Disparate, simultaneous crises around the world have put the Obama administration's foreign policy on trial in recent weeks. The forward march of Islamic State insurgents in Iraq has led to renewed military action in the very country the president so vehemently sought to leave when he took office. In Israel and Gaza, the limitations of American power have been on full display, as Secretary of State John F. Kerry returned from peace talks empty-handed and Israel began a bloody offensive against Hamas militants. In Ukraine, the United States has failed to prevent Russian President Vladimir Putin from trying to destabilize the country.
So it was a rare bit of good news to hear from the administration last week that the United States had "finished neutralizing" hundreds of tons of the most deadly chemical weapons belonging to the regime of President Bashar Assad of Syria. This was a milestone in the diplomatic process that began a year ago last week, when the Assad government was accused of using sarin gas to kill more than 1,000 people in a rebel-held suburb near Damascus. President Barack Obama previously promised that the use of chemical weapons in the country's civil war would constitute a "red line" for the U.S., and would change his "calculus." So when the accusations were leveled — and confirmed — the president was under enormous pressure to punish Syria militarily.

- The Illinois Law Review is now accepting submissions. We primarily accept submissions through the bepress ExpressO electronic submission process.
- Read articles from our most recent issue: Volume 2015, Number 1
Volume 2015: Number 1
The Board of Editors is pleased to present Issue 1 of the 2015 Volume of the Illinois Law Review.
First, Professors Ayres and Curtis propose legal reform in the area of mutual fund regulation responding to the problem of high-cost funds. The article's central premise is that lawmakers and regulators can enhance competition in mutual funds by enabling sophisticated investors to arbitrage supracompetitive fees.
Next, Professor Clowney qualifies the optimistic view of private ordering of property rights. The article then endeavors to analyze the costs associated with violence imposed by a central authority compared to the violence that comes from private ordering.
Third, Professor Monahan attempts to resolve debates regarding the underfunding of state pension plans by examining state constitutions.
Fourth, Professor Secunda addresses the deliberate indifference of students towards the bullying of their special education peers.
In the final article in Issue 1, Professor Hurt discusses the dynamics inherent with the proposed Regulation Crowdfunding. Will crowdfunding as an alternative to private equity financing lead to a greater risk of founder control?
Issue 1 concludes with notes by Nathaniel Wackman, Nicholas R. Vallorano, and Benjamin Sunshine & Victor Abel Pereyra.
Volume 2014, Number 5
The Board of Editors is pleased to present Issue 5 of the 2014 Volume of the Illinois Law Review.

Slip Opinions Inaugural Issue
We are pleased to introduce Slip Opinions, the new online companion to the University of Illinois Law Review. This new publication is designed to close the gap between traditional law review publications and online news sources.
By publishing short, timely articles, Slip Opinions provides an accessible medium for scholarly discussion, while reaching a broad spectrum of legal readers. Please check out our inaugural Issue, which features an update on actions following the BP oil spill, a discussion of the dangers of overlapping trademark and copyright protection for creative works, a plea for clear rights for lesbian mothers caught in abusive relationships, a primer on teaching corporate finance to law students, and a commentary on Medicaid expansion as the potential realization of the "Great Society" envisioned by Lyndon Johnson.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

I love a story with a happy ending.

Zimmerman shot Martin through the heart.
Whereas Zimmerman's wounds were said to be insignificant. None of Zimmerman's DNA was found on Martin's sweatshirt or in scrapings of Martin's fingernails.
The police told him not to pursue.
Because of these statements I doubt very much Zimmerman would have gotten away with it in my country. Here the violence used to stop someone has to be within reason, appropriate. A fist can not be answered with a bullet through the heart.
(Besides the fact that carrying a gun is illegal here and acting against the police's advice/order will not plead in your favor when on trial.)
Florida's 'Stand your ground' strikes me as rather bizarre. "People fearing for their lives can use deadly force without having to retreat from a confrontation, even when it is possible", right? I regard it as an invitation to carry a gun and use it; kill instantly on fear of being killed.
I wonder what would have happened, legally, if Martin had carried a gun and if he had aimed for Zimmerman's heart just a bit quicker than Zimmerman did.
Edit: the one that dies is 'just' unlucky, the one that survives is free and gets away with it?
A man should never be ashamed to own he has been wrong, which is but saying that he is wiser today than he was yesterday - Alexander Pope

is it a original or a remake?
My suggestion is to take it to the range and shoot it before considering a re-barrel. Some of the old battle rifles are surprisingly accurate even with barrels that look like damaged sewer pipes. This may be one of them.
Honeslty if it still shoot striaght and works I would leave it alone like the guys above me said. But if you really want something new I would talk to a local competent gun smith and see if he can make you a new barrel.
1st off, there is no remake!! Clean the barrel and shoot her. It may really suprise you. Now if you do need a new/used barrel, http://www.sarcoinc.com/mauser.html#4

Decent fit. Not really long or short
Super comfy shirt. I found this to fit kind of like a basic (model 2001) american apparel shirt. I am 5'11" and the length came down to around to just past the top of my jean pockets on the back.

quick service, nice people, I really enjoyed my meal and the price was very reasonable, would recommend it
Being from the Northeast, I know nothing about Mexican food. Had a taco combo with rice & beans for lunch. Expected something like Taco Bell and got very different stuff. They don't use ground beef. What they do put in is similar to brisket. Great. The chicken in the chicken taco was real too. They also have a chips &... More
We went here because of the great reviews and were NOT disappointed!!!! This place is a gem in the desert and should be on everyone's "to do list" when visiting (or driving through) Camp Verde. Really can't say enough about how great the food and service was....we WILL be back!!!!
Way down at the end of a shopping mall is Jose and Casa Antigua and it's worth the effort to find it. If you're a Mexican food lover stop in and see Jose. Every item fresh every day and cooked to order in the spotless kitchen, so don't be in a hurry. The salsa, cheeses and sauces are what sets... More
We were en route between Colorado and Phoenix, looking for dinner, saw this restaurant on TA, but were a little hesitant given the limited number of reviews. But Casa Antigua lives up to it's reputation for excellent mexican food. The chips/salsa bar is a nice touch too. It's not far from the freeway, definitely worth the short drive.
You would expect Arizona to have good Mexican food, and this restaurant does not disappoint. It is a family-run place and the food is homemade. If you like chips and salsa before your meal, you have to help your self at the chips-and-salsa bar -- they don't bring them to your table. The salsas are not hot, but the two... More
This is worth a trip to Camp Verde. We were trying to find good Mexican food, and after several 5's, this was a 10!!!! The Steak Rancheros and chimichangas are amazing. The mango marguarita is a must as well!
My husband and I went to this cute little restaurant in the bashas parking lot right next to H&R block. It was the most amazing mexican food I have ever had. I am very picky about my mexican food being raised in a mexican family and this food was so amazing! They make their chips and salsa homemade, everything they... More
I live nearby and visit Casa Antigua often. The owner, Jose, is super friendly and bends over backwards to make people feel comfortable. He waits tables and his wife cooks, and that's the entire staff. My favorite--when they have them--is their chiles rellenos. They're delicious but they sell out fast.
Both of the Mexican restaurants we had been to before in Camp Verde were closed and we found Casa Antigua. It was at the end of a strip mall and not very large inside but the food and service were excellent. You served yourself the chips and freshly made salsa of your choice while waiting for your meal. The owner... More

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
ANALYSIS FOR COMMENT - CAT 4 - THAILAND - Heating up domestic situation ahead of protest

Thailand is again facing high alert of domestic security situation, ahead
of planned massive rally carried out by the so-called "Red Shirt"
movement, a strong opposition group United Front for Democracy Against
Dictatorship (UDD), formed by the supporters of exiled former Prime
Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Tensions have been heated up following Feb.26
court ruling of seizing part of Thaksin's assets, and the Red Shirts has
allegedly called for protest to be of similar scale of last April. While
large security forces have been deployed nationwide, and the government
enacted ISA ahead of protest, large scale protest in Thailand can easily
turn into violence or chaos, in which another overthrown of government or
coup are not impossible.
Supporters of the exiled former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, the Red
Shirt movement will stage massive protests in Bangkok from Mar.12-14,
again to pose serious security challenges to the country, which frequently
experienced a series civil strives and political chaos in the past.
Ousted in a military coup in September 2006, Thaksin remained an
influential politician in Thailand, especially among rural poor in
northern part who were benefited from his beneficial policies. Despite
departing from the country due to the court charge of abuse of power,
Thaksin's loyalist group, the Red Shirts - funded and manipulated by him
from overseas, has overturned two governments from 2006 to 2008, and
caused a series of massive political chaos domestically.
Following April, 2009 triumphs, when the Red Shirts disrupted the ASEAN
summit, paralyzing Bangkok into state emergency for three days and almost
dissolved the government
the group has been relatively quiet for a while, and showed little
willingness to stage large demonstrations. It has carried out several
small scale protests in the capital as well as other locations, but little
has gained nationwide attention.
However, tensions heated up again following Feb.26 Supreme Court's
decision on confiscating part of Thaksin's 76 billion baht (about $2.3
billion) frozen family assets, totaling 46 billion baht ($1.4 billion).
While it might well be government's tactic of avoiding further conflicts
with the Red Shirts by not seizing his entire assets, it provided
excellent opportunity for the group to gain nationwide sympathy, and in
fact strengthen its previously factionalized power by targeting at the
Leaders from the Red Shirts said they plan to mobilize supporters
throughout the country, and the number would reach up to 600,000 in
Bangkok on Mar.12. The group allegedly to occupy main avenues in central
Bangkok near the Government House with the aim to pressure government to
quit or dissolve the House to set the stage for a general election.
However, three factors underneath this protest might differentiate it from
the previous ones.
It remains unclear whether the Red Shirt is capable of carrying out large
disruptive protest with the scale similar to Apr.2009 one, as it lost a
lot of public supports following a series of violent rallies. Although it
claimed to stage peaceful protests to regain supporting, it will be hard
to security some small factional groups who can make provocations due to
its increasingly fragment structure.
Aside of greater security presences being deployed ahead of the rally, the
Thai cabinet on Mar.10 agreed to impose the Internal Security Act (ISA)
covering the whole Bangkok metropolitan area and suburban Nonthaburi
Province and some parts of six other provinces nearby Bangkok which are
major routes for the gathering. The ISA, effective from Mar.11 to 23,
allows the government to deploy troops on the streets and impose curfews
and ban gatherings during the protests. It offers advantageous position
for the government and military to control and quell the protests before
hand, which is in contrast with Apr.2009 when ISA was imposed only after
the mayhem started. http://www.stratfor.com/analysis/20090413_thailand
Moreover, according to Stratfor source, so far military has been closely
allied with the government, and the Democrat government has shown itself
more adept at squashing unrest than the previous pro-Thaksin governments
(which didn't gain military support), making the coup a bit more difficult
to deploy.
Nevertheless, all indications so far point to this being pretty serious
attempt by Red Shirts to force the government out of power, and the
possibility of civil strife as well as military coup has been higher than
usual. In fact in Thailand--a country of long history of political chaos,
large scale protests can be easily turned into massive violence. As such,
another overthrown of government or coup is not unlikely.

The performance of Neo Glass fins can be attributed to number of key features: Stiff Milled Fiberglass - Neo Glass fins are manufactured using 50% long strand milled fiberglass and the highest grade industrial nylon available. This material blend is light and stiff, which allows you to push hard against your fins and control your turns, even in the most critical of situations. Engineered Foils – Engineered foils are designed to complement each fin template so the flex is activated in the correct location on the fin, at the ideal moment on a wave. Precision Engineered – The precision engineering process ensures the geometric accuracy of each Neo Glass fin produced. Wave after wave, turn after turn, Neo Glass produces a consistent feel across a wide range of conditions and wave sizes. High Memory Recall – Neo Glass fins possess very high memory recall; meaning the speed at which the material returns to a neutral position once the flex has been activated. This helps you accelerate quickly and maintain momentum as you transition through your turns.

So there I was, walking through the grocery store pricing brown sugar every time I went shopping, thinking that I was justifed in the expense, etc., etc. Then, while catching some Alton Brown, he says that all the BS is, is sugar w/ a coupla ounces of molasses. Sugar is white, molasses is dark brown, add 'em together and you get... brown-freakin'-sugar, thank you. First they take it out, then charge us again to put it back in. Well, moleasses aren't the only thing that stinks! OK, enough jokes. So, local prices for 5# sugar average $2.50 (IIRC). A quart of molasses is between $2 and $3, depending upon the grade. The recipe calls for 3 oz of molasses to a # of sugar, so that's 10 "shots" to a quart, or 20 - 30 cents / #. So, in a pinch, you get your own BS for about 75c / # -- or you can wait until Xmas and buy it when it goes on sale. Heh. Actually, I wonder what straight molasses in AJ would be like. Prob a stronger taste, but BS is supposed to be a little sweeter than sugar, so a little less might yield the same proof. AB - he da bomAlton Brown SugarBrown sugar (Wikipedia) Rant off.
Oh my gosh, but cider's neat. Taste's so sweet, it can't be beat. Good in the cold or in the heat. Oh my gosh, but cider's neat!
I just watched that episode too, pretty cool. There's been a few times when I'm cooking that I've actually gone to the store for some brown sugar... not even knowing I could just use some of that bottle of molasses buried in the back of my cupboard, just like AB says...
Yup, haven't tried the mix yet, but some on here have brewed with molasses without the brown sugar. Also, Alton is my culinary hero (as an engineer he hits my nerd nerve too)
one thing that IS different and from personal experiance is *quite* a taste treat in cider, is Turbinado type sugar - raw - unbleached sugar BEFORE they take the natural molasses out. adds a subtle rum/caramel like note to cider. it is expensive - but worth it. "Sugar in the Raw" is my personal preferance. try it and see!
Hmm... I almost got that instead of corn sugar at the store tonight.. damn. It was pretty much the same price, too. Oh well... next batch
MMM Raw Florida sugar, the memories of youth, gnawing on the cane good stuff.
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away...a Private was pulling KP in the old brown-boot Army. I was ordered to add brown sugar to a pot of boiling water so that the men would have syrup to go with their pancakes. It's not maple, but I still prefer it on my pancakes. Pogo
This is the very reason that I don't use brown sugar, well, refined brown sugar, anymore. I've found the joys of unrefined brown sugars, and where I live, that means Piloncillo (Panela - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). That stuff's good on anything that would require brown sugar.
So many good things to ferment, so little time... Now I have another thing to try. Drat!

by Pavel Yakovlev: (August 1, 2011) - Heavyweight Eric Molina is going places in boxing. Already rated 12th in the world by the WBC, Molina is expected to fight for a major regional title next month in Las Vegas. Should he win, as expected, Molina will likely enter the WBCs top ten ratings. By any measure, this represents quick upward mobility. According to boxing insiders, there is good reason for Molinas rapid advancement: he can fight. Currently 17-1 (13 KOs) since turning professional in 2007, Molina shows poise and skill in the ring that is more developed than would expected for a fighter of his experience level. Standing 65, 225 lbs and packing considerable power in both mitts, Molina is known for his combination punching. Working behind a long, persistent left jab (his reach is 84), Molina tends to throw punches in bundles, constantly complimenting his right handed powerpunching with hurtful left hooks to his opponents ribs. Recently, Molina and his trainer Ricky Fisler took some time to answer questions. How did you get involved in boxing? Eric Molina: I started boxing when I was 22 years old. My reason for starting boxing was to stay in shape. I was always an athlete, and I did sports in high school and college. I played a lot of football, baseball, and basketball. I had four amateur fights and then turned professional because I couldnt be paired for many amateur fights. In Texas, there arent many amateur heavyweights. I had to drive all over the state looking for fights. My first fight as a professional was a loss on a Golden Boy card, but since then I have gone on to a 17 fight winning streak. Ricky Fisler: Where Eric comes from he is one of the tallest fighters, standing 65 and now weighting 235 lbs.The resources for a heavyweight in southern Texas are very limited, and we are now in the process of giving him all the resources he needs to compete in the heavyweight division. I understand you grew up in Texas, and have a college background? Eric Molina: I grew up in Lyford, which is about 25 minutes from the Mexican border. I am a third generation America. I graduated this year from South Texas University at Brownsville, and have a bachelors degree in interdisciplinary studies. What can you tell us about your fighting style? Eric Molina: My style, Id have to say, is very awkward. I take advantage of mistakes and look for openings. I am still developing every day. Im a strong puncher, and my emphasis is on combination punching and pressure. Five punch combinations. But my best asset is using my mind to win, looking for openings, exploiting that that. Right now, Im a young fighter in the heavyweight division. Were developing a style to master, trying to keep it simple. Ricky Fisler: Hes very heavy handed, has long arms and great leverage. Hes got a lot of natural ability, great skills, and he has the potential to become a future champion. We are working with him to develop his ring generalship and to get him to utilize his 84 reach. Tell us about your management and training team. Eric Molina: My conditioning coach from back home in Texas is Moe Cuellar, and I am trained by Al Bonanni and Ricky Fisler. I call them Team Drummer Boy. My manager is Jerry Attardi, who is from south Florida and has had several world champions. They are working together to help me get the resources I need to pursue a world title. Last year you signed a promotional contract with Don King. Any comments? Eric Molina: I first met Don King when I went to Panama last year to spar with Guillermo Jones for his fight against Valeri Brudov. I am very proud to be signed with the number one promoter in the world, Don King. I know he has a plan for me and I trust that he will move me in the right direction. How did you get Drummer Boy as a ring name? Eric Molina: I like the image of the drummer boy because of the courage they had as they led soldiers into a fight. The drummer boys were some of the most courageous guys ever to enter battle. They advanced against the enemy without weapons, armed with only their drumsticks. Making the transition from high school and college athlete to boxer must have been challenging. What kinds of obstacles, physically and psychologically, did you have to overcome to successfully make the transition? Eric Molina: Well, it has never been easy for me. School and work were my priorities for a long time. I had to work to survive, and school is something I always knew I needed. Boxing started off as something that I just loved to do but didnt pursue full time, at first, because I didnt make enough money from it to survive. Combining all three, boxing, work, and school, was hard but I finally graduated and put myself in a position now to pursue my dream of winning a world title. Can you tell us more about the combination punching you are working on in the gym? Eric Molina: Yeah, were just working on throwing combinations and moving, using my entire height and length, staying mobile and finishing defensive after combinations. Im working on this in my second training camp, here in Florida, under Al Bonanni. Al brings a style of boxing that has proven to work and is successful. How important is body punching to your style? Eric Molina: Body punching is very important. I think heavyweights dont do it enough. I try and keep a balance of head and body attacking as best as I can. Tell us about your appreciation of Mexican and Mexican-American boxing history. I understand that you watched many of the greats on television before you took the sport up. Eric Molina: I grew up watching Julio Cesar Chavez and Salvador Sanchez. I would watch the old fights, the replays. Im proud of being a Mexican-American fighter without a doubt. We have some of the most diehard fans back at home in the Rio Grande Valley, hands down. In a weight class that has few Mexican-Americans, I can assure the people that I will represent myself with respect, class, courage, and dignity in everything I do. You started out as a cruiserweight, and moved up to the unlimited division. Only recently have you acquired the body mass necessary to function as a full-blown heavyweight, in that your weight increased from the 195 lbs range to over 220 lbs. Was that an easy physical transition to make? Eric Molina: I didnt really have to put on the weight. When I was a cruiserweight, I was walking around at 225 lbs. In training, we had to work on getting my weight down more than working on tactics, and it was a drain. Moving up was the best thing I could do. I dont think it was good, health-wise, to try to keep making the 200 lbs weight limit. Ricky Fisler: Yeah, it was an easy transition for him to make. As a cruiserweight, Eric always struggled to make 200 lbs. He stands 65, and that weight limit would be hard to make for anyone that height. He had to spend more time working on losing weight than working on the fundamentals and technique. Now, at heavyweight, he has finally grown into his body. He weighs 235 lbs now, and is still growing into his frame as a heavyweight.

We're trying to support each .exe version but the default ver. under developement is still 1.0 ENG.
13. Why don't you use the uncut version of .exe as default?
Uncut .exe is unstable.
14. I have a censored version (german) of Vice Cry 1.7 - what can I do?
There are some .exes in Vice Cry 1.7 download section - check them out.
15. I have a Steam version of GTA Vice City. Would there be a problem with it?
No, if you installed mod correctly and turned Steam offline (disable files update).
16. I have a crash while loadng the game...
First of all - install the patches 1.7.1 and 1.7.2.
It didn't help? Check your gta3.img file size (...GTA Vice City/models). if it;s about 300 MB - that's bad.
it should have about 1.5 GB. Install program works badly sometimes and doesn't copy the files correctly.
It's very, very rarely but happens sometimes.
In that case - install mod to an empty folder and then copy all of the files to the GTA Vice City root folder.
You can also delete CLEO.asi (it's in the root folder) and try to load a new game.
17. Do I need to download the previous versions of the mod to play full Vice Cry?
No - just install 1.7 and both patches.
18. Will the current (1.7.2) version of Vice Cry be required to run 1.8 properly?
No, don't worry. v1.8 is going to be a stable, separate version of Vice Cry. You will need only 1.8 files to play.
19. What can I do, if I find a bug or glitch in Vice Cry?
Please, report it to us, if it's possible. We'll try to fix it as soon as possible.
Screenshots and videos are welcome ;)
Can i use this in my mod if I credit you?
Will you be making hd models/skins for some characters?

Summary: New monetary arrangements in the twelve Eurozone countries have sparked numerous questions. Why did these countries eliminate their national currency and adopt the euro? Who controls monetary decisions in the euro area? What exactly is a euro, and how does one measure its value? What causes the exchange rate on the euro to fluctuate?
In this timely, concise, and comprehensive introduction to Europe's new currency, Jay Levin, Professor of Economics and Chair ...show more at Wayne State University, answers these questions by explaining both the historical and political background as well as the economic underpinnings of monetary integration.

The top of the Sprint Cup standings and our weekly NASCAR Power Rankings look about as familiar as a Jimmie Johnson burnout.Start Slideshow
Johnson has led the standings for nine straight weeks and has settled in as the overwhelming favorite to win a sixth Sprint Cup championship.
It's the No. 2 spot in the rankings — and the top contender — that keeps changing every week.
No driver has stepped up and clearly established himself as Johnson's biggest threat and the top challenger for the Sprint Cup title. Several drivers have made noise but most quickly faded with a whimper.
Carl Edwards has been second in points the past six weeks. Clint Bowyer has hovered around second and third in the standings.
Matt Kenseth has a series-high three wins, matching Johnson. Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick have two wins each.
But each of them have been wildly inconsistent and have not been able to hang with Johnson on a week-to-week basis.
So far, they are giving Johnson a clear path to a sixth Cup championship.
Who's No. 2 this week?
Does it even matter?
MORE: Johnson's Pocono win | Pocono future | Junior's sponsors | Superman car -
He was as dominant as he's been in a while last week, leading 128 of 160 laps at Pocono. No one is better at bouncing back from adversity and minimizing his mistakes. The scary part is that Johnson and the No. 48 team are just now getting a handle on the new car and appear to be hitting their stride.Next
Harvick had to rally for a ninth-place finish after a speeding penalty last week. But that performance with crew chief Gil Martin gone for most of the weekend is a testament to the strength of an improving team. Harvick and Martin have done it before. They look like a surprise contender.Next
Toyota took away horsepower and Busch wasn't much of a contender last week. But he stayed out of trouble and finished sixth, so maybe Toyota is onto something. Maybe putting the reins on Rowdy is not a bad thing.Next
He won a race with a Batman paint scheme last year. Now he takes Superman to Michigan. He needs super powers to win a race. He'll need the Incredible Hulk to win a championship.Next
Bowyer is rarely great and hardly ever bad, and that about sums up his chances of challenging Johnson at this point. He needs to win soon.Next
He's done very little since winning at Phoenix in February and is trying hard to give up second place in points. Ford may have to install an ejector seat in his Fusion to see another backflip anytime soon.Next
This is the one driver who could challenge Johnson for the championship, but Toyota and his team keep shooting themselves in the foot. He might have to go back to being the old, consistent Kenseth to have a chance.Next
Speaking of drivers who could challenge Johnson, Smoke is coming. We've never seen a clash between Five-Time and Three-Time. That would be a classic if Stewart can keep his foot on the gas.Next
Busch and his team keep giving away chances to win and run in the top five. But they also keep running up front and finishing in the top 10. This team is a legitimate Chase contender.Next
Speaking of title contenders, what's wrong with the Champ? His Penske team has been plagued by penalties and mistakes, dropping it to ninth in the standings. Can it bounce back and overcome Ford's struggles? Or is this another championship team suffering from a Chase hangover?Next
Speaking of drivers and teams that can't get out of their own way. Six weeks ago, Kahne looked like a legitimate title contender, but after a wreck and a broken transmission the past two weeks, he's in a free fall.Next
Biffle came on strong last week for a surprising runnerup finish. If Ford gets its act together, The Biff could be its top threat.Next
Retirement questions cropped up again last week. What happens when you struggle every other week. He's a long way from contending like the Gordon of old.Next
Three straight top-10s for the maturing Logano. Right now he's running better than his Penske Racing teammate. He's in the Chase hunt.Next
Testing at Pocono paid off for Stewart and Newman, who scored his first top-five since Daytona. Still, he's got a long way to go to make Chase.Next
He finished eighth at Pocono, but that's not good enough at one of his best tracks. Or good enough to help his quest to make the Chase. Still 25th in points with no wins, time is running out.Next
He swears he didn't pull a fast one on Johnson at Dover. He must have been telling the truth, because he went back to being Juan Pablo at Pocono.Next
After a hot streak that took him into the top 10, Truex has finished 38th and 23rd in his last two races, dropping to 17th. Now he's got to rally again.Next
Burton has been one of the most consistent drivers on the circuit the past three weeks. Unfortunately, you don't gain much ground finishing 11th and 12th.Next
No one suffered a bigger blow at Pocono than Menard, who had a flat tire and crashed on the final lap. It cost him three spots in the standings and knocked him out of the top 10. He might not make it back.Next
McMurray finished 13th and teammate Montoya 14th at Pocono. At least they're getting their cars close to the same.Next
Stenhouse finished 26th and fell five spots in the standings at Pocono. He's getting closer to girlfriend Danica Patrick, but not in a good way.Next
Like Menard, his hopes of being a Chase contender are suddenly looking dim.Next
One more week. One more week until that road course race at Sonoma.Next
Why does Danica hold onto this spot despite one miserable finish after another? Because she's more interesting to write about than the other backmarkers. And we've finally discovered the source of her recent struggles. She's eating too much liver mush.

This edition is a clean break from the magazine's custom block-coloured background, very racy, dripping with sexiness and who better to put on such a cover than opinionated, controversial, daring and oh-so-sexy actress Tonto Dike. Tonto Dike is one star personality that has continued to push the envelope, not caring for anyone else's standards but hers and she tell it all in her photographs and interviews.
In a sharp contrast, the male cover gives us dark, brooding, Nigerian-born American actor Gbenga Akinnagbe who tells of his triumphs in much vaunted Hollywood.

Beyond the MSM: the New Wave of Brief Blog Posts on Platinum Coin Seigniorage
9:58 am in Uncategorized by letsgetitdone
MSM bloggers and cable hosts weren't alone in creating the new wave of posts and video segments on Platinum Coin Seigniorage (PCS) at the beginning of December. The blogosphere also produced brief posts from a number of bloggers, as well as a few more substantial ones. I'll review the brief ones in this post, and the more substantial ones in future posts, but won't include my own recent posts on PCS during December.
Reviewing the Posts
First off the mark on December 3, was David Dayen at FireDogLake who mentioned the "trillion dollar coin" as something thee President could do to strengthen his hand in dealing with the Republicans. His mentioned was quickly followed by Atrios, later in the morning, who wrote a very short post saying:
I really don't know why the administration doesn't take the "mint the trillion dollar platinum coin" option seriously. It is, as far as I can tell, perfectly legal.
This triggered a post by Michael Sankowski at Monetary Realism announcing that the "Trillion Dollar Coin Goes Mainstream" which says that if Atrios knows about the coin that everyone on "the smart left" knows about it!
Mike Sankowski then blogged again on December 6, wondering out loud where Zerohedge's rant on the Trillion Dollar Coin (TDC) was? In that one Mike refers to the mainstream blogs by Yglesias, Drum, and Carney all on the TDC and then makes fun of Zerohedge for not picking up on the subject.
Cullen Roche at Pragmatic Capitalism, then blogged on the TDC on December 7, in a piece called "Platinum Coin Easing," which draws its title from some views of JKH's I'll be reviewing in a future post. Cullen railed against the debt ceiling conflict calling it "stupid," and also says that while PCS may look "Zimbabwean" it does solve the debt ceiling problem. Cullen points to JKH's post and says:
"The coin would replace some of the bonds that the Fed currently holds solving three issues:
1) A non-inflationary way for the US Government to spend.
2) It circumvents the debt ceiling by effectively reducing the debt balance by $1T.
3) It's a completely legal workaround."
Donald McClarey at The American Catholic blog also posted on December 7, on "Of Trillion Dollar Coins and Fiscal Lunacy." calls it a lunatic nostrum, quotes the WaPo article by Plumer, and refers to the "wacked out left." That's right, he offers no reasoning at all. Just name-calling and this:
"The country is in debt sixteen trillion dollars. By the time Obama finally leaves office we will probably be at least 20 trillion in debt. Of course this does not take into account dozens of trillions of debt in entitlement obligations coming due over the next few decades. We are rapidly reaching the point where it is mathematically impossible to ever pay off this debt without currency depreciation and/or hyper inflation. This scheme is basically currency depreciation as the US currency swells by two trillion dollars in a year's time. If attempted I think it would lead ultimately to hyperinflation. The left are not all loons. Something like this will eventually be done by people who realize it is economic poison, but who are willing to do it anyway to get out of dealing with an unpayable debt. The impact on our economy would be likely catastrophic."
Of course, McClarey, was in too much of a hurry ranting against the coin to notice that the first nearly $6.5 trillion of debt paid off using PCS couldn't cause currency depreciation because it would not enter the economy at all, since it would be used to pay interagency debt and Fed-held debt. Nor does any other seigniorage spending need to be happen except when debt instruments fall due, and Congress appropriates deficit spending. So, to back his hyperinflation currency depreciation rant, McClarey has to show that PCS-based spending would be more inflationary than normal spending after debt issuance, along with normal scheduled repayment of debt. Of course, he does not, and, I think, cannot show this.
Next, brief mention needs to be made of a post at "Twitchy – Tweet on the Platinum coin." This post also happened on December 7. The tweets are entertaining but contribute little, if anything to the debate. On the other hand, they do make more sense than McClarey's post on PCS.
On December 8, James Hamilton at Econobrowser offered a post objecting to using the coin "from an institutional perspective:"

Comments (8) (Please sign in to comment)
The liberals keep trying to blame this on Bush, jr when it's Obama who is not enforcing the law, which states that undocumented aliens, no matter their age, must be deported. Instead of deporting them, as the House has demanded, Obama keeps saying that a law passed in December '08, AFTER Obama was elected, a law passed unanimously by the Senate, 99-0 while Obama was still a Senator (thus doubly guilty) says no child immigrant from any country not adjacent to the US may be deported before a hearing, and the queue for hearings is years long. What kind of feeble excuse is that? No! Obama is not doing his job, and the House is right to chastise him and chastise him severely for trying to deflect the blame onto Bush, jr and Wilberforce.
I guess Michael doesn't know the law. Just before leaving office, on Dec. 23, 2008, George W. Bush signed into law the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Re-authorization Act. This bipartisan measure, named for a 19th century British abolitionist, was aimed at extending and beefing up efforts to prevent and prosecute human trafficking and protect the victims of trafficking. More importantly, it described exactly how unaccompanied children crossing the border must be treated. Congress and Bush passed it. Trying to blame it on Obama is just another attempt at the "big lie"
Actually the big lie is when anyone on MSNBC moves his or her lips! :-)
I can't believe I have to write this every single day. Please do not judge Michael's point on literally what he writes. Follow his links, read his comments and then THINK about it. What did he really mean? His is a unique sense of humor. Often he means the opposite of what he writes.
Follow his link then come back and re-evaluate his comment, "it's Obama who is not enforcing the law, which states that undocumented aliens, no matter their age, must be deported." He writes one thing, but then with his link proves that what he wrote, which is the prevailing attitude of the weak-minded propaganda consumers, is wrong. It takes some intellectual exercise (which from your usual comments I am confident you are more than capable of) to understand Michael's comments. I will admit I don't always get them, but I enjoy reading and considering his comments. I suggest you not take his comments at face value. From reading your usual comments I think you will begin to enjoy the mental exercise Michael's comments will summon. -
..and that's what Hannity told you – so it must be true…….
Actually, I prefer Megyn Kelly, she's much easier on the eyes. ;-)
He sure has you convinced that he is a mental giant. Your insults to Ted are subtle but still insults.

Offering treatments that span 5,000 years of health care, the multitalented team at Dr. Midas Medical Group can alleviate ailments with everything from acupuncture, which originated in China five millennia ago, to modern laser technology. Their range of services also treats a wide variety of issues. The board-certified physicians and nurses can just as readily smooth wrinkles with Botox and other dermal fillers, as wield physique-contouring cold lasers, which liquefy fat in hard-to-tone areas. Meanwhile, acupuncturists insert their hair-thin needles into bodies at key points, addressing maladies such as infertility, unwanted weight, and blocked energy pathways. To complement the clinic?s noninvasive services, the staff also performs plastic-surgery treatments, which range from liposuction to face-lifts to setting broken Barbie arms.
At Bella Dia Salon & Day Spa, Inc., clients can walk out with a hairstyle that's less than one fashion-month old. Twelve times a year, the staff of licensed stylists and aestheticians stays savvy on the industry's latest emerging hair and skin trends by attending education courses. There, they learn about the newest developments in color techniques, cuts, facials, and spray tanning. Then, they return to the studio to apply that knowledge to their clientele using professional products such as Redken, Sebastian, Moroccanoil, and Dermalogica.
Sunlight barges through I-Thie Total Beauty's wall-sized windows only to bounce upwards off pristine marble floors, rebound off spotless white walls, and fill up the frames of floor-to-ceiling mirrors. The modern, minimalist facility doesn't sacrifice comfort for style, however, as padded pedicure stations welcome feet to shed the weight of their walk in whirlpool tubs, and ergonomic styling chairs keep bodies cozy as stylists facilitate glamorous looks for locks. The airy spa is also the perfect setting in which to streamline a makeup routine, and so cosmetologists embellish lips, brows, and eyelids with permanent pigments and strengthen eyelashes' ability to earn sympathy and extended curfews with silk and mink extensions
Skin sports a year-round glow thanks to Electric Tan La Mirada, open seven days a week. The salon offers traditional UV tanning in a variety systems, from low-pressure beds that create base tans, to leg-specific tanners for lower bodies and tentacles. The Smart Tan-certified staff helps clients pick out the perfect lotion to extend the life of a UV tan or determine which level of sunless solution is best during a Mystic Tan spray session.

16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off , neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken , nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces . | 16 For I am going to raise up a shepherd over the land who will not care for the lost, or seek the young, or heal the injured, or feed the healthy, but will eat the meat of the choice sheep, tearing off their hoofs. |
17 Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up , and his right eye shall be utterly darkened . | 17 "Woe to the worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock!

On the northeast side of the Baja California peninsula is San Felipe, a postage-stamp-sized town normally home to hard-working locals, fishermen, and the occasional tourist. But during the second week of March things get hectic in San Felipe. That's when the SCORE circus comes to town -- the MasterCraft Safety Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250, a 252-mile race that traverses rocky landscapes, seemingly bottomless silt beds, and dusty, sandy washes.
Celebrating its 25th running this year, the San Felipe event is the little sister to the mighty Baja 1000 endurance racing extravaganza. Where the 1000 has a 45-hour time limit that allows for pretty much anything to happen, the 250 has a cutoff time of 11 hours, which puts a premium on driving fast but careful, and smart but bold. With nearly 250 entries from multiple countries there's no shortage of racing heroes. But one name that sticks out on the entry list is No. 54, piloted by none other than Jesse James.
Yes, that Jesse James -- the tattooed custom bike shop owner and TV personality whose name was splashed across the tabloids and TMZ in recent months. But what you may not know about James is his involvement with the SCORE Baja series, which he has been campaigning in since 2002. After selling his bike shop earlier this year, he decided to race full time. He'd be competing in the Trophy Truck division in his custom-built Chevy Silverado.
