Kazmi's denial that special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam had said anything about filing the affidavits of witnesses. Adjourning the proceedings, special sessions judge M.L. Tahaliyani said he would give his verdict on whether Mr. Kazmi could continue as Ajmal's lawyer in the case.
"What's very serious for me today is that he has lied. I don't think an advocate who has told a lie should be allowed to continue. It's more than crystal clear that Kazmi made a false statement. Kazmi has no objection if the court withdraws his appointment…The court is fully aware that [Mr. Nikam] has on many occasions stated in my presence and in the presence of my staff and the media that he intended to file affidavits of witnesses, whose evidence is formal in nature. He has been repeatedly saying that for the last eight to ten days. I remember and I am sure Kazmi was present in court," the court observed.
Mr. Kazmi also demanded that the prosecution move a written application about the filing of affidavits. An argument ensued, wherein the court pointed out to him that copies of affidavits were given in advance and if he wanted a written application, he should have returned the copies.
Mr. Tahaliyani noted: "The court wanted to know how many witnesses he [Kazmi] wanted to call for cross-examination. Kazmi was totally non-cooperative and not ready to make any statement in the regard…He was consistently evasive. The court is [unable to understand] why this attitude was adopted by Kazmi."
When the court sought Mr. Nikam's stand in the matter, the special prosecutor said that if Mr. Kazmi tendered an apology, the court might consider it.
Outside the court, Mr. Kazmi refused to comment. "Do you think Abbas Kazmi will apologise?" he said. "I am going to speak about what I think is just and fair," he later told The Hindu over telephone.
Citing the three options before him, Mr. Tahaliyani said he might ask Mr. Kazmi to continue or appoint a new lawyer for 'Kasab' or appoint Mr. Kazmi's assistant K.P. Pawar to represent 'Kasab.'
On April 15, the first day of the trial, the court revoked the appointment of advocate Anjali Waghmare as Ajmal's defence lawyer. The fresh complication has foiled the prosecution's plans to wind up the examination of witnesses from its side.
Italian connection
Following the arrest of two Pakistani nationals in Italy in connection with the case, the Mumbai police now want to seek information from Italian authorities about a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) payment. They also want to confirm the identities of Mohammad Ishfaq and Javid Iqbal ,who used the Western Union Money Transfer to pay for the VoIP account used by the 26/11 terrorists. The police would be submitting a Letter Rogatory before a magistrate's court.

Having real fun with this one lol ...
Got a PC with a standard build we use across the site.
Staff want to play a DVD on this PC, but the sound is constantly crackling on this particular DVD.
I thought it could be the DVD disc itself, but it plays no problem in other PC's (again, with the same build, hardware etc) ... so that rules out the disc itself. Also tried another DVD written with the same software, and the same make of disc, and that works fine.
Any suggestions ?
Tried methods ...
Uninstall the IDE Channels from Dev Manager, and checked they're set to DMA.
Uninstalled/reinstalled audio drivers
Tried codec packs ... even though on other PC's that don't have the codec packs, this DVD works fine.
Tried using PowerDVD and VLC (aswell as Windows Media Player).
Tried another audio port on the PC.
... all of the above have made no difference what-so-ever.
Even tried plugging my phone into the speakers, and that played fine.

Bowling Green, OH (Sports Network) - Justin Greene posted a double-double consisting of 12 points and a game-high 14 rebounds as the Kent State Golden Flashes recorded a 63-57 win over the Bowling Green Falcons in Mid-American Conference play at Anderson Arena.
Also scoring in double figures for the Golden Flashes (20-10, 11-4 MAC) were Rodriquez Sherman and Michael Porrini with 13 points apiece, the latter handing out nine assists, while Randal Holt tacked on 11 points and six assists of his own in the team's third win in the last four outings.
As for the Falcons (12-18, 7-8), they were paced by A'uston Calhoun who tallied a game-high 15 points, while Jordon Crawford added 13 points and six assists in their sixth consecutive loss.
Bowling Green led by three points early in the first half, but the hosts ended up shooting just 8-of-25 from the floor, including 1-of-7 beyond the arc, in the first half which left the Falcons with a 23-17 deficit at the break.
In the second half the accuracy picked up for BGSU at 48.3 percent from the field, but at the same time KSU connected on a sizzling 66.7 percent from the floor in order to secure the six-point win.
In a game that saw six ties and just as many lead changes, Bowling Green hurt itself with just 2-of-12 shooting behind the three-point line and a total of 14 turnovers in the night.
With the victory Kent State secured a first round MAC Tournament bye and clinched a 20-win season for the 12th time in the last 13 years.

Few if any jazz-fusion drummers have been more influential than Billy Cobham, along with his modern jazz drumming for legends such as Freddie Hubbard, McCoy Tyner and other notables. Yet touring has its trials and tribulations, noted in the album liners on this previously unissued 2-CD set, presenting live material from the drummer's 1997 show at the Compass Point Hotel in the Bahamas. With impending storms on the horizon and the only piano tuner in the vicinity not showing up because he had just won the lottery, the quartet had a few pins and needles to dodge, but pulled it ...read more
Donald Harrison, Ron Carter & Billy Cobham TrioBlue NoteNew York, NYJanuary 8, 2013All-Star groupings are often dreamed up by promoters looking to capitalize on one-off, big name combinations that never really have the opportunity to gel; that's not the case with saxophonist Donald Harrison, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Billy Cobham's trio. A New Orleans modernist who comes from the university of drummer Art Blakey, jazz's preeminent acoustic bassist and a fusion kingpin may seem like an odd fit on paper, but paper doesn't play jazz, people do. These three highly regarded ...read more
The universe is engaged in a miraculous rhythm that is the ultimate timekeeper. Due to his pivotal role in an important new documentary film, Billy Cobham, a master timekeeper himself, is now more aware of this than he has ever been.
Early in Cobham's career he played with Horace Silver, Miles Davis and in the pre-fusion band Dreams. But he is best-known as the propulsive drummer of the genre- twisting Mahavishnu Orchestra, who ruled the jazz-rock world and even made some of the pop charts over thirty-five years ago. The band's music is currently undergoing a ...read more

Billy Cobham and The Art of 5 Jazz Alley; Seattle March 6th, 2003
I came to Billy Cobham not through Mahavishnu, but through video footage of him playing with Horace Silver's group in the late 60s. Initially I mistook him for Roger Humphries, who of course had appeared on some of Silver's well-known albums during that decade. I was later corrected by a friend of mine, who not only told me that it was indeed Cobham, but that he "swung his ass off." This comment was delivered with a mix of reverence and surprise, as if ...read more
The Good Book of fusion drumming, culled from a half-dozen years in the life of Billy Cobham. After serving in drum corps, the High School of Music and Arts, and the Army band, as well as gigging and recording with Kenny Burrell, George Benson and Junior Mance, Panamanian native Cobham was finally recommended by Jack DeJohnette to Miles Davis in 1969. Things took off like a bullet from there, and soon enough Cobham was firmly established as the Hot New Thing in jazz-rock drumming. He was also noted as a talented composer at the time.

Loud and Proud.
Rudiments: the Billy Cobham Anthology is a representative collection of songs associated with drummer-composer-bandleader-producer Billy Cobham assembled from the highlights of eight Atlantic releases between 1973 and 1978. This was a particularly fruitful time for Cobham that saw the percussionist recording with the likes of the late Tommy Bolin, Jan Hammer, George Duke, Michael and Randy Brecker, John Scofield, Cornell Dupree, and John Abercrombie. The songs are taken from: Spectrum (Atlantic 7268, 1973)Crosswinds (Atlantic 7300, 1974) Total Eclipse (Atlantic 18121, 1974) Shabazz (Atlantic 18139, 1975) A Funky Thide of Sings (Atlantic 18149, 1975) Life and Times (Atlantic ...read more
