1 Talk to people who are into mobile reading devices like the Kindle and the iPad, and a scene from the movie Minority Report tends to come up. Tom Cruise, who is on the run from the law, is on a train. Next to him, a man reads USA Today on what looks and acts like broadsheet paper but is clearly digital film of some sort, with animated graphics and flashing news updates. Suddenly, a photo of Cruise pops up on the man's (and everyone else's) gadget, along with an announcement that he is wanted for murder.
It's a bummer for Cruise, but that screen makes techies swoon: paper-thin, it has the slight gloss of a laminate but otherwise looks like typical newsprint, though it is clearly connected to some ultrafast wireless network and can instantly access the limitless information of the future Internet. You get the impression that, after Cruise fled the train, the man folded up that screen, shoved it into his briefcase, and took it out later to find USA Today (or the publication of his choice) waiting with a fresh batch of articles. Alas, no such product actually exists . . . yet. But it's closer than you may think. Steven Spielberg and crew developed the idea based on input from E-Ink, a manufacturer of so-called electronic paper based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which The Boston Globe last year called the "hottest technology company" in the Boston area.
Hollywood has long been something of a bellwether for advanced technologies, and that is certainly the case here. In April, I called Sri Peruvemba, E-Ink's marketing director. The company was involved in one of the most conspicuous recent examples of journalism's pursuit of this digital Holy Grail: an electronic-paper cover that Esquire magazine used on its seventy-fifth anniversary issue in September 2008. Peruvemba directed me to a YouTube video of critics from Gizmodo, Gawker Media's popular gadget site, trying to "hack" it. "Wait until they get the knives," Peruvemba chirped, after I noted the cover's impressive resistance to the hackers' attempts to tear it apart by hand and light it on fire.
Rugged, shatterproof screens will be a key feature of future e-readers, but overall, Gizmodo was lukewarm about Esquire's experiment: "This is really slick in some ways—as far as attention goes—but the bigger thing it shows is the terrible lack of understanding that most magazine editors have in dealing with the digital future of their publications." That's probably true. The New York Times reported that Esquire made a six-figure investment to develop the battery alone—hardly a sustainable model for the industry, even if Ford did buy an ad, executed on e-paper, on the inside cover.
But it's not just the battery; it's the gimmicky, one-off approach. Media outlets are still having a tough time seeing beyond their own dwindling print runs, and it was only three years ago that electronic paper helped incite what has been called the "e-reading revolution." It's not much of a revolution yet, but what is increasingly apparent is that mobile devices have the potential to offer the journalism business that rare and beautiful thing: a second chance—another shot at monetizing digital content and ensuring future profitability that was missed during the advent of Web 1.0.
I use the word "potential" because there are many ifs and unknowns undergirding this notion of a second chance. But I use it also because so much of the hype about how e-readers could save journalism that has poured forth since the release of the iPad in April (actually, such articles have been appearing since the launch of the Kindle in 2007), ignores—or fails to grasp—what's really going on. Proponents of the revolution believe that a richly designed and robust mobile reader will be a boon to digital subscriptions, and more importantly to advertising, in a way, and at a rate, that the Web has not. What this theory hinges on, though—and what the hype has tended to overlook—is the need for the media companies that create news and other editorial content to reclaim control over the channels of delivery for that content—the kind of control they had when the printing press was still at the center of our information universe.

Our two and three year olds were focusing on the shape of a circle this week and one of their activities was to make a circle collage!
Each of the children were given a round paper plate because of its circular shape to use as the canvas for their circle collage.
The teacher had precut circles from a variety of materials including newspaper, tissue paper, and construction paper.
The children selected circles from the table, added a little glue and attached their circles to their paper plate.
Some of the children spread their circles out around the paper plate but other children preferred to stack their circles one on top of another.
The children enjoyed this simple process. I heard lots of talking and saw lots of gluing going on. As you are coming up with ideas for your young children, don't overlook the simple ideas. Young children need time to explore the materials and create freely. I could see that the children were very relaxed as they made their circle collages.

Difference between Automobile Battery and Inverter Battery
Many People inquire me about Using Automobile Battery in Invertors, even some technicians in the Inverter field are also not too clear about this issue. So, I want to write a post about this issue and clarify the doubt of newbies and some professionals.
Normally in inverter field, many Battery power store owners are selling automobile batteries for inverters. They are not aware of the properties of automobiles batteries. Actually the automobile batteries have more number of lead plates to facilitate quick and large amount of power output during engine starting. They give large amount of power for few seconds to start the engine, not continuously, Whereas the Inverter batteries give steady power output for long time.
Deep Cycle Batteries:
The inverter batteries are normally called deep cycle batteries. The battery plates in such type batteries won't get damaged even in deep discharge condition. But the automobile battery is quite different from deep cycle batteries, if an automobile battery is discharged deeply, then definitely it will damage the lead plates and reduce the battery life
Conclusion: Using automobile battery in inverter application is not recommended .

Screwing up a national anthem is pretty embarrassing business. Not only are you singing a song, you're singing it in front of thousands of people AND you're doing it wrong. Not to mention in the 21st Century you are immediately posted to the internet for years of ridicule and appearances on top 10 lists.
This is one of those posts.
You were all here a little earlier this week when the Buffalo Sabres were privy to their anthem singer botching the Canadian anthem in odd fashion before their game against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Missed that? REALLY? Ok, you win, here it is.
What we learned on Saturday is that this may actually be a Buffalo problem as they traveled to Ottawa to take on the Senators. Lo and behold when it came time for the French portion of Canada's favorite song our lovely lady behind the mic not only forgot the words, but opted for that awkward humming noise you make when you want to sing a song but kinda forget the words and still want to hold the rhythm most likely while inebriated. Luckily the fans bailed her out.
Don't know what I mean? Here's what I mean.
After you collect yourselves and get back off the floor and on to your chairs, which one of these is worse?
Additionally, what's the worst anthem screw up you've ever heard?

A ring of rice encircles the Caviar roll's morsels of yellowtail tuna, smoked salmon, avocado, and cream cheese. The roll's exterior is just as complex, with its delicate crust of masago, tempura flakes, and eel sauce. Sushi chefs assemble hearty sushi rolls such as this at the spacious wooden sushi bar, which curves and twists its way from the front to the back of the dining room. Sushi is the focal point of both the dining room and the menu itself—chefs slice 80 different rolls, ranging from traditional crab and avocado to exotic flourishes such as squid and kiwi. To enhance their sushi selections, diners can consult the sake menu, or fold it into a paper plane and drink whatever beverage it lands on.
A finalist for Best Sushi according to a 2012 City Voter poll, Osaka Sushi & Japanese Cuisine fills their menu with one-of-a-kind combinations. Their chefs roll out more than 50 types of maki, from basic unagi rolls to elaborate specialty rolls, such as the eponymous Osaka roll filled with spicy crab, fried shrimp, and avocado then topped with steamed shrimp and mozzarella, all served on a flaming dish. Nigiri and sashimi present fresh flavors without a protective wall of rice. The aloha roll trades savory flavors for sweets with a core of deep-fried ice cream hidden beneath strawberries and mangoes.
Chefs in tall blue toques command Mikato Steak and Sushi's ten tabletop grills, where they combine culinary derring-do with entertaining showmanship while frying rice with steak, seafood, and vegetables. The main kitchen bustles with activity, as well; chicken katsu joins other Japanese cuisine such as broiled eel and shrimp teriyaki, and sushi chefs slice sashimi and coil specialty rolls. In addition to sating hunger of all stripes, Mikato Steak and Sushi welcomes families with a children's menu and kids' birthday special, which includes ice cream, a Japanese rendition of happy birthday, and a senryu about the transitory nature of life.
Head chefs Shawn and Henry Shin—who has been a chef since he was 19—curate Wasabiya Japanese Cuisine's menu of traditional and contemporary Japanese food including more than 65 sushi rolls. Whether classically prepared, partially fried, or oven baked, each roll follows an inventive recipe. The New Orleans packs spicy crawfish and cucumber, and the Kentucky Derby unites spicy crab, shrimp, scallop, and cream sauce while 165,000 people watch you eat it. Wasabiya's staff rounds out the menu with cooked entrees such steak sukiyaki and shrimp and vegetables battered in a light layer of tempura crunch.
A sake pub, Maido is a slang word commonly used in Osaka, Japan. The literal translation is "every time", but it has evolved to be used as a common greeting between businessmen and now means something more like "I look forward to doing business with you again," or "thank you for giving me all of your money." However one deciphers the sentiment, the food at Maido Sake Bar speaks for itself. The expansive menu revolves around a large selection of maki and small plates intended for sharing. Bento boxes and udon noodle dishes round out the menu options and sate those in search of a warm dinner.
Skilled sushi chefs handcraft blossoms of pickled ginger and sashimi to pair with dollops of wasabi and delicate butterfly garnishes. Behind the glass cases at the sushi bar, they forge signature rolls such as the chef's favorite Lobster Paradise roll with mango, kiwi, and tempura lobster tail. Along with sushi, the chefs prepare pho, Vietnamese noodle dishes, and teriyaki chicken. For offsite dining, the restaurant offers carry-out, delivery, and catering services for business meetings, parties, and lunchtime stakeouts.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Frankie, a Reisterstown Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Reisterstown, or seeking a Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Reisterstown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Reisterstown already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Reisterstown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Reisterstown paves the way for another one to be saved.

Dozens Likely Implicated In UBS Libor Deal (FT)
bout three dozen bankers and senior managers will be implicated in the alleged rigging of Libor interest rates when UBS settles with global regulators later this week, according to people familiar with the matter. UBS is close to finalizing a deal with UK, US and Swiss authorities in which the bank will pay close to $1.5 billion and its Japanese securities subsidiary will plead guilty to a US criminal offence. Terms of the guilty plea were still being negotiated, one person familiar with the matter said on Monday, adding that the bank will not lose its ability to conduct business in Japan…Not all of the three dozen individuals will face criminal or civil charges and the level of alleged misconduct varies among them. While it also is not clear how many bankers will be criminally charged, people familiar with the investigation said the settlement documents will document an intercontinental scheme to manipulate the Yen-Libor interest rate over several years involving desks from Tokyo to London.
Cerberus Seeks Sale of Gun Maker Freedom Group (WSJ)
Private-equity firm Cerberus Capital Management LP said it is seeking to sell the company that manufactures a gun used in last week's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. "We have determined to immediately engage in a formal process to sell our investment in Freedom Group…We believe that this decision allows us to meet our obligations to the investors whose interests we are entrusted to protect without being drawn into the national debate that is more properly pursued by those with the formal charter and public responsibility to do so," Cerberus said in a statement Tuesday.
Cliff Talks Narrow (WSJ)
President Barack Obama backed away from his long-standing call for raising tax rates on households making more than $250,000 a year, a development that inches the White House and congressional Republicans closer to a budget deal. Mr. Obama's move, a counter to Republicans' recent proposal to raise tax rates on income over $1 million, further narrows the differences between the two sides. During a meeting with House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) Monday the president proposed allowing Bush-era tax rates to expire for households making more than $400,000 in annual income, people familiar with the meeting said.
Poland Finds It's Not Immune To Euro Crisis (NYT)
During much of the region's debt crisis so far, Poland has counted itself fortunate that the troubles began before the country had joined the euro currency union. By being part of the E.U.'s common market, but not bound by euro strictures, Poland has been one of the Continent's rare economic good-news stories. But the deceleration in Polish growth, which has prompted the central bank to begin a series of interest rate cuts to stimulate the economy, has underscored the country's exposure to slumping euro zone consumer markets.
Hedge Fund Managers Convicted of Insider-Trading Scheme (Bloomberg)
Level Global Investors LP co-founder Anthony Chiasson and former Diamondback Capital Management LLC portfolio manager Todd Newman were convicted of securities fraud and conspiracy for an insider-trading scheme that reaped more than $72 million. After deliberating a little more than two days, a federal jury in New York found both men guilty of conspiracy to commit securities fraud for a scheme to trade on Dell Inc. (DELL) and Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) using illicit tips. The panel found Chiasson, 39, guilty of five counts of securities fraud, earning Level Global $68.5 million on inside tips trading on the two technology company stocks. Newman, 48, was convicted of four counts of securities fraud related to trades on inside information that earned his fund about $3.8 million. "We had all the evidence we needed," said Felicia Rivera, a juror from Westchester County near New York City, said after court.
Credit unions sue JPM for $3.6B (NYP)
The nation's credit-union watchdog sued JPMorgan for a second time yesterday over $3.6 billion of Bear Stearns mortgage bonds that imploded in the wake of the financial crisis. The suit brought by the National Credit Union Administration accuses Bear Stearns, the failed bank acquired by JPMorgan in 2008, of peddling toxic securities to four credit unions that later collapsed. The same government agency sued JPMorgan last year over $1.4 billion in mortgage-backed securities that led to losses for credit unions. That suit is still pending. In the latest complaint, the credit union regulator said Bear Stearns conspired with at least 16 outfits that cranked out toxic mortgages and securities sold to unsuspecting buyers. Those included notorious subprime mortgage outfits such as Countrywide Financial, New Century and People's Choice Home Loans.
Man wears 70 items of clothing at airport to avoid baggage charge (DS)
A man took to putting on 70 items of clothing to avoid an extra baggage charge at an airport. The unidentified passenger turned up at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport in China, described as looking like a 'sumo wrestler'. According to Guangzhou Daily, the man's luggage exceeded the weight limit. He did not want to pay the extra baggage costs, and thus took out and wore more than 60 shirts and nine pairs of jeans. Wanting to board a flight to Nairobi, Kenya, he was stopped by the metal detector and had to undergo a full body search.
AIG Raises $6.45 Billion as AIA Priced in Top Half of Range (Bloomberg)
AIG sold 1.65 billion shares at HK$30.30 each, AIA said in a statement today. The shares were offered at HK$29.65 to HK$30.65 each. AIA fell 3.3 percent to close at HK$30.60 in Hong Kong, the most since July 23. It was the biggest decliner and most actively traded stock by both volume and value in the city's benchmark Hang Seng Index (HSI) with HK$56.6 billion ($7.3 billion) worth of shares changing hands today.
Probe Sparks Split On Trades (WSJ)
A regulatory investigation into whether stock exchanges have given unfair advantages to high-speed traders has sparked complaints against the exchanges, fueling a broader debate about how the market operates and is regulated. The Investment Company Institute, trade group for mutual funds, complained in a recent letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission that U.S. stock exchanges "facilitate strategies" for rapid-fire trading firms "that can lead to disorderly markets or that can benefit market participants at the expense of long-term investors."
Buybacks Rule The Day (WSJ)
American companies bought back $274 billion more shares than they issued in the year through September, according to Ed Yardeni, president of investment advisory firm Yardeni Research. And the spending spree looks set to continue, a sign that companies have the cash to put to work but don't yet see an economic case for using it to expand their businesses or create jobs.
Dog swallows a foot of Christmas lights (Mirror)
Charlie, a seven-year-old crossbreed dog from Southampton, was saved by surgeons from veterinary charity PDSA after wolfing down his family's Christmas lights recently. And the dog has a track record for getting his paws, and teeth, on household objects, having once eaten his owner Sharon Fay's scarf. Ms Fay, who aptly refers to her dog as the "light of her life", became concerned when she noticed bits of wire sticking out of Charlie's faeces in the garden. The 45-year-old said: "I hadn't even noticed that the lights had been chewed at this stage but it quickly became clear what had happened. "Back in March he ate one of my scarves and needed an operation to remove it, but I thought it was just a one-off incident as he hadn't shown any signs that he was going to be a repeat offender. I've had dogs all my life and have never known a dog act like this before." An X-ray immediately cast a light on Charlie's problem – the tangled remains of the decorations clearly showed up in his stomach and would have proved fatal if they were not removed. Vets rushed Charlie to the operating table and removed the Christmas decorations, also finding a shoelace.

Thought this story just had more to it than sumo clothing guy.
The article focuses on the number of clothing items he wore (including nine pairs of jeans). It should have asked why the guy owns nine pairs of jeans in the first place.
-Trader who recommends this guy give a pair of jeans to someone who truly needs them – that is if he can spare it.
I couldnt think of a worse time to sell a gun company. Investors best interests are higher MOIC/IRRs; the debate about gun laws just didnt start last week.
And why, WHY for the love of all that is holy is he taking all nine to Nairobi?
Also, I think he needs to buy his Matryoshka jeans a little more true-to-size.
-Dude thinking three pairs simultaneously would be iffy -
This definitely feels like a Shazar opening bell.
Maybe they felt like owning the product that just killed 20 kids isn't the best PR right now?
People's Choice Home Loans, because its YOUR choice! Us!….. Or a Nigerian payday loan!….
See you at the closing….
I love how even Feinberg's press release statements ramble such that they require elipses when quoted in the press.
Same people that decided to name their PR firm Cerberus are PR-conscious all of a sudden?
When officers asked the individual to take off the first layer of clothing they realized that it was, in fact, just Maria Baritoromo in Under Armour cold gear and waved her through.
should have said PE firm, apologies everyone
So we're going lower ?
don't worry, who is going to buy it?
He would have been significantly better off with one pair of Bonobo's and an Amex Platinum Card which pays for baggage fees.
Old trick. Wonder if he tried the armadillo in his trousers?

are you by any chance N'08 younger brother?
And why Nairobi
You're short on ears. Long on mouth.
You'd be surprised.
"A man took to putting on 70 items of clothing to avoid an extra baggage charge at an airport."
I swear it wasn't me.
I apologize if my typo reflects me showing indifference to and disrespect of PR firms I never intended that.

Yeah, metal detecters don't pick up armadillos. Tin foil-wrapped zucchini are not TSA approved.
You're a fucking idiot.
I'd stay away from these here parts then.

That's just the hen house… you should see their broiler room.
A foot of Xmas lights?
One of our crude oil guys just opened up a Christmas card that had a dick drawn on the inside of it!
We may want to move some of our lines there. China is getting too expensive. Do they work the weekends though?
That's usually sent as a precursor to a wells notice.
Serious question, you think these scapegoats have any voice in the plea bargaining whatsoever? Or is senior management really negotiating the sentences of 36 people??? Should make for an interesting exit interview.
-Not an Attorney, but Contemplating Taking Side Bets on their Appeal Success
Yes sir, I thought it was strange that I got the comission to design the space as well. Purpose built though, wouldn't you say?

Ron Burgundy: Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it Freedom Group, which of course in German means a whale's vagina.
Veronica Corningstone: No, there's no way that's correct.
Ron Burgundy: I'm sorry, I was trying to impress you. I don't know what it means. I'll be honest, I don't think anyone knows what it means anymore. Scholars maintain that the translation was lost hundreds of years ago.
Veronica Corningstone: Doesn't it mean Freedom Group?
Ron Burgundy: No. No.
Veronica Corningstone: No, that's – that's what it means. Really.
Ron Burgundy: Agree to disagree. -
Do they even have to actually sell it to get good PR? I mean, if they can't get an appropriate price I assume they won't just offload it anyways, and just by saying they're looking to sell they get the WSJ to write about them in a positive light. To me it looks like mission accomplished, by the time they decide it's not prudent to sell now people will have forgotten about them.

You're a virgin idiot.

There was a NYT article on this. These guys are traders in the most basic sense. Come to NYC on a tourist visa, buy unbrellas for $2 sell for $5, live in a dorm, do this for a few weeks, then buy big ticket electronics to bring home, bribe the customs guy at the airport, sell them for less than local retail, use the profits to buy another ticket to NYC (or Rome to sell handbags, Greek islands for sunglasses, etc.)
or more importantly, a market for large sizes of jeans?

Maybe i'm misinterpreting, but you think it's hard to argue that forced racial segregation had unquestionably good results? That's interesting. There's a philosophy professor that I became friends with recently and were talking about racial issues in America and from his understanding he believed that the government forcing a bunch of white people who had been racists for generations to no longer be racists actually made things worse. Racial and cultural integration takes time, a lot of this stuff has been bred into generations of people, and that besides the point that human beings have a natural inclination to question those who look, act, or are different than themselves. Anyway, my point is that it's interesting that people think government-forced sensitivity towards other races is "unquestionably" good. Which is better - over generations of learning and living together two distinctly different cultures learn to live with each other their own accord, or the government abruptly forcing both sides to immediately accept everything about each other?
I was in the USAF for four years and there's this kind of distinct memory that sticks out. When I was still a relatively new Airman and had just arrive at my permanent base, I found myself alone in the cafeteria browsing for a place to sit. Other than my obvious lack of skills of finding new friends, it was also obvious that the cafeteria itself was segregated. All of the black Airmen sat with other black Airmen, hispanic Airmen sat with other hispanics, and even the few scattered Asians, who weren't from the same countries, all managed to sit together. What I discovered is that that wasn't a singular instance, it was like that everywhere. Every black guy on base seemed to know every other black guy on base as if they were closest friends, and the other minorities were that way as well. Interesting how naturally humans tend/like to segregate themselves and even more interesting some of our desires to force ourselves to break that. Purely anecdotal, sure -- but the point is that I don't quite get why the result of increased segregation is really even an issue at all.
Calling gov't led integration "forced sensitivity" seems rather dismissive, IMO. Many people, myself included, see it as much more than that. Its about creating equality of opportunity where it did not exist (unless you think Plessy-style seperate but equal was working well). But if the choice is between forced integration or forced segregation (as it was in 1964), I think I'd have to go with the former. Is it "social engineering?" I suppose, but social engineering isnt just a government thing, because custom, economics, religion, and other institutions & forces "social engineer" too, which is part of the reason we had de jure segregation in the South, and why some of the legacy of that is still visible. We can all live with some degree of de facto segregation, but when it comes to public accomodation and opportunity, that becomes less palatable.
91% of those using the vouchers are minorities. So the DOJ files suit because 5 white kids are using the vouchers to move from a failing school making that school even more "black". Hey DOJ, why don't you help close the failing school so all the kids can transfer?
There was a systemic exclusion of African-Americans from "the white culture" (whatever that is) for years after the civil war. Yes, the "forced" social engineering by the enactment of equal rights and opportunity laws - and court decisions - in the '60's did alter the terrain and balance the playing field as much as any forced social engineering could. There was a social / cultural price to pay for that, however, including the opportunity for black "get back" against whites, as exemplified by their forced assimilation in the desegregated public school system, and their "taking it out on whitey," which my children - white - witnessed first hand in the '80's and early '90's. MLK would have had no part of that attitude and those actions, as indeed he stated in his "Dream" speech. Now, the white man is no longer the devil causing the problems, and the "system" - whatever slice of it you examine, i.e., education, housing, employment, etc., IMO, cannot be forced to tilt any further through force. So what you have here, is a failure of the black community to first, acknowledge, and then, address and remedy, the problems rampant in its own neighborhoods. It is no longer an issue of unfair opportunity of whatever kind; it is time for African Americans to admit that the current failures are unmistakably and clearly - on them - from here on out. Perpetuating the popular myth that it is an unfair world and the white guys caused it, is not going to overcome the lack of personal accountability and responsibility that is systemic among those blacks who would prefer to remain ignorant and lawless, without motivation, and expectant for someone or something else to solve whatever problem they have. In short, those people have totally immersed themselves in the race victimization paradigm, and frankly, have been encouraged to do so by those of their own color, who are bent on exploiting racial issues that have largely been dealt with. In short, it is not my fault, my father's fault, or any other white man's fault in my history, for whatever circumstance any person - of color or not - in this country may find themselves in. It is now . . . each man and woman's responsibility to assess where they are, and if they look around and don't like it, to take the initiative to do something about it.
So we'll have kids with a substandard education who get along well with other kids with a poor education? How can you argue with that?
What resources or information do you have to evaluate the quality of the religious and private schools in LA?
They can be, the school district petitions the court to grant it "unitary status" and has to prove that it no longer operates a segregated school district and has eliminated the vestiges of past discrimination. If they make that showing, the court can declare them unitary and then typically monitors the district's operation when not subject to the plan for a few years before dismissing the case outright. Here's a fairly helpful overview of the desgregation litigation process: http://www.coweninstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Desegregation-Litigation-Overview.pdf
When I was younger we lived in an affluent neighborhood in PR. Around 1981 the government began a program of putting public housing/projects IN more affluent neighborhoods. The idea was that this way their kids would all go to school together, play together, and that by seeing the more expensive houses daily it would drive those in the projects to work harder and be less likely to commit crimes. My father knew this was a bad idea, so he went around asking for a petition to block it. Half the people signed - the other half said he was being a "bad Christian", how "we need to help integrate society", how the have's needed to look out and care for the have-nots. My dad was able to block it because we had grasslands in front of our house and there was a law against building on grasslands. I saw men running through the fields and part of our yard soon after. The men were setting fires. Soon the entire field was consumed, and they were able to build the housing there. We ended up leaving due to financial issues, but within 5 years the entire neighborhood had been walled off, had policemen there 24/7, had a quadruple increase in violent crime and nearly every house had been broken into. Children who used to play outside stopped because they were being attacked repeatedly. The school had gone from one of the higher ranked schools to one of the lowest. Those that could afford it left their houses because they couldn't sell them. Sometimes forced integration just isn't right.
I mean, is it right ever, really? As WGB stated, clearly forced segregation is terrible, but perhaps forced integration is just as bad?
Liberalism at it's finest. Punish the poor kids by keeping them in failing schools because vouchers were not our idea and some of the union teachers (at the failing school) may get $hit canned.
Unfortunately, government postulates that it is best positioned to solve problems it creates. Rinse and repeat. This particular case is interesting because the students in question are overwhelmingly minority, according to the linked reference. And the state's education superintendent points out the irony that the DOJ is arguing in support of rules that would prevent minority parents from exercising choice to remove their children from failing schools.
I seem to have missed the point of this suit. Here's how I understood it--more black students are using vouchers and leaving poor public schools for private schools. So what...the DOJ wants more black kids to be stuck in those poor public schools...in the interest of desegretation???? What did I miss here? Meanwhile, the DOJ petition cites a whopping 5 white kids from one school. WTF??? So, as I read it, according to the DOJ, comparatively speaking, the intersts of: Unions > students (kids)/parents. All in the name of *desegregation*. Apparently, it's more important to keep them poor but *desegregated*, than to foster upward mobility, and increase opportunity for the disadvantaged. Conclusion: In Holder's case, DOJ=Dumbass On-da Job.
This happens here too. The Idea is nice pie-in-the-sky dreaming, but it's flawed logic to think that teasing the poor with the riches some people have earned is not going to entice theft and resentment from the poor.
Woman in control of her body = Choice is good. Man in control of his Health Care = Step in line and find an Exchange. Parent in control of child's education = No, not going to happen. Democrats in favor of "choice" HAHAHAHAHAHAH.....

Schrödinger's Cat
Name: Maja Status: student Grade: 9-12 Country: Denmark Date: April 4, 2011
I would like to understand the thing about Schrödingers cat. Is it really alive and dead at the same time? I talked to a friend, who said it is actually a lie, that the life of the cat would depend on, if we look at it or not, and that the truth is, that we just do not KNOW if it is alive or dead, and that's why we just say it is both, though it is not true. Is that right?
The cat is a thought experiment to illustrate the uncertainty principle. Until we look, we are not sure whether the cat is still alive or the isotope has decayed and the cat has died. In essence the cat is alive/dead (it can be either) until we take a look that is, make a measurement.
R. W. "Bob" Avakian
Hi Maja
Actually, the story about Schroedinger's cat is a thought experiment whose purpose is to cast sarcasm on a proposed outcome in quantum mechanics.
Quantum mechanics suggests that a light quanta does not reveal itself as a particle or as a wave until it is observed and prior to observation, the light quanta existed only as a probability.
So Schroedinger (and Einstein who also later agreed with him) compared this situation to a cat in a box. There would be in the box with the cat a completely random trigger that would cause the cat to live or die to the point that no one knows if the cat was alive or dead until they opened the box. However, Schroedinger points out that the cat, if it was alive, would have a memory of sitting in the box and therefore this quantum mechanics outcome is absurd.
Sincere regards, Mike Stewart
