The weather is getting colder (at least here in the Northeast), and that usually means more interesting and challenging fare is moving into the cineplex. Here's a look at some of the films being released this fall that might most intrigue progressives (trailers in the playlist below):
Inequality For All (In theaters now)
While this is hardly the first documentary to address the issue of growing inequality in the U.S, reviews indicate it is one of the best to do so.
Directed by Jacob Kornbluth, Inequality for All debuted at Sundance in January where it took home the U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award. The film invites comparisons to An Inconvenient Truth, as it's structured around a public lecture from former Labor Secretary Robert Reich.
Reich details exactly how inequality has exploded in the U.S. over the course of the past three decades and discusses the effect this having on our society and democracy. The film is currently in limited release.
The Fifth Estate (In theaters October 18, 2013)
The early reactions to this film – which chronicles the establishment and rise of WikiLeaks – have not been promising.
Julian Assange has called it a "massive propaganda attack" on himself and his staff. WikiLeaks called the film a "geriatric snoozefest." And most recently, the Guardian released a letter from Assange to Benedict Cumberbatch (who plays Assange in the film), telling the actor he will be used to present a "debased truth."
None of this is exactly surprising: I did not expect WikiLeaks to warmly embrace a film based on questionable source material, nor did I expect a Hollywood studio to greenlight a subversive, nuanced take on an organization that is pretty high on the government's shit list. Nevertheless, I'll wait to see the film before passing final judgement. And, yes, I will see the film. I'm certainly sympathetic to the argument that dishonest propaganda should be boycotted and ignored. However, I tend to subscribe more to the view that we should engage with any material that deals with issues important to us, and when necessary work to correct any misconceptions caused by that material.
The fact is, people will see this movie and it will cause a discussion on leaks, privacy and whistleblowing. We need to be a part of that discussion in the same way civil liberties advocates pushed back on some of the false narratives regarding torture and the war on terror presented in last year's Zero Dark Thirty.
Mediastan (Available On-Demand Now)
If you do avoid The Fifth Estate and still want to get your fill of WikiLeaks-cinema (or if you saw TFE and just want an extra helping of Julian Assange, Non-Cumberbatch Edition) – check out Mediastan.
The documentary, co-produced by WikiLeaks and Sixteen Films, was deliberately released as an alternative to The Fifth Estate. Dubbed a "WikiLeaks road movie," the film details Operation Cablerun – the 2011 operation in which a team of undercover WikiLeaks journalists traveled to central Asia and attempted to get local news outlets to publish the diplomatic cables obtained by the organization.
Assange described the film thusly: "This is journalism in extremis. This is how it is done. This weekend, instead of wasting your time and money on Hollywood propaganda, why not get all your friends around and spend your time watching MEDIASTAN instead?"
Wolf of Wall Street (In theaters November 15, 2013 – maybe?)
A few weeks ago, reports indicated the latest Martin Scorsese – Leonardo Dicaprio collaboration might be delayed until next year after Scorsese submitted a 3-hour cut of the film. But more recent stories indicate the adaptation of Jordan Belfort's memoir of the same name may be back on track for a 2013 release.
The film details Belfort's time as a Wall Street broker in the earlier 90s, including his opulent lifestyle and his eventual arrest and conviction for securities fraud and money laundering. A film about a Wall Street criminal being vigorously pursued and eventually prosecuted probably sounds like an elaborate fantasy, a la the Hobbit, but I promise this is a true story. Of course Belfort's rise and fall occurred before our current financial predicament, but Scorsese no doubt chose to adapt this material because of the parallels to our latest crisis.
Dallas Buyers Club (In Theaters November 1, 2013)
Like Wolf of Wall Street, Dallas Buyers Club is a period film about an issue that continues to dominate American political discourse – in this case, health care. Coincidentally, both films feature performances by a resurgent Matthew McConaughey.
DBC tells the true story of Ron Woodroof – a hard partying cowboy from Dallas – who is diagnosed with HIV in 1986. Woodroof is basically given a death sentence and prescribed AZT, the only FDA approved drug at the time to treat HIV. Unsatisfied, Woodroof heads to Mexico and finds a wealth of alternative drugs readily available. Woodroof begins smuggling the drugs back to the U.S. for sale to fellow HIV patients, before eventually attracting the attention of federal authorities.
Some people may find DBC has lost it's topicality since the Affordable Care Act arrived and completely solved all of our health care problems. But for those who think the U.S. still has some work to do on that front, DBC should prove the be a poignant and incisive look at the way our system fails to provide people adequate treatment and effectively criminalizes those who seek that treatment by other means.
The Unknown Known (Limited Release – December 2013)
Errol Morris (The Thin Blue Line, Fog of War) turns his sights (and his famous Interrotron) on Donald Rumsfeld in his latest film, examining the former Defense Secretary's role in selling the Iraq War to the American public.
While the natural inclination would be to view this as a follow-up to Morris' 2003 Oscar winner Fog of War (a lengthy dissection of the life and times of Robert S. McNamara), Morris himself rejected that comparison in a recent interview with Motherboard:
So, everyone is comparing it to The Fog of War.
I compare it to Tabloid—Tabloid 2 not Fog of War 2.
So why is it more like Tabloid?
Well, I have an affection for certain kinds of clueless characters. In some sense, I find Joyce McKinney [from Tabloid] clueless and in some sense I find Donald Rumsfeld clueless…maybe. I can't be sure. There are certain responses he has to questions that surprise me with their amazing lack of depth, not the converse.
Rumsfeld was one of the main architects of the propaganda campaign in the run-up to Iraq. And while it's unlikely Morris will be able to extract the same type of contrition from Rumsfeld that he extracted from McNamara, I'm hopeful he be able to extract some answers as to how and why America was deliberately lied into a devastating and costly war.
The film is currently making the rounds at multiple film festivals. It's expected to start hitting theaters with a limited run later this year.

Originally intended to air for 13 episodes on ESPN, the show included real-life athletic superstars Bo Jackson, Michael Jordan, and Wayne Gretzky as they join forces to form a superhero team. Usually accompanied by their female friend Denise, they fighting crime and help children, often protecting the environment in the process.
This Saturday morning cartoon was introduced by live-action clips of Jordan, Jackson, and Gretzky, then answering questions at the end. After the intro, their cartoon likenesses took over. Mike, Wayne, and Bo used their mastery of their respective sport to help Mama do battle with villains, armed with an arsenal of doo-dads, including a custom aircraft. Wannabe ProStar Denise tagged along with the guys, only to wind up usually having to be rescued by them.
This episode apparently never aired in the United States, although it was released on video. It was broadcast in France as "Le retour du héros."

Research in psychology has revealed that our decisions are disrupted by an array of biases and irrationalities: We're overconfident. We seek out information that supports us and downplay information that doesn't. When it comes to making choices, it seems, our brains are flawed instruments. The real question is: How can we do better?
In Decisive, the Heaths, based on an exhaustive study of the decision-making literature, introduce a four-step process designed to counteract these biases. Written in an engaging and compulsively readable style, Decisive takes readers on an unforgettable journey, from a rock star's ingenious decision-making trick to a CEO's disastrous acquisition, to a single question that can often resolve thorny personal decisions.

Little Brother and I have been playing phone tag ever since I got back from my trip from hell, but we finally chatted today.
"What the hell happened with you and Mom?" he asked. "I asked her and she said, 'Why don't you ask your sister that question?' all cold and whatnot."
I explained what happened.
He burst out laughing.
"I'm glad you think this is so funny," I said sarcastically.
"K, I've been telling you to do this for like, our whole lives. Now I'm kind of wishing I'd gone home. Will you do an impression of what her face looked like and take a picture with your camera phone and send to me?"
"Grrr..." I joked, and said I'd maybe snap and send the pic later.
"So now what?" he asked. "You going to apologize?"
"Nope. Not until she does first."
"You know that won't happen," he insisted. "How long are you planning on waiting?"
"I don't know."
The thing is, I really don't know. I'll probably call my father soon (on his cell) and feel out the situation. Right now, I'm still feeling pretty ... empowered, I guess. I don't want to give her the upper hand back and ruin it, you know?
And now that we have the mom stuff out of the way, last night was the station's holiday party, and I brought The Editor as my date. And...He got along famously with everyone! When The Editor excused himself to get a refill, Meg ran over to gush. Even Brad weighed in, in typical Brad fashion.
"Not bad, champ," he said. "He's definitely a step up from the jackasses you usually date." That's actually pretty high praise coming from Brad. And his date, Mikhaila? I LOVED her. We were giggling like high school girls most of the night. He hasn't mentioned her before, but I could tell by the way he acted that he's pretty smitten. I can't wait to get the scoop.
The night did have one awkward moment, though, when The Editor and I decided to go out and get some air. We were about to walk out the door when two people were walking in -- Tex and his wife.
"Hey K," Tex said, cool as a cucumber. "This is my wife, Amanda."
"Nice to meet you," I said, going for that whole cool-as-a-cucumber thing while I shook her hand. She replied in kind, and I'm not sure if I imagined it, but I think that when she said she'd heard a lot about me, it sounded a little hostile.
"This is [The Editor]," I continued.
"Tex," Tex said, shaking his hand. "Pleasure to meet you."
More hand shaking all around, and then The Editor and I made our way outside. As soon as we got out, he turned me to face him and put his hands around my waist.
"So that's the director on your show? Tex?" he asked. I nodded.
"That guy totally has the hots for you," he said. I scoffed at the statement to the best of my ability, but I'm not sure how convincing I was.
Umm, and if The Editor saw something that I didn't think was particularly evident, did Amanda? Yikes.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Holly!
Facts about Holly
- Breed: Shiba Inu
- Color: White - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Holly's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Holly is a pure bred Shiba Inu. She is timid, which is normal for her breed. She will bond with her family very well, but won't be interested in meeting the company. She has a beautiful cream coat, that is shed 2 times a year. She is AKC reg.
Other Pets at Pack N Pounce
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Holly, a Ogden Shiba Inu dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shiba Inu for sale in Ogden, or seeking a Shiba Inu dog from a breeder in Ogden.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Ogden 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 Ogden 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 Shiba Inu breeders who help with Shiba Inu rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Ogden paves the way for another one to be saved.

By Intern Ginny in DIY on May 12, 2012
Mother's Day is only a couple of days away, but there's still time for you to make a crafty, handmade gift for the moms in your life. Here are some great tutorials for gifts that can be made after a quick trip to the craft store (or your craft closet).
1. Easy, breezy summer scarf
This only requires some scissors and a soft, large T-shirt! A few snips and you have a stylish scarf.
2. Pretty framed chalkboard
It's surprisingly simple to make a useful and attractive chalkboard for your mom. A spare frame, some chalkboard paint, and you're halfway there!
3. Paint Swirl Vases
I love a craft that looks way fancier than it actually is. I, like the blog author, have seen this done with clear Christmas ornaments before, but this is even better.
4. Clay pots for tiny plants
Tiny plants (especially succulents) are so trendy right now, with good reason. They can spice up practically any space, even a dreary cubicle. This tutorial shows you how to make a beautiful set of pots for some quirky plants.
5. Slightly more sophisticated than a coupon book
If you're really jammed for time, this is still pretty adorable (you just need some colored paper and a printer). I mean, a commitment to quality-time with your Mom is always special, and wrapped up with her favorite movie snacks, this is a cute last-minute (but sincere) gift.
6. No way will I ever make this
Sorry, Martha. Disembodied body parts are never sweet, just creepy.

Your review was very well written and you are clearly a very intelligent individual. What are you doing cleaning tables? Go for your dreams, start now and never look back. I wasted the past seven years of my life because I did not think I was capable of doing any better, I'm learning that is far from the truth and hopefully you are too. Good luck!

I am need of a sanity check. I planted a 1.75 inch Jefferson Elm tree in April of this year and at planting removed approximately 3.5 inches of soil from the root ball after finding what I thought was the start of the root flare. It had a strange almost circular shape to it, but I had I figured that it was probably where they had grafted the tree and was just happy to have not planted it based on the height of the rootball. It looked strange but innocent enough to me. Just today, I decided to remove some more soil to have a better look at what was going on and see if there was a more pronounced trunk flare below this. What I found was surprising (at least for me). It looks to me to be clearly circling roots as if it had been previously container grown, and what I thought was the graft appears to be a large root that is immediately circling the tree trunk. Chances are this tree will die from DED or a new Elm epidemic before it reaches end of life, but I was not looking for a tree that would grow well for 10-20 years and then die from these structural issues. I can handle it dying from a disease or other tree ailment as that is a well know risk of planting an elm tree but it is upsetting to plant a long lived tree that is already doomed due to improper nursery practices. I would rather just remove it now and plant something that has a chance to live for many years. My questions are.... 1) Are these girdling roots and were they likely cause from this tree being initially grown in a container 2) would a reputable nursery stand behind replacing this tree due to these clear issues and 3) if they will not replace this tree (chances are the replacement would have the same issues), should I attempt to correct the root issues myself and see if the tree will survive, or is this too far gone and should I just move on and plant something new I had to special order this tree as it is not widely available and I wasn't able to inspect it prior to purchase and delivery. Thanks for any feedback/opinions! |

That looks horrible to me. Likely beyond repair. Many B&B trees are planted out from container grown liners. P$$es me off. |
1) Yes 2) Yes, even reputable ones that don't normally do replacements. This is a very inferior/defective product. 3) It doesn't look "correctable". You could take care of the smaller root (towards the top of the picture), but the large one along the bottom will have to stay as-is. It's hard to tell from the picture just how bad it is. It's bad, but it could be anywhere from kinda bad to just plain awful. Also, you might could work a little on the smaller roots growing from the larger one. If they continue wrapping around the trunk, they need to go, if possible. The more of the circumference that is girdled, the more of a potential problem your tree is facing. |

Life is short. My small 1/3 acre suburban chicago yard has no room for experiments/slackers of the tree world. Everyone has to pull their weight. My advice? That thing is gone by Saturday afternoon at latest. Live and learn, I've bought some duds myself due to not inspecting enough before purchase. If I had a couple acres my advice would be different. |

If it's a 'Jefferson' Elm - then it's a clone (one of the DED-resistant American Elm clones), so may be grafted. That being said, it was my understanding that Ulmus americana is one of the relative few large trees that propagates easily from cuttings, and in fact most American Elms *are* propagated as cuttings and not by grafting. It *could* be grafted, but I think usually American Elms are rooted from cuttings. |
Thanks all for the comments. I actually attempted to listen to Ken (and get the smallest tree size they had). A few years back (2012) Ken had warned me about avoiding instant gratification yet I went ahead and bought the 4" tree and had it "professionally installed". two years later I have about 1 inch of growth and a tree that is finally looking healthy, hopefully on its way to recovery. I would have been way better off going with a smaller one. I actually did learn my lesson and searched long and hard for this very specific tree, the problem is that there are only very few nurseries that carry them since they were recently made available to the public. After countless hours of searching on the web for mail order options and calling several nurseries I found one that actually offered this tree (They had to order from out of state and shipped to my home during their Spring delivery). They offered it in many sizes and I had requested the absolute smallest one they had which unfortunately was still fairly large at 1.75 inches. (I like the smaller sizes for the reasons that were noted but also because they are a heck of a lot easier to move around and plant!) I would have much preferred a smaller one, but it was either that size tree or no tree and I pulled the trigger site unseen and ended up with this unfortunate situation. I think the lesson is to always make sure you have an opportunity to inspect the trees carefully before buying and be aware that underneath several inches of soil you could have a mess of a root system. As far as grafting, it is my understanding that since disease "resistant" elms are cloned (in the case of the Jefferson Elm, it's an exact copy of the tree located in the Washington Mall in DC (link: below) While I have read that it is best to grow them on their "own root", I believe they are often grafted to non DED resistant American Elm rootstock since it is cheaper/easier. It is possible I have misinterpreted what I've read on the Internet. |

Botany shop carries Jefferson Elm in a smaller size. At least they used to. |

If it were me, I might try my hand at taking some cuttings from the tree to root myself. If I remember right, the USNA selections are generally NOT propagation prohibited. I would of course check first. |
No offense but that is an insane amount of work to get an Elm! lol Some will jump all over me but I believe many species of small container (for example 3 gallon) grown plants rarely exceed (maybe catch up) to a well grown b&b plant (for example 1.5" calliper) FREE of root issues. This is my experience in my zone. I've landscaped three houses from scratch thus far with a 1,000 plus plants planted. I drove by my old house that I planted mostly b&b (all inspected by myself) and the size of these b&b plants are incredible 6 to 8 years later. At my current place my best growers are b&b. I only have a couple junkers as they where special order and I couldn't check em out. My point being smaller is not ALWAYS better. For example faster growing plants, species know for contorted roots...go smaller. |

I have a grafted Ulmus glabra, 'Camperdownii'. It's an interesting Elm and not for everyone. Very hard to place in a designed yard. Mine is sorta out in the open. Small dead branches are as brittle as a potato chip. Mike |

The West Allis Police and Fire Commission on Tuesday named retired West Allis deputy police chief Patrick "Rick" Balistrieri as the new chief of police to succeed Michael Jungbluth, who retired at the end of 2012.
"The field of candidates was outstanding," Joseph Kempen, commission president, said in a press release announcing the commission's decision.
"And we wish to express our gratitude to all the fine candidates that were a part of this selection process," he said.
Balistrieri retired from the department more than a year ago.
In Jungbluth's absence, Charles Padgett, who had been deputy chief in charge of operations, has been serving as interim police chief. Padgett and Balistrieri were the top two candidates remaining for the job.

Actors Kellan Lutz and Mehcad Brooks and athletes Hidetoshi Nakata and Fernando Verdasco appear in the new Calvin Klein men's underwear ads. Shirtless men posing in their tighty-whities are nothing new, but a company brandishing a giant red X over their bodies definitely isn't the norm.
We're fairly certain that the giant red X does not mean that these hotties have been banished from future underwear campaigns (at least we hope not), but the Calvin Klein men's underwear ads are a little on the confusing side. On the one hand there's that eye candy to stare at, and on the other, there's something that seems to be telling us to avert our gaze.

When we saw the Wall Street Journal interview today with Fox Business Network overlord Roger Ailes, we were excited to learn more about the soon-to-debut channel. So when we began to flip through, we were less than delighted that all we read about was CNBC. Ailes began his interview with the WSJ's Rebecca Dana by saying, "I think the CNBC Fox Business Network so-called rivalry could be overblown." And then he went on to rant about his former network for much of the rest of the interview. "They've embraced capitalism suddenly," he chortles. "They've put on shows: what? Capitalism's good! What a plan." Oh, har. If this is the kind of muckraking journalism we can expect from FBN, we'll definitely tune in! After the jump, more on what FBN's Roger Ailes has to say about — what else? — Another network.
• "I've made them extremely uncomfortable because they used to just be uncomfortable with corporations and profits because they always only wanted to embrace capitalism on the day they negotiated their own contracts, and they've been forced now to see that it's probably a good idea over all and it creates a lot of charity and a lot of jobs for people and is a good thing. So, if nothing else, it's dragged some of them kicking and screaming toward reality."
• "They probably don't reflect the business community in terms of their own economic and political views in many cases. Not that they should, but they should be able to report on it accurately and I think that they've you know, look, they got burned. They rode the bubble up. They flogged the bubble. They got burned.
• "I mean, there are some very good individual reporters, anchors and talent at CNBC. I found that when I went there. Everybody thought I would go in there and fire everybody and clean house. It turned out there were a lot of good people there. They lacked a mission and a focus and leadership. Oftentimes that's the case. I think they've improved. They're better. They've certainly had two years to figure out what we might do."
• "They've had the Wall Street Journal for seven, eight years. So I'm expecting them to come out of the gate the day we launch with some brilliant programming based on the Wall Street Journal. They've been holding it in reserve I think and they're gonna flood me with a tsunami of brilliant ideas and programming on Day One."
• "They have a tremendous advantage. They're in 90 million homes. They have a 17 year head start. I put them on track 12 years ago. They've got GE. They've got all the money they need. They've got a brand new building. And we've announced when we're gonna come with our programming in our 30 million little pathetic homes. If they can't kill us in the crib now, it's only gonna get worse for them day to day."
• "We're not particularly targeting CNBC. CNBC does a narrow kind of programming. Unless they do what they could do which is jump us with a whole lot of Wall Street Journal stuff, programming. If they do that, the good stuff will eventually become mine. Cause they're my R and D department."
• "Look, I'm the one who put Maria Bartiromo on the air. She's a fine talent. This new woman that they're overusing because she's on now 15 hours a day, Erin Burnett, is a good talent. But she's gonna age. She'll only last another year the way they're working her."
• "If you study history, the victories did not always go to the people with the great resources. Stonewall Jackson seemed to be undermanned in every campaign and won. McClelland had plenty of resources in every fight and lost."
• "It's like putting one football team on the field. You know what? They'll win. They can run up and down the field all day, score 100 touchdowns in four quarters. As soon as you put somebody out there to tackle them and run the ball themselves, life changes. So we'll see how they adapt."
• "You know, the Germans had the high ground at Normandy and you know what? Our guys did alright. I just figure, you know, the fight will begin. I feel confident our folks are ready for it."
You know? We're not even really sure what he's talking about by the end there.

Reviving Europe's repackaged debt market to fund economic recovery will take years and hinge on a re-invention of the sector rather than quick regulatory tweaks, bankers and regulators say.
The securitised debt, also known as asset-backed securities or ABS, is created by banks pooling mortgages, and corporate, auto or credit card loans and selling them to insurers, pension funds and even the European Central Bank (ECB). This could help wean the banks off cheap ECB money and provide funds that can be lent to other businesses, helping economies to grow.
But the European market for this debt has dwindled since the market based on subprime U.S. home loans froze in 2007, sowing the seeds of a three-year global financial crisis and instilling a lasting distrust of the sector.
European officials will meet this month to discuss the market, which the ECB desperately wants back on its feet to help raise money for companies in the euro zone's flagging economy at a time when banks, traditionally the main source of funds, cut back on loans after the financial crisis.
The ECB has fuelled market expectations that it could buy securitised debt within months and one of its executive board members, Benoit Coeure, stunned bankers last week by saying the state may need to provide some kind of guarantee to the market.
Since the financial crisis, banks that create securitised debt and its buyers have had to pay higher charges to insure against default, and this is partly to blame for the subdued market, the ECB and the Bank of England have argued.
But there is no global agreement on what constitutes top quality securitised debt, something that could help reassure key investors such as insurance companies that there will not be a repeat of the subprime crisis. This could also bring down capital charges.
ABS makes up only about 1 percent of insurer holdings and capital charges planned by European insurance regulators remain enormous compared with historical default rates for the products, industry lobby Insurance Europe said.
"Reviving the securitisation market will take time," said Cristina Mihai, Insurance Europe policy advisor for investments. "At the moment we don't have stability in the outlook for capital charges to incentivise them or clear calibration of what constitutes high quality ABS."
Others say economic recovery is needed in the first place to generate the demand for more loans that can be securitised.
European Union finance ministers meet Sept. 13 in Milan to discuss rekindling securitisation after issuance in Europe sank to 181 billion euros in 2013 from 711 billion euros in 2008. In contrast, the U.S. market has sprung back from 934 billion euros in 2008 to 1.5 trillion euros last year.
But bankers and regulators are not expecting the European market to snap back even with ECB backing as investors still opt for safer types of debt such as covered bonds which are treated more leniently by regulators.
Reuters reported in August that a document for the EU ministers' meeting this month sets out a "roadmap" to revive securitisation that stretches well into 2015 as 19 EU and global initiatives are underway, raising concerns over coordination.
It recommends assessing the state of play by late 2015 to see if legislation, which could take years to approve and implement, is needed.
Greg Medcraft, chairman of the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), a global body of regulators, said scaling back capital charges is not a silver bullet for a lasting revival that will take time to put in place.
"We have got to think a bit more holistically than that," Medcraft told Reuters. "A focus on capital charges is probably the old world. The new world needs to be focused more on how do we build a sustainable market."
The old world was about banks creating securitised debt and shovelling it into off-balance sheet vehicles, while the new world will be about non-bank originators and real economy investors, such as big asset managers, Medcraft said. (Reuters)

NAB Show Tradition: Amateur Radio Operator's Reception
Las Vegas - Mar 19, 2013 - The annual Amateur Radio Operator's Reception, more affectionately known as the Ham Reception, is a free event at the NAB Show open to all attendees. The 2013 reception will be held in Ballroom B of the Las Vegas Hotel and Casino on Wednesday, April 10, 2013, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The NAB Ham Reception is a big draw for amateur radio operators as well as those who have never pushed-to-talk nor learned Morse code, with hundreds lining up outside hours before the doors open. Typically, more than 600 people pack the ballroom, each hoping he will be the lucky winner of one of the door prizes. The NAB say the prize list for 2013 has a value of more than $14,000.
Everyone attending the reception is eligible to win a door prize, and is handed a raffle ticket upon entering the ballroom. There are more than 140 prizes to be given this year, which have been donated by broadcast equipment manufacturers, engineering consulting firms, the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) and others.

Inuvo Provides Update On Post-Merger Progress And Reports Pre-Merger 2011 Financial Results
Inuvo®, Inc. (NYSE Amex: INUV), an Internet marketing and technology company specializing in marketing browser-based consumer applications, managing networks of website publishers and operating specialty websites, released today an update on the company's integration progress with Vertro®, Inc. and reported its pre-merger 2011 financial results.
Together, the two companies offer quite an impressive portfolio. Inuvo will now own a search marketplace that experiences approximately 220 million search queries per month and sees an estimated 225 million page views per month. The company now consists of three distinct revenue-generating components: Software Search, Publisher Network and Partner Programs—all of which monetize large volumes of traffic across diverse revenue streams. The company anticipates quarter-on-quarter revenue growth throughout 2012 across all three of these revenue segments. Further, March, the first month of combined operations, has revenue tracking at approximately $4.3 million.
"With the integration process well underway, it is exciting to watch two companies combine to create the foundation to increase our service offerings, revenue and set the stage for profitability," stated Peter Corrao, President and CEO of Inuvo. "We have now created a strong digital media company whose combined distribution, expertise, partnerships, technology and synergies should position us to effectively compete across multiple platforms in the digital marketplace. The new Inuvo has many interrelated moving parts that we expect to provide the company with top-line growth, as well as bottom-line savings."
Operational Highlights- Completed the merger with Vertro.
- Gained ownership of the ALOT™ Appbar containing seven million users and continuing to grow.
- Expects annual operational cost savings of $2.9 million, an increase in margins and an immediate impact on the company's bottom line, based on the elimination of redundant public company costs, redundant employee costs, technical costs and other operational efficiencies.
- Expects to be cash flow positive by the close of fiscal year 2012, after the one-time costs associated with the merger and the integration of the two organizations.
- Transitioned its headquarters to New York City, with the vast majority of its approximately 49 employees now located at the New York City office. The company is looking to sublease its existing Clearwater, Florida office.
- Entered into a new credit facility agreement with Bridge Bank N.A., a subsidiary of Bridge Capital Holdings (NASDAQ: BBNK), upon the closing of the merger. The new credit agreement is for up to a total of $15 million which the company expects to use to fund its growth initiatives and operations.
- Recently launched Local.Alot.com, in beta, which is a new local search service site that utilizes ALOT's current monetization partner and is powered by Inuvo's own LocalXML® technology. Local.ALot.com is designed to further enhance the ALOT user experience, providing consumers with the ability to obtain relevant, personalized local information.
- Initiated the conversion of various applications to the mobile market. The growing ALOT app store features apps that can be re-purposed for distribution on the most popular mobile platforms and potentially monetize search or capture display advertising revenues. The company has already test-marketed apps on both iOS and Android platforms.

Why Is Katie Holmes So Obsessed with Being Thin?
By Alice Greene
What exactly changes in your life when you are a size 0 or even smaller? Do you get more friends, feel more loved or attain greater happiness? Does it really improve the way you feel about yourself, or verify that you still aren't enough? I've been wondering what really drives the obsession with being thin after watching yet another celebrity slim down to the point she is skeletal. The beautiful Katie Holmes has gone from fit, sexy and stunning to super skinny and looking anorexic.
This isn't the first time Katie has restricted herself so severely to be thin enough, but thin enough for whom or for what? Does she even really understand why she feels the need to starve herself? Isn't she beautiful enough or good enough when she is fit, healthy and filling in her clothes with a few lovely curves? She doesn't appear to think so. Yet Tom Cruise certainly thought so when he fell in love with her, back when she had those curves.
I wonder the same thing about the people who call me fixated on being a certain weight. They want a program that guarantees quick results, and they want to start seeing changes on their scale within the first couple of weeks. I explain that I can't guarantee they will lose weight right away, but I can ensure them they will feel better, start to get healthier and have a program in place that will help them reach and maintain their goals. Those who choose to work with me understand that feeling better and being healthier and fit is more important and really what matters, and that losing weight isn't the main priority or worth a severe quick fix.
Yet they do still want to lose weight and have a number in mind that they want to reach. Nearly everyone I talk to is obsessed with their weight and the number on their scale. Yet this number is seldom ever seen by anyone else. It is for your eyes only. Almost no one knows what size clothes you wear or what the scale says when you get on it. The numbers you are focused on doesn't mean anything to the people around you, unless you've made it a big deal. Instead they are more worried about their own numbers, and you probably have no idea what they are or what they "should" be for them.
Think about it. No one cares if your scale says 210, 175, 135 or 110 – or what ever magic number you are fixated on. They don't care or know what size clothes you wear. They may be concerned if you are grossly overweight, but their concern is for your health not your size. Or they may be judging you for your size, for comparison in judgment of themselves.

A crackling brick fireplace, woodwork, and warm walls with black wainscoting add an air of rural elegance to The Big A Grillehouse, where chefs fire-grill substantial cuts of meat and twirl Italian pastas in savory sauces. After guests cartwheel up the porch steps and settle around white-draped tables to peruse the menu, servers whisk orders back to the kitchen, then bring back seafood-laden appetizers, traditional pasta dishes, and hand-cut, beautifully marbled USDA Choice rib eyes. Karaoke enlivens the bar on Saturdays from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m., and singers can stumble back in on a Sunday morning to have servers pour throat-soothing juices before they scope out a stuffed breakfast buffet or request one of chef Ron's made-to-order omelets. Lushly landscaped grounds feature brick paths, low-draping trees, and a front-side pond whose fountain frequently breaks into a beluga imitation. The space's seven dining rooms are ideal for events from weddings to The Big A Grillhouse's popular murder mystery meals.
Each morning, TJ?s Pizza?s chefs craft mounds of pizza dough from scratch. They stretch out crusts into rounds or squares sprinkled with classic toppings or premium ingredients like balsamic chicken, sun dried tomatoes, ranch dressing, and chipotle sauce. In addition to pies, the dough forms calzone pockets, which are then deep-fried. The pizzeria also serves oven-baked sandwiches and baked pasta dishes.
Bensi co-owner Genci Previzi helms an immense menu of classic Italian cuisine, including hearty homestyle dishes with roots in Calabria, Italy. Entrees, joined by a house salad or cup of comforting housemade soup, range from spaghetti and meatballs to gluten-free grilled chicken in a lemon-garlic marinade served over a veggie medley. The chefs also prepare an array of specials such as pignoli-crusted goat cheese and arugula salad, barolo-braised veal osso buco, pan-seared Chilean sea bass with eggplant caponata, and nutella chocolate pizza with fresh strawberries. The dishes are served in a modern dining atmosphere where minimal table settings and simple dark-wood furniture keep the focus on the vibrant cuisine.
We make all of their own dressings, soups & sauces and Mozzarella by hand. Mozzarella Sticks are made from Fresh Mozzarella. Spedini, mozzarella sandwiched between ciabatta bread and served with anchovy or marinara sauce. Entrées include hard to find traditional items like Beef or Pork Braciole & Osso Bucco.
Although Guiseppe Inchiappa moved from Sicily to the United States in 1969, he never lost his passion for Italian cooking. At Rosie's Trattoria, he and his wife—the eatery's namesake—oversee classic preparations of his favorite cuisine, relying only on fresh and high-quality ingredients . The menu sprawls with Italian traditions such as the house-specialty lobster ravioli and gnocchi alfredo, as well as homemade meat lasagna and veal saltimbocca. However Guiseppe's creativity doesn't stop there, as he has been known to replace classic chicken, seafood, and veal with North American proteins including elk, boar, and ostrich. Over the years, the Inchiappas have become masters at creating a welcoming and cozy atmosphere for their guests. They seat them amid brick walls and beneath dangling grapevines that keep their secrets to themselves after learning their lesson from Marvin Gaye. Outside, a spacious wooden deck is speckled with umbrella-topped patio tables so that diners can bite into balsamic chicken al fresco.
Decorative bottles of olive oil perch atop Anna Marie's display case filled with freshly-baked pizzas, lending a rustic Italian air to the cozy trattoria. Cooks crown these specialty pies and calzones with spinach, Bermuda onions, pepperoni, and hot cherry peppers, as well as whip up colorful plates of veal marsala and chicken or eggplant parmesan. They also crafts more than two dozen gourmet sandwiches named for celebrities, such as the Joe Pesci with roast beef, turkey, ham, and cole slaw, and the Michelangelo, whose recipe consisting of fresh mozzarella, arugula, and tomatoes is painstakingly painted on the ceiling.

Last week, we read about a woman who claimed her yogurt sample tasted like semen. We haven't touched yogurt since then and it may take us a while before we do. The best thing to cum, er, come out of that unfortunate semen story were some fun (read as revolting) descriptives for man juice found in the comments, such as "hot phlegm" and "salty trash can water." In case you weren't grossed out enough already by these unappetizing descriptives, we put together a list of the some disturbing slang terms for spunk. Add yours in the comments. Keep reading »

Can Powerful Women Find Love?
By YourTango
In her book Are Men Necessary?: When Sexes Collide, the New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd discusses the ups and downs of sex and gender today, and some of her findings aren't encouraging. She discusses how in movies like Maid in Manhattan and Spanglish, powerful men find their ambitious female counterparts loathsome and instead fall for women working as maids and nannies. Dowd discusses her life as a Pulitzer-prize winning journalist (and the sole female columnist on the New York Times op-ed page) and the lives of her similarly successful friends, who have to temper their success to seem desirable (Dowd wrote of a friend who was disappointed after having won a Pulitzer prize because she'd have an even harder time getting men to date her). Dowd sees the highly successful men of the baby boomer generation as repelled by successful women: "If there's one thing men fear, it's a woman who uses her critical faculties."
In Ross Douthat's book Privilege: Harvard and the Education of the Ruling Class, the reporter looks at his four years at Harvard (where he claims to have learned relatively little) and writes that Harvard women found their affiliation with the Ivy League school to be a big problem in the dating sphere. He writes that his female classmates referred to telling a guy that they attended Harvard as "dropping the H-bomb," which could blow the romantic pursuit at hand to smithereens. On an episode of Sex and the City, Harvard Law-educated Miranda Hobbes pretends to be a flight attendant because she senses that her lawyer gig is making men run.
Last July, Hilary Duff told the London newspaper the Guardian, "The women I know are more successful than the men. It's hard for me to meet someone. I don't need someone who, like, has as much as me, but I don't want someone who has much less because then you never really feel taken care of. And it would always make a guy feel not like a man."

I used to only use Dove. I love the cucumber one but I thought it would be cool to try a new scent and I was having problems with the cucumber one making my arm pits smell sour by the end of the day and I've noticed this one does the same. I don't know what happened with this go fresh line and maybe it's just me. I had a problem with Ban discontinuing working for me as well after a couple years. Time to find a new brand. So sad

In my opinion dove rules the market with deodorants. Without any doubt, great smell, long lasting and what else do you need. Great stuff and fair price.
This works well enough. It keeps me dry during the day at work, and is effective during workouts too. The scent is acceptable, but I was expecting to like it more than I did. Pomegranate and lemon sounds amazing- I love both notes- but the scent is really ho-hum. That aside, this is a good deodorant, but next time I will likely select a different scent.
Surprisingly, the scent worked all day, even in the summer. What I didnt like about this in the end is it left weird residue in the armpit of my clothes. If you can find the 5 pack of these at Costco, its pretty cheap compared to other deodorants.
My faves for many years now. Lasts a long time without getting a weird end of the day smell that I get with others. Have had compliments on my smell thinking it was my perfume. So has my friend that wears it.
I have the travel sized spray of this scent and I love it! It's my favourite deodorant ever!!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Didn't last that long, poor protection. Still perspired with it. Reacted to my chemistry, did not like it at all. I found the cucumber and green tea much better and it lasts longer. Find it peculiar that the same brand but different performance.
Favorite scent although it's not the best against sweat protection. I use Sweat Block wipes for sweat. I HIGHLY recommend that. Anyway, I give it a 4 because the scent is great and it's different than those weird scents from other lines, I just wished it lasted longer.
More reviews by hellokatie1618
I dunno if I just have manly pits but this stuff only lasts for 2 hours on me! Not OK! I used Degree women and that lasts all day and I never worry about lifting my arms with that on. This just doesn't cut it. Which sucks because I love all of the scents from Dove deodorants.

Take 2... just lost a post...
I need to identify a few plants in my yard - can't find a good online resource to help. Anyone know of one? In case you might be able to help, here are the descriptions. I could post pictures, but don't know how to do that on this message board. 1) sprout-like plants about 3" high and 8" across just popped up in my garden one day. The leaves are dark green and kidney-bean shaped, and so far there are 3 on each sprout. 2) A tree with dark red berries (they start out white), like raspberries, with alternating heart-shaped leaves, hairless, serrated edges. According to my son the berries are not posionous - since he ate about 30 at a neighbor's house. Then he found one of the trees in our woods. 3) A tree or bush or ovegrown weed with 5" leaves - they're not heart shaped, but close - where the top of a heart goes into a V it's straight across. Also hairless, alternating. There are seed pods that look like snow peas. Thanks! Donna |

Hi Donna, I'm going to give it a try, although pictures would help (particularly of the first item). The easiest method, actually, is to link to one of the online photo albums, or even just paste in the URL of your picture within such an album, without an active link (which is comparable to what I've done below). #2 is almost certainly a mulberry (Morus), and they range from non-poisonous but blah to very tasty. Help your son find a book on native and naturalized plants and go through it to find the plants that are a treat and the ones to avoid. That way he can have fun discovering things, and you'll worry a lot less. http://www.duke.edu/~cwcook/trees/moal.html #3 is likely a redbud (probably our native Cercis canadensis). Did it have magenta or pink flowers before the leaves, and/or are some of those seed pods growing right out of the trunk or larger branches? If so, redbud is a definite. http://www.tva.gov/river/landandshore/stabilization/plants/redbud.htm Right now, nothing's connecting really well to #1, so see if you can post a picture. Current wild guess is Ranunculus ficaria, which is a vicious weed. If you do a Google image search using that name, there are lots of pics - see if anything looks right. Robin |

The Ramsey Unit is a Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) prison farm located in Rosharon, Texas, on 14,667 acres of land. Many have never heard of it, including me, but there's a reason why UHCL students should be familiar with this prison.
UHCL is the only institution in the TDCJ Education Program that offers graduate degree programs to prisoners. UHCL is also one of three institutions in Texas that offers undergraduate degree programs to prisoners, along with Sam Houston State University and Tarlton State University. The program has been in existence since UHCL opened in 1974.
At the Student Conference for Research and Creative Arts (SCRCA), held last week on campus, I attended "Reorienting the Orient: Part III Ramsey Campus." There, in a video recording, two prisoners in the process of earning their degrees, presented papers they had written for their class about non-western humanities. The video showed the other students from their class engaging in an open discussion in the classroom as well. I honestly didn't know what to expect, but what I saw was something extremely similar to what UHCL students do on campus everyday.
Former Dean of the School of Human Sciences and Humanities Calvin Cannon started negotiations for the program in the spring of 1974. The first person to teach at the Ramsey Prison was Curtis Smith, former associate dean of Human Sciences and Humanities and professor of literature. Others who have taught at Ramsey include John Gorman, professor of literature, Gretchen Mieskowski, former professor of literature, who was the first woman to teach at Ramsey, and Bruce Palmer, former dean of school of human sciences and humanities and professor of history.
Shreerekha Subramanian, associate professor of humanities, currently teaches at Ramsey. She explained the context of their classes, the amount and intensity of the material they are willing to take on and the astonishing statistics that those who obtain degrees have upon their release.
For inmates released from prison with a degree, less than 15 percent will return to a life of crime. Furthermore, prisoners pay their own way through college; some qualify for financial aid and are expected to pay back their loans upon release.
These students are putting in the work to better themselves. It has also been shown that inmates who graduate with a college degree become involved in careers that work with reducing criminal conduct. Recent recidivism rate statistics show fewer than 15 percent for those who earned an associate degree, fewer than 10 percent for those earning a bachelors and almost zero percent for those earning a master's degree. The Ramsey Unit presentation was definitely an eye opening experience. Learning what this education program can do for these inmates gave me a new look at a "second chance."
I think that this is a great program to give inmates the opportunity to turn their lives around. I have a brother here that just completed his bachelors degree and will be working on his masters degree next semester. I am very proud of him for taking the steps to better himself and turning his life around.
I think this is a great program. I have a brother working on completing his masters and couldn't be prouder of him, for taking the steps to turn his life around.
This is such a wonderful program! This program makes me glad that I'm a hawk!
You know what would make this program even more incredible? If we also included female inmates in this program. This program is currently limited to male inmates. All inmates deserve a chance at education.
I actually work in the prison system (once assigned to the Ramsey Cluster of prisons) AND attend UHCL's Graduate School. Great information regarding the stats of offenders with a degree that offend again, it was interesting to actually see the data on that.

A lot of FX pedals can be, very literally, a handful and then some when it comes to getting them to gigs and studios, keeping them safe, and keeping them wired up properly and without incident at gigs. The only way to do that is with a pedalboard.
Stick or screw your pedals into place, power them through a multi-adaptor that's installed into the case itself, and lock everything up tight in a solid chassis to keep the pedals from harm. These pedal boards will earn their own cost in the protection they'll give to you, and the ease of transportation alone.
